[EDIT] This is an old topic. The music is now here: http://maxine-music.com
The extended version is the original, but ended up being quite long, hence the existence of a shorter (single) edit. The single version is also at full commercial loudness, whereas the extended version is 6dB lower (and hence the sound is less damaged).
In short -
If you just want a quick taste, grab the single.
If you want the full song and care about sound quality, grab the extended version.
There's also a production diary here.

Beautiful, it's got that awesome Zero7 vibe (ver voice really reminds me of Sia Furler). The sound of the guitar breaking up sounds really cool through headphones and monitors but doesn't come across very well on laptop speakers. This is a very cool song. The drums are just amazing. I'm off to read the production diary, I'm very interested in your techniques. Thanks.

Wonderful composition. Great sonic moments throughout and the passion in her voice is chilling and sincere.
As is par, great work from you ....and her.
This is a keeper.

How did I miss this?? 
This is absolutely fantastic, especially the extended version.
The vocals are amazing and I've just read a bit of your production log about how they were done. Interesting stuff.
The whole vibe of this is A1 imo, from instrumentation to structure to vox to production...
very nicely done, thanks for sharing.

The only comment on your music I have is the one I frequently heft your way:
If you can make music like you do, why don't you make more??
Unfrickenbelievable

Quality song.
A couple of things I picked up on though vocal wise (nowt wrong with the singing thats quality). Using some manner of de-esser there, and over compressing the quiet bits? It does make it sound weird and unnatural in parts. Is it all one vocal track? If so it may be better to split it into 2 or even 3 bits with seperate kompression/de-essing/reverb etc for each bit. Some of the noise floor/breathing etc bits do come across a bit too much in the quiet bits.
