Damon Albarn - Hollow Ponds

As good as Damon Albarn's brand new, first ever proper solo album Everyday Robots is, one song stands out among its many brilliant tracks. "Hollow Ponds" is beauty incarnate, a slow-moving, slightly experimental, imaginatively arranged song that apparently references key moments from Albarn's personal and professional life. However you wish to enterpret the lyrics, the song is a stunner. And by all means, the rest of the album is wonderful as well. Here's a live version, but be sure to look up the studio version as well, because of its excellent production.
