04. Atoms for Peace – Dropped
The contrast here is so beautiful. There’s this tension and simplicity to the first part and then Flea’s bass drops in and it’s just this transcendent moment where all these memories are swirling around. I was lucky enough to see them perform this song live at Treasure Island in San Francisco and the entire performance was one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen; it was one of those rare moments for me when seeing the music performed live recontextualized the album and after that it really had new meaning for me.
