This is the only known version. It begins with a mellow pulsing synth bass line, and is joined by a simple plucked banjo string riff. Filtered drums enter, followed by a hollow-sounding drone. The song transitions to the B-section, in which a new synth bassline plays. Layered banjos form chords, and a different simple banjo riff is played with a two-note piano accent. The A and B sections alternate twice. New sounds play during the second B-section, including a dissonant drone, light electric guitar layers, plucked piano strings, timpanis, and an electric guitar riff. Filtered drums play alone for a few seconds to end the song.
