A while ago, I started writing about the music I listen to, which can only be described as diverse and occasionally obscure.

This was also my attempt to introduce some of my readers to more non-mainstream music. Some of them ranged from the practically unknown (e.g. a Swedish a Capella group), to more well known artists (e.g. DJ Tiesto or Daft Punk).

This time around, I’m only going to offer you one song. Just one.

It’s 23 minutes long. And boy is it epic.

The song called “Sleep” and is by the Canadian post-rock group Godspeed You! Black Emperor from their album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. It begins with a man reminiscing about Coney Island. “They don’t sleep anymore on the beach,” he says, in chagrin. It crescendos, climaxes, decrescendos — and just when you think that it’s all over, it takes you back for one last spin.

This is something you need to listen to all the way through. But you won’t regret it.
