If anyone want to fill the epicness of the song, you need to do these things:
Get on a plane
start the music
make sure the plain take loose of the ground at 00:11
the sound of the plane leaving the SURFACE will boost the song and makes you feel it
then comes the inflight.
this was the first choice, it goes the same way for landing, start like 4 min before landing,
the music becomes more intense and towards towards 4:00
you should Surface, if it happened than you'll be happy that you felt the true meaning of this song to my opinion.
these 2 suggestions are my own personal ways of understanding the name Surface, and just now I figured out that the name refers to Surface- landing, I actually try these 2 methods, using them on the same flight is something out of this world, a sensation of "this was the start and this was the end" closing the circle of epicness and freedom at the never ending skies...
one of tthe most moving songs I've heard, I've always thought it would be good for landing, but I haven't figure untill now that this might be the real source, and maybe it is.
