Burial | Endorphin I remember my initial thoughts after listening to this one was just wishing it were longer. I wanted that moment to last so bad it almost hurt. It was akin to the painful desire to relive some of your fondest memories and knowing that just looking at a picture, or in this case just running the song back will never ever be enough to feel that first time all over again. If nothing else the song is just a comfortable space to be lost in, to be hurt in, it’s something to help share the load even if its just three minutes long. I hear a song like this and I know that, somewhere, somebody cares and that tangible sense of Empathy is one of the most critical bonds between a song and the listener. The real reason this song makes the list for me though is the context that it’ll forever hold for me. I remember walking home from a party after what would be my first heartbreak. I remember just popping this song on and I honestly could barely take it. I finally understood that the relative brevity of the song was an act of Mercy. A second longer and I think it would have destroyed me. The fact that someone can build a space like that from a few samples still blows my mind.
