No offense, guys, I think you’re amazing, but I wonder why you’ve changed this song a bit since the homecoming show in the Disney Concert Hall. I think that performance was much more powerful than this Bombastic take. I love them both, of course, but I’m hoping the record will contain a version more like the one from the L.A. concert when it’s released.
Thanks for what you guys are doing.

I disagree with you Tim. This version is much more frantic which I think captures the feeling of this character who is desparately trying to “make things right” with his wife but knows it’s probably too late. Mikel tells a story with each of his songs and this is a very sad and intense story that will most likely have a bad ending. I love it.
I love this version. The emotion is intense!! I agree with Jeff.
Does anybody know if they’ll be releasing an MP3 version of this? I love this string version much more than the one on the album.
