True art. This song essentially captures what it feels like to be completely overwhelmed by darkness. The intense and sinister sound in combination with a melody so recognizable creates a feeling totally indescribable. It’s almost as if the light at the end of the tunnel is within reach, yet you don’t want to leave the euphoric shadows. Salem’s discography is the best out there ❤️‍🔥

Same. This thing -- whatever it is -- has some legs. It may never go away for those of us it gobsmacked many years ago.
