I once saw Third Eye Blind play live...and it was amazing...but that isn't the point. The point is how they ended..
...they ended by playing Dao of St. Paul but instead of playing the whole song, they stopped midway through and all walked forward, and we all sang the refrain together.

It was nothing short of magical. The band stepping forward, singing "Evermore....rejoice!" with the crowd.

And I loved it. It was powerful, it was moving, it was communal. But the song itself is about being empty and alone. And the the song itself is about pan and heartbreak.
And it is visceral and it is sad...
...and hopefully I will never experience it
