Thanks for the feedback, Tom. Length of track is down to personal preference and I enjoy listening to long playlists at home and I mostly prefer longer to shorter tracks, particularly instrumentals. This has been a recurring theme, which actually surprises me as no forum poster is expecting to get into any national Top 40 and become famous, radio stations liking short tracks. There are oodles and oodles of instrumentals and vocal songs which are longer or a lot longer than commercial pop songs, 8 minutes plus, included. I've been a Neil Young Fan since the 60s and a lot of my favourites of his are very long - "Like a Hurricane" and "Over and Over" just 2 of many examples - then there a very long instrumental tracks such as Love's "Revelation" which is one side of their "Da Capo" LP, then there's Blood Sweat & Tears "Blues Part 2" which only has vocals coming in at the end. Then once again there must bee hundreds of jazz instrumentals that are long or very long and then of course one has very, very long classical music pieces. It's down to taste.

Regarding this post, bear in mind that I never posted the 2023 original version as the video is primary and the soundtrack secondary, but I decided to with this remix as it has the added guitar solo - my having to remix my old posts is a long story, which you won't know about as you're new to the forum. I have 6 videos on YT in which the written wordage is primary, the visuals secondary and the BiaB sampled music tertiary, so I'm highly unlikely to ever post those on the forum - though one that's almost 11 minutes long I might post one day as it's atypical humour, which some regulars might enjoy!
