"Undone"
I just found a full version of Undone on Haley's Tumblr page. You have to scroll down a bit but then you'll see it posted by "Tempotantrum."

All I can say is... wow! If you've heard the previews like I have, you have NOT heard the best parts of this song. It's breathtaking. There's a very quiet section that builds into a crescendo and it's just perfect. Number One Hit. You heard it here first. :-)

the comments from mytempotantrum who posted the full version of 'Undone':
"...i’ve gotta say: the album is so fucking good! it has a very old-school, laid back vibe to it that i love. well, except for this track, which reduces me to puddle status every single time. this is definitely the stand out track on the album. such a beautiful song, and the production is raw and simple, which serves the song so well. this is one of the most masterful, mature sounding tracks i’ve heard on an Idol alum debut in a long time, if not ever. stunning."
Right on Mr. Bill.
All I can say it's stunning and takes your breath away...there are so many great songs on this album! At times I think my view of things is distorted through my Haleyenized sunglasses. There has to be others that see and hear the quality of this artist besides Haliens. It's time to unleash The Slayer, for all the world to hear.

RE: "Undone"
Didn't want to listen before the album arrived, but I caved! Initial impressions: Overall, very "Adelesque" in arrangement and subject matter, so it has potential as a single. Definitely like it better in full format than the 90 second preview, especially the breakdown featuring Haley's gorgeous voice and phrasing with minimum instrumentation. Loved the mini-growl, too. However, I found the heavy use of synth strings tacky, and the dramatic crescendo seemed a bit formulaic and indulgent.
So far, I've heard four full length tracks off the album: Free, Wonderland, Oh My! and Undone. Of those, my favorite by a wide margin is Free.

RE: "Undone"
The Interscope soundcloud samples of the album show views and Oh My! is easily in the lead with Undone in second. I have to agree with Mr. Bill that full version is absolutely awesome. It would be perfect to do at AI finale. I think it is her first enduring ballad of her career.

RE: "Undone"
I'm so glad other people agree... and it's funny because I also worry that I am seeing this through "Halienized Sunglasses," but I simply can't imagine that this album won't get stellar reviews. It's too interesting not to, and it will surely be compared to a lot of very lazy, sound-alike AI-alum debuts.
