A Chronicle of a Lifetime of Music

It's 17 minutes. Sit back and turn the lights low, drink some scotch and think of someone you've lost or yearn for. It's one of the few pieces of music which brings me to tears every so often.

For this is when I first partook in drug use and in turn, first witnessed the sounds only these men could bring to life. Not to say these guys aren't great without being high, but jesus, almost everything is better when you're high, at least back then they were.

"Love,love me do" What the fuck is that crap anyway? Probably difficult to play after dropping acid also thank goodness. lol
