We all occasionally hear something that's so mind-blowing that we want to shout about it from the rooftops--hence this topic.

You think Arcade Fire have shot their bolt in "My Body Is A Cage" but then at 2:10...

The entire album is worth investigating: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Bible

Great idea. I call them “Good Vibrations moments” – when I hear a song that just stops me dead in my tracks. Doesn’t happen often and when it does it feels seismic.

Here’s one of the more recent; English folk group Rachel Unthank and the Winterset:

The harmonies just blew my brain apart.

Well, every morning about this time,
She gets me out of bed, a-crying, "Get a job",
After breakfast everyday she throws the want ads right my way,
And never fails to say: "Get a job."

There are some amazing chords in there! It reminds me--but in some ways only--of this stunning piece. The entire album is a gas:
