** And ''Geogaddi'' as a whole accomplishes the impressive feat of being both longingly, heartrendingly nostalgic and fucking terrifying, especially "1969."
** ''Tomorrow's Harvest'' focuses on the sadness, anger and despair associated with destruction and the impermanence of all things. The duo have hinted that it is about an "inevitable stage that awaits all of us," i.e. death -- of people, of ideas, of civilizations, of the entire planet.

* The calm melancholy of "Over the Horizon Radar" from ''Geogaddi'', especially after coming off from the NightmareFuel that was the previous two tracks ("The Devil is in the Details" and "A is to B as B is to C"), can really tug on one's heartstrings.

*** "'Farewell Fire' is Marcus is on keyboards, nothing more. He did it in a night session. There are moments where it stutters and it really feels like someone no longer able to play well out of sadness. That is why you should never program music. Even if it is an electronic piece, it sounds very human, heartbreaking."

[[Music/BoardsOfCanada This electronic music duo from Scotland]] [[TearJerker manage to make highly emotional, moving music]] without even using any lyrics at all. A lot of it leaves the impression of a faint memory one can't quite get a hold of, making it very melancholic.
