I'd like to be shown how to enjoy this song, actually, since it's clearly a fan favorite.

I can see your point. It does go on and on. I think the appeal for me is how all those layers of instrumentation and voices subtly build. It took me many years to really appreciate those qualities on several of the
Tusk songs. "Storms" and Over And Over" are other good examples of this.
Tango In The Night is the album I have trouble understanding. Don't get me wrong. There are some great moments but to my ears, much of it sounds too artificial and stitched together. I think
Mirage sounds better production wise but the songs just aren't as interesting.
Mirage does actually sound like a band playing together and I don't hear that so much with
TITN. I really have tried to love it. If anyone can help me understand the appeal, please feel free to try.
