Can I Stay Here? (Instrumental)
This is the only available version. Released exclusively through Apple Music and on The Fragile: Deviations 1. It begins with a slinky, found-sound percussion track, over which various other instruments come in and out, including an extreme fuzz guitar, upright bass, and a spacey-sounding synth. There are two sections (presumably choruses) where the melody and instrumentation take on a more straightforward and propulsive sound. The overall feel is reminiscent of post-1980s Tom Waits.
