(30) Days of Music: Day 18

[sechan19]

Sing me a song, but not for me alone...

An instrumental song you like
"Samskeyti," Sigur Rós.

I first heard this song on the soundtrack of the beautiful, daring, and utterly dark film Mysterious Skin. In it, the main character's moment of sublime realization is intrinsically tied (for the viewer) to the playing of this song. It's a magical moment, and not just because of the superb narrative quality of the tale but also because this composition is one of the most beautiful pieces of music of the early twenty-first century. Indeed, it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music when measured against the works of any time period.
