This song is amazing. I'd never heard GY!BE before, although I'd heard a million references, so needless to say I was excited to take a listen. GY!BE is a phenomenal group of musicians who have a talent for creating innovating, beautiful and touching music. The poetic monologue at the beginning is breathtaking in itself, and the whole piece is so thought-provoking. When the violins wail, you feel their pain. The movements within the song are each substantial in their own right, and when combined, the result is a powerful, moving piece. I could listen to this song all day.
