Here is another APP song that sounds FAR better in context than alone. Alone, it's just ok - after the Ligetti tone clusters in the song before it (basically think of an orchestra rioting), it IS paradise. That was done purposely.
In context, the song is just a dream after your nightmare. What would it be like to have all the answers for once in life? To never care if you were liked or hated. To find that you were wrong about the world and that everything was groovy?
Well, between the 'aaahhhhs' of the chorus, the soft main vocal, and the arpeggiated chorused guitar - if it's not paradise, it certainly sounds like it is. I love this song - but especially when I've heard the whole work before it!
