The Feeling That Runs Out of Language

There are moments in music that sit somewhere past love and adoration, in territory where the words just run out. Scott Matthew lives there. He’s as unknown as he is extraordinary, and "White Horse" is too good to let pass quietly—a piece of music so precisely devastating that anything less than full volume feels like an insult to it.

Turn everything off. Sit down. Let it happen to you.

It’ll put tears in your eyes if you’re human. This is the kind of song that makes you wonder what you’ve been doing with your time listening to anything else. A masterpiece, without qualification.
