I'm not even sure of the name of the song on this that I love, but I think it's the Svefn one. I like this album but I never did memorize all the song titles, being what they are.

This is one of those albums that really shows the emotional power of music.

This whole album is sung in this faux Icelandic language, it's essentially a bunch of nonsense, but damn if Svefn-G-Englar doesn't bring me near to tears every time I hear it. The moment that big, fuzzy guitar comes in, it kicks me in the gut. It's one of those albums where, if I'm having a bad day, I'll put it on, crank it as loud as I can, and just lose myself in it.
