Interestingly this song is 6:00 long on iTunes and this version only 5:26 without any fadeout.  Must be a radio edit or an error in iTunes.  Hopefully the former!

My guess would be a longer intro before the drums kick in.

This song could have been written by David, sounds like a Bob Dylan song.
If I realised that the chances were slim,
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

I havent listened to the file you're talking about

my file is 6:01 long
the drum kicks in at 00:29 and stopes at 5:36, while the sound continues like in the intro, but fades out

This song too is really nice. Lots of positive energy. One thing that irritates me is the organ sound - I believe Guy used it on Beryl too.

Yes but try to live with it. It's not worth spoiling the fun.

Will wait for the live version of this song and hopefully mister Fletcher would be kind enough to switch off his organ for once. You can't believe how much I'm disappointed with this arrangement. The song is so great and here goes this pack of continental mosquitoes to have an intercourse with your ears. I won't write about this anymore, but I just had to say it.

A proper Hammond with the Leslie should've done a better job yes.

Why two random guys from Russia and Sweden understand that and veteran musicians with their own studio and 50+ years of playing don't?
You’ve made your point, you hate the organ, we get it. Making music, being creative and producing stuff is a magical process, saying that these guys don’t ‘understand’ your organ point of view is nonsense, besides that they really don’t care what you think and they shouldn’t. BIA has a lot of aweful sounds yet it sold quite well. They liked it, they thought it was right ao they kept the organ in the mix. MK has lots of songs with proper Hammond parts, listen to those if you don’t like this one.

Slow down, TheTimeWasWrong, I get your point, too. I hate when people tell me that Mark don't care about something, as if I don't know.

I rarely rely (that's a cool phrase, isn't it?) on subjective viewpoint, I keep things objective. Organ part is objectively annoying.

Brothers In Arms uses the actual technology of the 80s and is now considered old school. It doesn't mean that it's awful.

I asked about 10 people what they think about the organ part in this song and every. single. one of them agreed that it's annoying.
I know I'm annoying, too, so let's just continue discussing the song. And nobody in their right mind can call it not annoying anyway.

@quizzaciously - Hey, man. You started your own thread to display your hatred for the new songs. I respect your opinion, but do you have to repeat yourself in every single thread? You sound like a victim, like someone who's suffered great injustice. It's an album, man.
