“Let us share some thoughts, feelings, and meditate on life using the vehicle of universal music. Music is food for the soul. I hope each of us finds something special in this short journey together.”

michelle asked me last night my favorite song of all times and why...

I had an easy think about it and thought to share with you guys what i told her:

1) set the controls for the heart of the sun. i must have watched live at pompeii a couple thousand times. this track always haunts me and this line in particular: "witness the man who raved at the wall as he wrote his questions to heaven". when waters and mason bring break in at 7:05 still causes shivers - quite possibly my favorite chord progression of all. 

2) 3. because this is the first song i heard after marrying michelle. i don't need to hear this in the afterlife because that day was heaven.  

3) baraka. damn beautiful music. despite the rampant drug use associated with the sound tribe, sector 9 does a magnificent job removing restrictions to that place you need to go for music. 

4) #6.  I listen to this quite often on the train into work avec lac leman et mont blanc devant moi. Being visually surrounded by such natural beauty and this flowing through the ear buds reminds me that there is a lot more to life then trying to fetch that all mighty franc. 

5) mouna bowa. a song for all seasons. you need to kick your shoes off and dance? check. you need a song for sunday brunch party? check. you need a song to help the screaming kids in the backseat calm down with? check.
