this song is one of my favorites forever. it grasps emotion to the core-a sound of hope lingers on-the spirit inside me beckons to be released and dissolve into a vast sea. everytime i hear this i think of a knight who lays his sword down after a wounded battle and as he takes his helmet off he looks to the sky before he knows its time to lay his bones to rest. we need more music like this in our lives. pure beauty in all its glory

I love abm, it helps you channel through your emotions in the sweet solitudes of reality - transcending the individual into a state of self-consolation. This song is a beautiful piece of art.

I neeeeed more dark/ambient/wordless music like this in my life... These guys are so talented, but I just cannot get into their harder stuff with the screaming. It's just not for me. But this? I want this forever. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Music is a form of art, art is supposed to have meaning behind it. It's not supposed to be something you just make and put absolutely no thought into it. A song with a deeper meaning is a good song.

"While the second track off Wolves in the Throne Room's album 'Two Hunters', Behold the Vastness and Sorrow, is certainly a masterpiece, it overshadows the first track, Dia Artio. This is, in my opinion, superior, an epic blend of guitar, keyboard and drums that creates the perfect ambience." what? so first you say that the second track overshadows this, and then you say that this is better...doesnt make sense.

Bill Garrett

I read that as overshadowing in the sense of popular acclaim and recognition, not technical or artistic excellence. The better song is not always the more recognized song, in other words.

@HitByTime man anyone who disagrees with you needs to read/watch some WITTR interviews. those guys put SERIOUS thought into their stuff. i think you are pretty spot-on in your interpretation...

@captdel123 music without meaning? how can you listen to _any_ music and get nothing out of it aside from a string of notes and rhythms? take your meaningless bullshit claims away from a beautiful and poetic musical style and spam your theories at people who listen to "music" with no meaning. i would argue that sounds are not music withOUT meaning. it is the meaning the artist ascribes it that produces the beautiful experience. not everyone can be vapid and live in a differential existence...
