This is THE song I show my friends when trying to push them into math and prog, absolutely stellar arrangement and unbelievable talent. This song deserves an award.
i don't understand how this song has less than millions of views. the abrupt interesting start, the messy melodies which amazingly turn into beautiful chords - not to mention the drummer absolutely killing it - and how perfect the song altogether is when i first listened to it i have to admit, it wasn't my style but the more is understood it, it's the only thing that comforts me at this point the majestic and complicated sounds, overlapping melodies, everything specially when it all comes to the calmer tone this song has stopped me from committing suicide twice now, and i wish more people were able to feel how amazing this is.
"So then, let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time, or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes, you would have every kind of pleasure you could perceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each you would say, “Well that was pretty great, but now let’s have a surprise! Lets have a dream which isn’t under control! Where something is going to happen to me that I don’t know what it’s gonna be”. And you would dig that and come out of that and say, “Wow that was a close shave wasn’t it!”.Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today; that would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have, of playing that you weren’t god. Because the whole nature of the god head, according to this idea, is to play that he’s not. So in this idea then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality. Not god in a politically kingly sense but god in the sense of being the self; the deep down basic whatever there is. And you’re all that! Only you’re pretending you’re not." -- Alan Watts
It was cool when this got put onto RBN. I miss waiting for the songs that people would release there. So many songs and bands I never heard of and found I loved.

There's like a hint of reggae/salsa in this song too. Which Mathcore/ Mathrock can always make up for.
That title was so ahead of its time lol
Haha nice observation
This is one of my all-time favorite songs

it still blows my mind that this is two/one dudes/dudettes playing one song/(s)ound
Perfection doesn’t present itself often.
That moment at 3:00 always makes me weak.
Aggressively schizophrenic naming convention
And 7:00 gives me strength.
When it hits after Alan watts is the best part
I always forget the name of this artist. And then I look for the song and only remember "Shimmer" but it's so hard to search for
