The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

The final track on Revolver, released in 1966, broke with traditional song structures and recording processes, signaled a larger shift in popular culture, and urged the listener to “surrender to the void.” It uses tape looping, Indian harmonics, and George Martin’s now-famous speaker cabinet, which he built to record this song. It brought the psychedelic ideas of Timothy Leary et al to the mainstream. 

Mad Men’s use of this track in the latest episode was pretty epic. I can’t think of a better song to soundtrack standing on the edge of the abyss.

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game “Existence” to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
