What this YouTuber says about the intro to Dreams (velvety, analog catnip) made me think about Over & Over as well.

Alas it is not. It's just this old fool fan acting peculiarly and sharing the results of his thought experiment.

my comment wasn't meant to be disrespectful.

It was just to say that we've never gotten to hear the supposed original, slower version that she may have created, and what that might have sounded like remains an open question.

Personally I still have doubts about it really having been slow at all.

The mp3 doesn't even seem to be available anymore. (It says the owner deleted it, though I didn't..) Hope those who caught it enjoyed it
