Incubus, the album Light Grenades, "Oil and Water"

Are the first thirty-seven seconds of this song the most mellow seconds of any musical composition ever, or is it just me?

I have to agree with Floyd as the band and I can name the 37 seconds....

It's the 37 seconds following the intro to "Breathe" where the beating heart and the screaming guy finally rise up and rupture into this utterly relaxing hazy dreamscape instrumental before "breathe....breathe in the air" kicks off the lyrics....i mean that 37 seconds can damn near make a sober man stoned.

A close runner up would be Duane Allman's ultra-sleepy-trippy solo after the first section of lyrics in "Dreams" by The Allman Brothers....you just feel like you're floatin downstream on some backwoods North Georgia canoe fishin with some buddies or something...it's SO deeeeeeply southern and backwoods sounding, it just makes all urban noise disappear.

My 3rd runner up would be from Radiohead's "How To Disappear Completely"...the live versions or BBC version where the first minute or so is that discordant almost airport-beeper sounding noises that are so stressful sounding, and then WHOOSH they all die away and Thom is standing there playing the most windswept open-range sounding acoustic guitar shuffle ever. It's like the sky clears for 100 miles in front of you at that moment. Anyway, those are 3 examples that can rival your Incubus song.
