[[[I hope it's the right title, because when i looked for it on YouTube it was a different song.. It is 1:13 and the melody is: 8 6451 8 6451 8 6451 8 6451 7 6451 7 6451 7 6451 7 6451 etc etc, could someone confirm what the title is??]]]
I'll try to explain what it does with me:
Whenever i listen to it (esp with my eyes closed) im overtaken (overtook? i wasnt sure) by feeling how it is somehow telling the story of my childhood. Well, no, not the story, because it is not so much about words or actual events... Not even actual people. The emotions of my childhood perhaps? The wordless thoughts i had in my childlike considering of that immense reality out there? I wish i knew..
And along with it comes a remotely sad feeling, as if the song is a quiet, solemn, almost reverential recollection of something i still had when i was a young girl, but have lost now and it feels like it is a thing once you've lost it, you cannot regain it.
It is kind of like the melody gives a musical expression of a lost but precious memory, just beyond your grasp.. It is very hard to explain, since it's all wordless feeling i try to harshly push into the tight straitjacket of words..
Over the years i have found that no matter how many times i listen to it, it never ceases to move me in this powerful way. (yes, very powerful, as vague as this all might sound)
Clearly there are other BoC songs i can consider my favourite, but because i still haven't heard all of their songs, i'll postpone making a top ten to the near future
