    I've had this album on daily play for like 2 months. Every frickin' song has drilled its way into my skull along the way. This is definitely one of the best on an absolutely fabulous album., and I enjoyed this breakdown of the writing immensely.

    Coming back to this having seen them live at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday. Aside from the set just being a profoundly moving and exhilarating experience, this song, coming in at the end, is such an emotionally charged gut punch. In the very best way. The whole audience, swaying, hugging and living. Thank you Adam, you help people move past things you will never know about.

    @gilleschiasson4485 2 года назад +6

    Really enjoyed this. Kind of reminds me of how I come to my creations. Usually, it involves a riff or series of chords that grow into a solid melody. Meanwhile I get a the grain of a lyrical idea and start flushing it out slowly but surely. When it is all done, I get an immense feeling of satisfaction.

      Just jam over the whole song, and then by that outro section if you’re truly feeling it that hard, you’ll stumble on that out of place note that makes the weavey part so beautiful and the riff will just come to you. Such a beautiful part, it gives me happy tears man… my brain can’t decide if it’s a happy or sad note, so it just fully overwhelms me with a reassuring yet painful juxtaposition of an emotion that I can’t control 💖
      It’s honestly, one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

    This is a beautiful song. Theres a genre of youtube videos that are snipbits of songs and they always call themselves the 'best bit of music ever written."
    I can confidently claim that the second half of Occasional Rain (recorded version) is the definite winner. Best 3 or so minutes ever written. This is from the beginning of the lyricless bit in the middle all the way to the end.
