Originally, the song was called &#8216;I\/0&#8217; but I changed the title after I saw that Peter Gabriel released an album in 2023 with that title.<br><br>As this is meant to the the lead-off single for Slash, I have a number of versions on the go right now, each slightly different. The &#8216;original&#8217; version begins with the vocal section, and the second half of the song changes from minor to its relative major is an electro-orchestral arrangement that takes you to the end of the song. This will likely be considered the &#8216;extended version&#8217;. For the album version, I intend to flip the sections, so that the album opens with an alternate arrangement of the electro-orchestral section, and then lead into the vocal section which in turn will mesh seamlessly into the following song on the album. A &#8216;single&#8217; version \u2014 just the vocal part \u2014 is also in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lock\">Lock 8600<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plantain<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The original chiptune which was created sometime in 2020.
