There are certain songs that have, what I call “magic moments”.

I’m sure there is a more technical term, but no matter, these are moments in songs where there is a pause in the lyrics, and the music creates or evokes a feeling. A magic feeling.

The song “Estranged” by Guns N Roses has two such extended magic moments.

Listen to this 9:51 minute song HERE, and hear the magic at approximately 3:55 – 5:32, and 7:35 -  8:30.

There is something about the guitar, piano and drum combination, that simply captivates me.
