Mavis Staples-"I Have Learned To Do Without You"
Her fearless, soaring vocal from 3.17 until the end. Bloody hell.

There's a moment near the start of 'The Caves of Altamira' that absolutely moves me, every time i hear it, and there are times where i will go back and replay that part 3-4 times just to soak in its genius.
It's at about the 18-19 second mark. Fagan has just finished the line "I recall when i was small how i spent my days alone...", and the piano is doing these lovely stately chords, but then suddenly drops to one much lower, darker and moodier. That shift, fuck, it seems to him me like a 2x4 whenever he hits it. It seems to carry so much meaning, the stuff that words can't capture, the essence of emotion. It's repeated again in the song, like the following verse, and i always look forward to it with relish, but the impact of that first, the unexpectedness of it - i mean, i'm not expecting Horace Silver-type piano brilliance when i am listening to a rock song - is something very special to me.
