I just got home from a couple of days in Switzerland, and I feel like I'm floating across the floor still - from the time travel, the time difference, and the time spent with a wonky internal clock. This song fits it perfectly, and I've been listening to it all night.
The explosion and swelling at 0:55 makes me short of breath, and the shift at 1:49 makes me want to cry. I was privileged enough to see Yann Tiersen do this one live back in February with Lauren; she wrote about it afterward too. We're nearly halfway through the year, and it's still the best concert I've been to of 2011. Anyway, enjoy :]
Can't wait till i get to Switzerland (in one month)...

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was looking for details about this song and Google sent me to your blog.
To me, Ashes it's a song that always makes me fly around so much feelings and sensations from my past.
Curiously, at the same 0:55 and 1:49 that you noted here.
More than a great song, a perfect portrait about our lifes, i think.
Great!
