I don't know about you, but I have certain pieces of music that I'll come back to time and time again. Pieces that mean a lot more to me than others - the ones that always provoke a reaction. I've had a weird, unsettling day today for reasons that aren't entirely mine. And I've found the past few months or so a bit of an uphill battle a lot of the time. I also know that I'm not the only one out there. And sometimes you don't have the words to really show the support that you want to. So instead, I'm going to let someone else do it for me, in a way better than I ever could.
I love this song. I loved it for many, many years, but it took on a whole new meaning when I heard it sung as part of the Manchester Passion a few years back. I've never been able to find a recording of that, sadly - but it was amazing. But all I know is that, tonight, if you've been struggling, I want you to know that you're not alone in this. Because I love you.

oh man i loooooove that song. just put a smile on my face hearing it again. i saw them perform it in '95, i think, at an outdoor festival in san diego, and they encouraged everyone in the back to rush toward the front and 'sit down'. nearly started a riot!
here's a song i've been turning to lately when feeling a bit overwhelmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DarK4nUf2i0
