I'm going to Nice, France tomorrow (with YellowBird) and being on a plane is one of my favourite places to listen to music, especially during take-off.

The first time I heard this track, it changed my life. My heartbeat changed. I may have stopped breathing. Few songs have ever triggered a visceral reaction in me at first listen, but this one did with ease.
