Fire On High

I am currently browsing "Google Earth" while listening to "Fire on High" by the electric light orhestra. I remember hearing the song back when I was a Freshman at Rutgers. I was eating in the dining hall when suddenly on the radio following a mosaic of spooky holloween music an archaic strum breaking acoustic guitar that seemed rhythmically unusual echoed through the halls. Then came this majestic, gorgeous rock opera electric guitar with choir a symphony in the background. Withing minutes I loved it, but with no lyrics I could'nt ever identify the artist.
The song is amazing. Probably the best instrumental from the 1970s. It's one of those amazing songs that seem to conjure a memory of something exciting from your past, while making you close you eyes and just feel pleasure. Probably the closest thing to getting a audio high. It's amazing what music can do, especially how it can make you feel.
