Creek Marys Blood by Nightwish. I have always had a fascination with all of The Native American tribes. I guess listening to a song about them by my favorite band Nightwish had a very profound impact on me, more like euphoria. My father was a guest at a Native American weddding years ago in Canada and through his love of the people I developed the same appreciation. As white men we need to hang our heads in shame.

Explosions in the Sky - First Breath after a Coma

The first time i heard it i had to turn it off and stop. The second time I put it on was on a plane as the plane came up through the clouds and into sunlight. I honestly felt like my chest was on fire.
