To put it simply, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

To Build a Home is the lush dramatic and epically poignant first single from The Cinematic Orchestra’s 2007 album Ma Fleur. Featuring the striking and evocative vocals of Patrick Watson, fused with tenderly executed lingering piano and strings to create something so undeniably powerful and unforgettable.  All of these magnificent elements build up throughout the song, a soaring crescendo culminating in one perfect irking and erringly haunting moment. A beautiful melancholy, that will without a doubt leave your skin tinglingly and your hairs standing on end.

Breaktaking.
