some of you may think that it's selfish of me to not share the album, and you may be right.
No, they'd be wrong; when management/the record company *knows* you have a pre-release promo, and has insisted that you not share, publically breaking that trust is foolish at best.
but, if i did / do, then i would never get anything out of the management again, which would also mean that some of you would suffer from the regular information supply drying up...

I can understand the mixed reaction to this track, but I'm firmly in the "I like it" camp.
