Wonderful. This is the first song that truly invited me into the world of music. Before, I'd only listened to hymns and religious music (I grew up in a heavily Christian environment).

Growing up this was one of the songs where I'd be able to pop in my earbuds and at the chorus line "I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly" I couldn't help but feel a euphoric sense of happiness. I don't quite know how to explain it, but its forever etched into my mind (and my playlist), as a favorite <3

I feel you! Everytime I hear this song is like my body is creating hapiness as a reaction. AMAZING!
