I am definitely dating myself with this: I remember one of the first overly simplistic standards by which I judged whether a radio station was "good" or "bad" was whether it played the full length version of the Doors "Light My Fire," or the butchered shorter version of it. {#Grumpy}

As I have said before, this cut version of the song is an 8, while the full-length version is a 10.

On the other hand, major points are awarded to Radio Paradise for being the station that introduced me to this song in the first place. {#Meditate}

I hope old Mike Stipe is going to be open to some more of this sort of collaboration now.  So many good things have come from that in the past.  I particularly love Your Ghost with Kristen Hersh and I'll give you my skin with the Indigo Girls.

Music is, to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.

LOVE this album and this is my favorite song from the whole album. Asha Bhosle is simply divine and the full length version of this song is much better. In fact, I'm going to go listen to it right now as I have it on my phone and I don't need to hear "Long Time Gone" again which is playing now.

Here are some of the lyrics from the full length version of this song that are missing from this version. The longer version features Asha Bhosle more prominently than this severely cut version, and also features an unknown sadhu at the beginning, speaking a couple of lines. The full length version is in the library, but it has a 6.6 approval rating, compared to this version's 6.7.
 

Spoken word:
Only Silence remains because I have to listen to him,
I have to listen to the silence. I have to experience him.

(Asha Bhosle)
karmany evaadhikaraste ma phalesu kadacana
ma karma phala hetur bhur ma te sango'stv akarmani
paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam
dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge

(translation:)
You have Adhikara (ability, choice) over your respective duty only,
but no control or claim over the results.
The fruits of work should not be your motive.
You should never be inactive.
Whenever there is a decline of Dharma (world order) and the rise of
Adharma,
O Arjuna, then I appear (or manifest myself).
I appear from time to time for protecting the good,
for transforming the wicked, and for establishing Dharma, the world order.

-Thank you for your time.

The uncut original is a 10, and it isn't that long! OK, so the Hindi lyrics take a bit of research to find a translation, but it's worthwhile.
This chopped up mess is still an 8.  But it's a shame.

Es la primera vez que escucho este tema y me parece realmente interesante. Aunque en apariencia la voz de la mujer parece irrumpir, es tan suave y melodica como la del Americano que la acompaña. Además la percución es hermosa.

Gracias.

Thanks RP... LOVE this CD, bought the CD and the DVD... what a great song.  I think you have to have a more adventurous spirit to get this... no offense to those who don't like it, I think it's an acquired taste.

Asha Bhosle<1> (Marathi: आशा भोंसले) (born September 8, 1933) آشا بھونسلے is an Indian singer. She is best known as a Bollywood playback singer, although she has a much wider repertoire. Her career started in 1943 and has spanned over six decades. She has done playback singing for over 950 Bollywood movies<2> and sold many records.<3> She is the sister of the equally accomplished Lata Mangeshkar.

Bhosle is considered one of the most versatile South Asian singers — her range of songs includes film music, pop, ghazals, bhajans, traditional Indian Classical music, folk songs, qawwalis, Rabindra Sangeets and Nazrul Geetis. She has sung in over 14 languages including Hindi, Urdu, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, English, Russian, Czech, Nepali, Malay and Malayalam.

Asha Bhosle is believed to have sung over 12,000 songs. Though her sister, Lata Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records during 1974-1991, for having sung the most songs in the world, reputed sources have introduced concerns to its veracity, claiming that the Guinness counts were exaggerated and Bhosle has recorded more songs than Mangeshkar. Bhosle herself pointed out that she has made the most recordings by any singer - 12,000.<4>



 
Thanks for the information.  Indian music is underlooked by so many (so called) music lovers in the US.  I love the infectious grooves.
