Porcupine Tree: Lazarus

Another old standby of mine, this song just invokes nostalgia. From the opening wispy sounds to the tragic but gorgeous clacking of a train fading wistfully into the distance at the end, this song produces a distinct mood and is certainly something to be listened to while staring out a rain spattered window, while walking down a moonlit beach as if you're in a Wes Anderson film, or while striding through a forest, light on your feet, touching and clinging to every tree you pass, looking off into the middle distance as if reminiscing about when you were a hipster fairy. So basically, an all-the-time song!

Whether this song awakens memories in you (just as Jesus awoke Lazarus from the sleep of death), or strikes a chord and creates some memories, its a great song and just slow and moody enough to make you feel something, but not overtly dark and depressing. When the 3:00 mark arrives...that's some powerful sh%$. Enjoy!
