On hiatus/dead :(
If I had to pick a song to run through a house full of corpses to, it would be "Dead Bodies". Just the first few seconds get my blood pumping and my legs moving. When the drums drop out a minute in, it would be just as I reached a balcony overlooking a wide hallway, and as the ghastly chorus kicked in, I would leap off the balcony to the floor below, falling in slow motion, legs still pumping, shards of glass inexplicably grazing my cheek, which would bleed one drop onto the already bloodstained floor as I landed. But I'd hit the ground running just as the drums returned in full force.
Bounding over chairs and severed limbs, gasping at the stinking air with each step, I would have little time to concentrate on the grotesqueries around me. I would reach the front door at 2:49, throw it open, slip around and slam it shut, then, exhausted, lean back against it to catch my breath, sliding down into a crouch, then sit, legs sprawling. A few moments later I'd touch my cheek, finally noticing the wounds I'd sustained on my way out.
And that's pretty much what goes through my head when I listen to this song while jogging. It's 3 minutes of adrenaline, a meditation on escape, meticulously produced.

And since I under-estimated the number of periods I would need in the second paragraph, I'll leave the rest here: ..........
