One of the greatest things about Devin Townsend is he's just a local boy, and also a world-class artist, all in one. He engages with you on a personal, human level. Yet he manages to make music for the whole human race.

It's rare to find someone who's discography consists of mostly live tracks for an entire album. However, once you listen to him "live" right here and good ol' KZfaq, you start to understand that there could be no other way. Who gets their sound perfect nearly every time? The only other example that comes anywhere near that is the sound on Peter Frampton Live. God, I love this stuff!!

I had a major breakthrough to this song during a mushroom journey. It was like a part of my soul and body separated and I was staring at my soul in front of me and suddenly who I am as a person made more sense to me then it ever has. I have always dealt with pretty extreme depression and self loathing and getting a hug from my soul during that experience was so profound that trying to describe it in words seems to do the experience no justice. Now every time I listen to this song, it's like there is something holding me making the cold nights a little less cold.
