Elegy for an Illusion



One of the saddest things I witnessed in my whole life was watching my brother listening to this tune over and over again while he descended into schizophrenia. It was like he was saying goodbye to his mind.

It's possibly one of the greatest elegies ever written, because it captures the edge between the sense of loss and the sense of illusion. We need this stuff in our ecological age.

If you don't know these guys get to know them immediately: P.M. Dawn.
