    Last.fm Radio; What a thing to use. I got here by listening to Shriekback Radio and it does sound similar!

    As szarka says, this is not the version it purports to be. Good, but not a patch on the version that really is on Retrospectacle!

    The version here on last.fm is the live version from The Sole Inhabitant. Good, but not as good as the original. This is *not* the version included on Retrospectacle, despite last.fm's claim to the contrary. :(

    I wish the original version would play a bit more often. As ace as this live version is, I'm just getting a bit bored of hearing it EVERY time.

    Bought the album on vinyl in high and it still gives me chills. Dolby really knows his bass lines. Plus, how many songs begin with "Friends have often asked me why ..."

    this song is haunting. I'm so impressed with his sound, he can really do anything.
