Just thought id explain Opus 40 for anyone who doesnt know- in 1939 a man named Harvey Fite began to make sculptures in a 6 acre quarry in Saugerties, New York. Although originally intended to stand alone as separate works of art he soon realised their beauty as one whole piece and began thinking of his sculptures as one. Sadly he died in 1976, in a tragic accident on site, and so Opus 40 was never completed. Great song by the way...
