      I only heard this recently for the first time and it's probably among the more beautiful songs I've ever listened to. I know your comment just 12 years old but maybe you'll still see this. The song gives me goosebumps for many reasons. How this man never blew up I'll never understand. His guest vocals and Tesseract brought me here.
