Lysergic Bliss by of Montreal (2004)

Overwhelmingly upbeat in lyrics and music, 'Lysergic Bliss' draws a brilliant parallel between acid induced euphoria and the feeling of falling in love, before taking a HARD left into something much more ominous.

The track cuts out entirely, the conductor calls attention to the chorus, reminds the 'children' to remember their breathing and we launch into a harmony of coordinated 'ba dum's before settling into a groovy, downtrodden and flute laden jam suggesting that maybe love (and LSD) isn't all rainbows and sunshine after all.

Outro begins at 2:30
