I throw this to the wind
But what if I was right
Well, did you trust your noble dreams
And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?

    I got this track from the video Intro to Black Ops II. Some games, like SRTT3 and GTA, have songs that I know listen to thanks to them. Like Miike Snow's Animal, Riot Rhythm by Sleigh Bells, No Sex For Ben by The Rapture, etc

    How he wraps up feelings like this so beautifully in a song, I'll never know. Heartbreakingly poignant if you've ever lost someone.

    Guy dedicated this track to a dear departed friend at the Sydney Hordern show last night, and was close to tears by the end of it... stunning.

    Love this. Reminds me of Pink Floyd's 'The Final Cut'... in a good way.

    Am I the only one who thinks this sounds similar to Abba's "Fernando"?
