This song has quickly become one of my favorite songs of all-time. Like top 20 perhaps. It's really that amazing. I just saw the video for the first time today, and it's quite interesting. Although I think the edits to the song detract a bit from the massive buildup, it still holds power. The makeup is wonderfully weird and I had always imagined a video with just a closeup on his face.

cool song. i like it. his face make up reminds me of Peter Gabriel.

The song grabbed me by the balls more than any song I've heard in a long time- instantly. Such a juggernaut of emotion as the pain of aging really sinks its teeth in. That repeated piano riff echoes the feeling of life whizzing by, and the increasingly aching guitar and passionate vocals really take it over the top. It's got the New Order melodic bass, all the grandeur of a U2 classic and the poignant, dejected vocals of Bowie's "Teenage Wildlife". Perfection.

To hear the whole song, you can check out this fan-made vid. I think the song is much better heard in its entirety.

I tried to search for a still of the video, and Google came up with this on the FIRST PAGE!



Damn you Anx!
