Trivia/Info
- This rough mix contains many of the same basic tracks as the final version of the song, but differs in several notable ways:
- The organ part that doubles the guitars throughout most of the final song is absent.
- The guitar tracks have a brighter tone and are mixed with significantly more reverb.
- The drum track utilizes samples from a Yamaha RX11 drum machine, instead of the Alesis HR-16 used in the final version.
- The drum patterns are slightly different; most notably in the intro and first verse, which lack snare hits on the off-beats, and in the bridge, which includes an additional kick and snare pattern.
