"Ob-La Di, Ob-La-Da"
Life does indeed go on, brah.

Man Inc.
"Fuck the Team"
I can only find a YouTube link to Detroit one-man-garage-band Man Inc.'s full Machine album, but that's ok because it opens with this beauty. "I don't want to wear your colors, I don't want to carry your grudge." Gorgeous.

"Megalomania"
Released in 1975 on Black Sabbath’s Sabotage album, this nearly ten-minute-long masterpiece only gets better and heavier the longer you listen.

Daniil Trifonov, Zubin Mehta
"Rachmaninov, Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini"
Specifically at 14.42. This 18th Variation has been considered one of THE ultimate variations ever written. Watch the entire video featuring arguably the best pianist and conductor. Brilliant, Inspirational, Emotional & ignites a wave of frisson.
Editorial Intern Cade Pinkerson
The Smashing Pumpkins
"Love"
Distorted and melancholic in all of of the most addictive ways, this track off the infamous Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness record sees SP leaning into more industrial production reminiscent of what was to come on their next album Adore.
