"The beginning piano tinkle also always makes me think of a song still to come." - The world of spirit write-up

I don't really know what to say about this. It's just so beautiful to listen to. That's probably the biggest problem with talking about my top five. I just love them. I have no justifications or reasons, they just exist up on this higher plane of enjoyment. I love the instruments that pop in and out, I love the soothingness of the voice, I love the choral singers, I've made a lot of mistakes in my mind, in my mind. It's just a sweeping pretty song. Starting afresh somewhere, freedom to start a new journey. Being there with the support of a friend so you don't have to face it alone. Just a lovely song.

Alright, let's try this one more time and see if anything's changed.

...This is really happening. Happening...

Nope, I don't get Radiohead.

I had a lot of fun listening to your nominations, and... I should probably start being serious after "Idioteque" ends. The singer just started singing in only my right ear and I hate it.

Ah, okay. "Intro & Rondo." I had a lot of fun listening to your nominations. "Chicago," "Everlong," and "Bachelorette" are wonderful. I don't grasp onto your entries emotionally like I've done with so many others, but I appreciate them a lot. "Intro & Rondo" is beautiful, and much better playing behind typing these words than empty on its own and compared to other pieces. Thank you for both a good time, and for letting me explore and experience a part of the '90s that I ignored and will likely continue to ignore. Don't wanna be some pretender.
