It gives me the chills. Great analysis of the vocal percussion, that is one of my favorite features. Although I love the live versions of this song, I chose the studio version for my mix because those sort of eerie sounds give the song a certain depth. I also love the bridge. I feel like sometimes bridges try too hard... like when you write a paper at the last minute and restate your thesis too strongly in the last paragraph because you can't think of anything else to say... but this one really accentuates the tone of the rest of the song, rather than distracting from it.<br/><br/>Nice post.

I too was impressed with the meter change. But while songs like these are interesting and fun to listen to, they never really stick in my head (but that's just me).<br/><br/>-Ryan I really enjoyed that song.

I totally agree that most musicians only use their voice for one thing. That may be why I like Dave so much, because he is open to other sounds. <br/><br/>Very cool review.<br/><br/>-Mike <br/><br/>ps. you should get a amazon affiliate id so that when you send people to amazon you get a referral fee if they buy something. Also, they have widgets which could display in a cool way things which you recommend to buy and then you would get the referral fee. It may take awhile before you would be able to make any reasonable amount of money from it but if your site starts to get a lot of traffic it could make a lot of money for you.

Very cool review.
