Boy was this one ever long. The sharps and flats of this song more or less give it that slight egyptian music feel, but dont get me wrong, It is NOT an egyptian song,,lol. Nothing exciting in this one folks. The fact that its long does not classify it as anything special. I did hear the same thing over and over again which got me thinking about how much shorter it would be if they took out parts they had already played. And just when I thought it was over, after a nice little fadeaway, the song starts up again with reversed chord usage, seemed like the same beat and tune. The little added distortion effect guitar sample was a nice touch but it is faintly heard. I honestly though it was a bit long and I kind of sat there watching the clock run down on the songlength waiting for it to end. The song in itself was a bit sad and depressing, BUT it was a nice depression "oxymoron" or what!. Same beat throughout the song, and the tune is the same with an occasional note change every now and than. The song is rather long because of the repetitiveness of the same patterns. I see this song on a cover of a "sleep therapy" CD, But that's just me. Actually, i'm wrong, the song is too much of the same thing over to let someone fall asleep, Knowing how I am, if I had this song in a CD player because I wanted to fall asleep to music, i'd chuck it across the room.
