absolute music

5:37 of ecstatic sadness.  a song for crying yourself to sleep.  david roback's quiet guitar.  hope sandoval's ethereal voice.  the pauses.  the phrasing.  the simplicity of the melody.  if gorgeous despair has a sound it is this song.  art at the first intensity & the highest order.  as if beckett on MTV, 'i can't go on i shall go on.' a great beauty.
