You know those times when you first hear a song and instantly fall in love with it. For me, it is one of the greatest feelings that I can experience in life. There is nothing like it.
'The Weight of Years' by Idlewild and Edwin Morgan was one of those songs for me. The track is pretty hard to find. It took me forever. It appears on a compilation entitled Ballads of the Book. The album is based on an idea of Idlewild's Roddy Woomble, in which, the Scottish writing community would write words/lyrics for artists from around Scotland to interpret musically. It's a pretty great idea. And since this song was one of the results, I think it should be done more often.
Put your headphones on, turn the volume up, close your eyes, and listen.

Midway through, the interlude is the best part of the song. Great overall mood, great lyrics, but the melody the flute plays is just so wistful and dreary.
