4 comments for maybe the best song ever.

raging bull you know what im talking about...such a great jam intro.

ok now for the song:

we are easily trapped by this idea that meaning in our lives is ascertained by time (past or future). to truly save our lives we must latch on to the present (in essence - timelessness). the consequences of this are immense, including a great devaluation of material possessions (such as houses).
