There was a point, during Low's performance at the Norwich Arts Centre a couple of nights ago, when I became aware of having no idea how long I'd been watching the band, or indeed how long they had been playing for. It could have been ten minutes or ten hours. I was lost in music. It was as if the passage of time had been rendered immaterial.
Standing a couple of feet away from me, a man struggled to control his emotions as the evening progressed. He wasn't alone. At the conclusion of 'Just Make it Stop' he snapped, yelping an involuntary, 'Perfect!', ahead of the cascade of applause that filled the hall, dismantling the audience's breath-held rapture. Nicely put Sir.

That's great. I went through a Low phase a couple of years ago but haven't listened to them for ages - must get back on board. Would love to see them live one day.

I found this song, and the video, unexpectedly moving (in a good way)!
Thanks all. They were so good and frequently moving. Expectations exceeded.
