The Dreamer that Remains

Honestly, I thought the beginning was cool. I appreciated the contrast of instruments and I felt like I was being hypnotized or experiencing some kind of ritual.  Around 2:30 I felt motivated to do something, like march or walk around. When the vocals begin at around 4:15 and I wasn't quite sure how I felt, I listened to it a couple of times but still didn't feel anything in particular. Afterwards, there was a short burst of chaos and I don't know if it was my headphones or the music, but the part of the sound was going in and out like the technique the Beatles used in "Here Comes the Sun" and it gave me the feeling that I was being tossed around or being push and pulled back in. Around 6:15 -8:00 when he started talking again, I got the feeling that I wanted to laugh, mainly because I've been around spoken word artist and I've experienced a lot of poetry like this. I also thought of sesame street and Christmas, but even though I felt like laughing my heart began to race a little bit like I was nervous. Then there was a short instrumental and it was over. Overall, I enjoyed the piece and will probably make a sample of it at some point.
