Stairway to Heaven

One of the most beautiful and painful songs I've ever heard is "Vanlose Stairway" by Van Morrison. I can listen to it anywhere--on the train, on the roof or in my room, and it always takes me to the same place. It's a direct line to the aching in my heart, and connects me to such intense sadness and emotion that I am forced to kneel before the edge of the universe and beg for forgiveness.
