Chills through my whole body. This song is significant to my life right now. I had to leave my profoundly mentality ill wife of 22 years. Bitter bittersweet.
-
I've been waiting years for this album, and an even better version of the titular song tells me it's going to be an amazing album.
-
Colin Stetson is my musical hero.
-
I'm honestly in love with Colin Stetson's style. It's more than incredible. His music just draws you in and forces you to really listen and FEEL. It's so haunting and mesmerising. He's a real gift to the world!
-
One of the most astounding musical athletes I've ever seen - and in his case, the music depends upon the athleticism, and would be impossible without it.
-
Wonderful work as always. I wish I could experience Stetson’s music live

When I saw you in Los Angeles last year, I had recently gone through the terrible end of a terrible relationship. I burst into tears as soon as you said the title of the song on stage. I was still wiping my nose on the ride home. Last week, another breakup. Again, devastated. I return to this song, again I'm in tears. The love it took to leave you. Thank you. I needed this. I will need it again next time. You've always been there. Thank you.

After 3 years. Finally come to life.
-
There's something so wonderfully haunting and pure about this track. I'm so glad it's finally getting an official release.
-
A huge reason I've been looking forward to Adult Swim's Uzumaki is because Colin is composing the soundtrack. A true artist of this generation.
-
Incredible, really been yearning for a studio preformance. Also the cut looks absolutely tough, full power. Rock on man.
-
this is the same creative energy we had previously, a true return to form from stetson
-
потрясающая работа, никогда не думал что инструмент может так звучать
-
I've been waiting for the album to go with this since I first heard it live about five or six years ago. I'm glad it's the title track, even more so that it's only a few months away
-
Heard this amaizing song twice live, was waiting for studio version for 3 years, what a treat. ❤️ You Colin Stetson.

Ваша музыка помогает мне не сойти с ума окончательно

Love you colin stetson, you always make the most "out of this world" music
-
It's easy to get stuck or trapped in the fascination those very special sounds have to them. Countless circular breathing players don't get noteworthily past a constant tootling. There are two things that set Stetson apart from others: His (impossible) command of the (impossible) techniques, and his ability to turn those into musical tools for compositions. His (necessary) brawny appearance adds a striking contrast to the elegiac moments in the music.
-
I didnt know you could even play like this? Incredible. What an emotional song too.

Colin Stetson hace literalmente piezas de arte auditivas. No tiene ni un solo tema que no sea ESPECTACULAR
