Double-whammy track of this week this week. Not only do you get two tracks, but you get about fifteen minutes worth of music because one of them is long-ish and one of them is just plain long. These two songs, which I really like to think of as one, are by Tool and are collectively called "Wings For Marie." The song, off their most recent album, 10,000 Days, is written for Maynard James Keenan's mother, who was paralyzed for 30 years (roughly 10,000 days) until she died, and the song is about her struggle and her faith. It's powerful, it's beautiful, it's trancelike, and despite being about fifteen minutes long put together, it doesn't get boring for a second. Easily one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.Monday, December 17, 2007
