This song (and artist, MorMor of course) is incredible. Like others, I came here after the fifth episode ("Crumbs") of the fifth season of Ballers. And, I can say without a doubt that "Kisan Teague's" climactic scene; the montage of characters reacting; and "Spencer's" profound monologue at the end of the episode, don't carry nearly the emotional power and dramatic weight they do without THIS song playing over them. As I pay more and more attention not only to WHAT songs play, but how they can actually become a driving force or even a character all unto themselves in Movie and TV scenes, I've gained an ultimate respect for the incredible talent of those people ("music supervisors"), whose job it is, to sift through literally thousands of songs for just the right one for a particular scene. I was so transfixed by the use of this song in the Baller's episode, that I sought to learn more about the process, and found out that there is even an Emmy category for just this area of expertise: " Outstanding Music Supervision". Needless to say, if an award can be based on the work for a single episode, Scott Vener should win an Emmy next year for his inclusion of this beautiful, haunting, song in this episode.
