Myself Broke Into Pieces (Naht Cover) - Office of Future Plans

This track comes out of the heart-aching Japan earthquake this year, in a selection where North American artists covered songs originally performed by Japanese artists.  Office of Future plans takes Naht's version, a late-90's alternative piece that eerily predicts the North American alternative future, and gives it an unique spin.  Over ten years after the song's first release, it is now something new.  OOFP gives it a lush, orchestral sound while still being alternative.  Blame the string selection.

The verses are slowed down, displaying a strange phenomenon; slow tempo can be just as powerful as anything faster.  "Myself Broke Into Pieces" is a song that may not catch your attention upon one listen, but like many others I've featured here, it plants seeds in your medulla omblongata like a horsefly has wormed its way in through your ear.  Long after it came to me, I still come back to the song on a regular basis, just to remind myself that greatness in music isn't too far away.  "Myself Broke Into Pieces" proves that we, in the entire world, are here to support one another.  Through donations?  Yes.  But through music? No contest.
