This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The first time I can remember ever hearing it as a young kid, strangely enough, was at my grandmother’s house, from the radio in the dining room. It put me into a mental state, almost a waking dream, in which I imagined as vividly as real a rabble of rebeltroops goingdown thestreet aswe coweredinside.

It’s still one of those songs that can alter my mental state to think intensively, imagine vividly or have ideas. It was one of my favorites when I drove around delivering newspapers in the wee hours. Except the part where I’d “lose” part of the time the song had been playing, being in an autopilot trance, on some other world.
