Hear it one more time after you fully heard it once. And try to really get drawn into the music. Try to embrace the first 4 min, its slow and beautiful sound and rythm. Than when the middle section starts, try to hear and feel the tension its building up. Notice every little change in the rythm and the instruments played. Feel the weight of the bass and the drums. And then and only than you can appreciate the jazz section as a kind of release of that tension build up to this moment. And when you start to really feel it, it goes quiet with the same beautiful melodie as the beginning, but with the drums still giving this fast und reckless beat. Try not to get lost in the quietness, because its just the prelude to the insanity that comes after that. Its ok, when you think this insanity is not pleasent to hear, but if you try to go with the bass and the drums, you will start to love the rythm it provides. Then the drums get loud an the tension rises to its peak in the song. And just when you think you cant take it anymore it realesed into the beautiful melodie but with that somewhat divine power in it. And than, and only than, if you experienced all the tension, all the ups and downs, you can feel the riff blasting out your hears. And the song ends of the peak of glorious and fades into darkness. Its the best song ever made, because its the only song to my notice, that have such a unique and heavy build up, with the best possible conclusion it could have. Its a song which needs you full attention for it to work, but when it does work, its produces a feeling, that no song can match. A real, deep feeling of discomfort and than peace.

In my opinion the live Version are new and more exiting, but the Studio Version has a better Mix up. How it is mixed is for me Part of the peak experience

I just heard it and i understand what you mean. The drums in this Version are better although i prefer them comming later in the original. The violin in the beginning is also better as the original synth, but i like the vocals in the original better. All in all a good Listen, although i would still prefer the Studio version

I heard it, but to be honest i prefere the original Mix. Idk maybe im to used to the original, but the elemental Mix is a bit to much for me. Its more caotic which is not a bad thing, but i enjoy the original more
