Weightless - Thomas Dolby

[link] An epic classic.  The conventional parts of this song are bouncy pop, sort of, at first.  Then it builds through a B-ish part. Then there is a break. Atmosphere through out.  Then back to the bouncy little verse. Then the cycle repeats.  The whole effect puts me in a late-tech/retro world, existential, lonely.  The little song near the end completes the loneliness and nostaligia.  I've never heard pop like this by anyone else.  Ending on the bouncy little verse provides the abruptness that finishes the thought and the feel.
