Sounds like a nice little song, but you can hear, even from the snippet, why it wasn't included in the album. Just too harmless, I guess. What I found intriguing, though, was the combination of pedal steel and celtic instruments - I don't think Mark ever did that before, or anybody else, actually. A true innovation, if you will.
And regarding the extra songs in general, how they are being sold: This is pure tactics, a dying industry desperately trying to milk loyal hardcore fans as much as they can. I don't feel obliged to play that game. I've ordered the deluxe set because I like the art work and I want the extra songs, but any song I won't get with that set - and that I can't buy separately – I'll just download for free (I don't have to tell you where). I'd be more than happy to pay for every song I want, but if they don't give you that option – well, f*** them. Let us not be fooled.
