"He was mistaken because during those seconds, the listener takes in all the silence, and he tastes it, and he's reminded of the silence at the beginning of The "Dead Flag Blues", or maybe "Storm", or maybe"Moya", because silence seems sometimes the center of the music he's about to listen, because it isn't ever silence, because humans can't know silence in truth since there is always background noise and if there weren't the human body would just hear itself in a long melody about madness; because silence is the sound of peace; because the listener's about to listen to "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" in the future, now called the present, and the song starts with the same silence which alluringly sings about how it doesn't care whether you listen or not, because it's not here to entertain you: it's here to be, and to be beautiful, like all the most perfect things in life are, especially when no one's around to tell them that they are."



Holy fuck, that is the most epic sentence I've ever read.
