Who is this boy? I don’t know, but every time I hear this song I get to missing someone. Someone, anyone, whoever I happen to be in love with, I guess. Or missing the feeling of having someone to miss. Makes me feel like emotion is a beautiful thing. Never mind that feelings are terrible fragile things meant to be hurt and broken, and we’re all better off being cyborgs – this song makes me warm and fuzzy. If maybe you don’t think of Brian Eno as a warm and fuzzy guy, you just don’t know him very well. You think of Eno the brain-in-a-vat genius commanding and army of synthesizers or something like that, because of the whole inventing electronic music thing he’s been credited with. He didn’t literally do that, but yeah, he’s one of a select few who can be indirectly blamed for the existence of Skrillex. But electronic music isn’t all wub-wub-in-the-club, and no one proves better than Eno how much warmth and emotion scientifically produced music can be made to carry.
