Listening to ELSE I and fucking crying from it. There are many emotionally powerful ambient songs out there. Rain World has such a concentration of them though... with just everything and the weight of everything... and the unmatched sincerity of ELSE I is just. When I'm in the mood I just lie down, stop and think, and start tearing up over absolutely everything. Tears of pain. Tears of joy. Who's to say my pain or joy defines me? Who's to say how I even exist at this rate? To listen to ELSE is to feel as the Echoes do... emotion upon emotion defines and holds us back but also defines us and binds us and matters to us and is important to us and is something we can never part with and is something so simple yet so unmatched that one must stop and wonder what one's entire philosophy on it all must be.
