Happened to Higher and happened to OYE. It'll happen to Broken Wings and ILM if that song is released as a single. I wish they would play the full version of the song, but they probably won't......although I have heard the full version of OYE a few times on one of the local stations....so there's hope.

I remember reading in my music industry book that songs over like 4:11 or something the artists get charged for every second or something, can't remember exactly, so thats why most are cut down to under a certain time... i read this a long time ago so thats my 2 cents
