1. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
2. Metallica - Fade To Black
2. Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry

 

[ur_inner_child]

Covered In Rain - John Mayer

cuz he sings about this girl he meets, how great it is etc

and then the lengthy solo, using it to show time passing, it gets complicated, gets faster.... when it comes to mood and change etc slows down, gets very minimal and echo-y

then its about letting her go, or getting use to her absence.

i know that doesn't sound great, but it really got me emotional.
I loved how it told a story.

Apart from that Yellow Ledbetter, The Trooper and Blackened also have awesome solos.
