i been listening to this for 15 years. the song captures how lonely i've felt throughout my whole life quite perfectly

It's lonely being the supreme overlord

It's the most beautiful sound ever and the saddest at the same time. It uplifts me and burdens somehow, still, I love it greatly.

Seeing them perform this live in 2003 was a revelation . Best band to have mind blown when totally sober. They incorporate the synthesizer in an awe inspiring way..

Shine baby shine

This song brings tears to my eyes. I don't want it to end.

Am I the only one here who loves that looped guitar section that starts from 5:30 onwards? I could loop that forever.

I believe that's a keyboard.

For some reason, this song makes me feel extremely sad, but I just love it.

try "salt the skies" but, honestly, when it comes to tortoise, it is very difficult to name a best song. this is among the best though, because of the... well, intro, the bridge, and the sustain ... tortoise never fails to enterprise and surprise. they are a real treat for any musician. so much the better if a non musician sees it.....3:36, it gets DOWN shit. ugh. me melts

Pablo Lozano

i listened to this on a road trip to California, it pairs so well with the desert scenery
