I moved on thereafter to the longer version, and I was reticent about the tune being longer . . . plus, I generally think shorter is better and at 3:36 it sits at a nice length.

Ok, so I’m surprised, I thought it would be longer. The difference is only 9 seconds? Is that right? I wouldn’t sweat that difference—go your gut and the version that works for you. And if I’m to be honest . . . I’m not sure I discerned the differences on my casual listen.

Great song, whichever version! Oh, and like Floyd, I love that "ping-ponging" effect at 1:30 . . . cool, creative touch.

Hope all is good with you,

Deej

Thanks Deej,
Not much longer but the folley additions do make a significant difference to the song - some say spoiling it, some say signalling the surprise ending and some say it's simply unnecessary.

Cheers
