Lift me up

Somehow by accident, I got this track playing on my computer - it's Mylo's remix version of Moby's Lift Me Up.

I was so getting into this the last two nights for some really bizarre reason. Its dance but it strangely starts off like it's an 80s cheesy tune, with the 'machine gun' electronica sound going dhu dhu dhu dhu (really fast) in the background...

and then... this music, if you can call it music. Maybe it's more apt to call it noise, but it's not really noise coz it has a pitch. But it's one of those synthesiser things and when you press a note it just seems to spread.
I was listening to the track and it reached this part where it hit one note, in succession, three times, but each time, the note was held longer, so the effect was like a spread-thing... going wer warrr warhhh wer warrrr warhhhh... and just as you're listening to it, the hairs at the back of your neck stand, and I can feel myself, my brain expanding with the music. in rhythm to the wer warr warhh and it's like I ascend. emotionally. mentally. anything.

Then the lyrics come in and it's a bit fuzzy... and it goes "Lift me up, lift me up, high above the wonder" (might have got the second phrase wrong but that's what it sounds like) and it's like a chant and as you hear 'lift me up, lift me up', you're getting lifted up... in every way.

And you close your eyes. And the music invades you. And you have a smile for no reason. Everything is going up...

... and it is the most uncanny, weird.. and most wonderful feeling.
