Paper Moon with 3rd chorus + guitar solo inside final chorus

Post by RileyLewis »

For my own entertainment I edited Paper Moon to include a 3rd chorus as well as put some of the guitar work into that chorus. I like the original (strongest track on Burn Burn), but I think this makes it basically perfect. Here's a link to the youtube video/song. Not sure if I posted this here before:

If you want to just hear the changes, maybe start at around 2:30 or so until the end.

Let me know what you think.

Sorry, I prefer the original. This is too long-winded. The brevity of the original is part of what makes it beautiful.

A matter of taste, I guess. My favourite songs are all 4-8 minutes long. I usually hate it when songs are 2-3 minutes, it feels like such a waste without any build up or climax. It's why Naveed is one of my favourite OLP songs.

I always wanted a third chorus in paper moon as we'll, but I think I prefer the original now that I hear it. Your edit sounds cool too though and it's cool too actually hear what it could have sounded like

That's an interesting take on the song. I like extending it, but for me the extension in Paper Moon would come best in the middle of the song (see Paper Moon/The Odyssey). Cool edit.
