    General Comment:This song is perfect without words, and probably would be perfect with them. The rise and swell of the melody, the emotion in it...Bloody amazing.

    General Comment:This song is just f***ing euphoric. Maybe the best he ever did, and I sort of think it's good that it's unfinished, because it will always maintain that sense of mystery, and therefore, never get old.
    By the way, this is NOT the alternate version of "Suicide Machine" That would be a song called "Tiny Time Machine" (and it's out there- cause I have it!) Still though, it kills me wondering what the lyrics to "See You In Heaven" were, or would have been, or if they're out there somewhere, maybe on tape.....sigh. I love that man.

    General Comment:It's almost heartbreaking to hear this, because it's so freaking gorgeous, and I can just imagine how amazing it would have been with vocals. Then again, it almost feels like it doesn't need them...it's breathtaking enough on its own. I guess that's no surprise, coming from Elliott.

    General Comment:Rumor has it that this is an alternate version of "Suicide Machine", one of the songs that Elliott's family chose to remove from the Basement tracklist before it was released.
