Yep, I was never really happy with how I did that. It\'s like how you wouldn\'t describe everything that happened in a scene from Once Upon a Time in America (greatest film of all the times) on a trope page. Less is more. Pictures, thousand words, etc. Actually, considering that YT video consists of an untold number of frames that equates to a metric ton of words... aaaand now I\'m going cross-eyed!

I was literally knocked out of my body when this one came on. Blindsided.

Added DiffLines:

* "Touch", Paul's contribution to Music/DaftPunk's album ''Random Access Memories'', for which he also performs lead vocals. An [[EpicRocking eight-minute epic]] that goes through numerous adventurous style changes, filled to the brim with poignant existentialism and ThePowerOfLove, and a spine-chilling intro that's a total homage to ''Film/PhantomOfTheParadise''. Also Paul's best lyrical work in damn near 40 years. StillGotIt.
