Why oh why did they dump this version from the album? With the subtle synth backgrounds it's a hell of a lot more cohesive with the rest of the album (I burned a version replacing the stripped-down rendition), sounding more like a proper closer rather than a bonus b-side track. The synthesized sounds lend it a very dreamy air, instead of the somewhat flat attempt at a folk sound on the album track.

It's not going to change your mind if you already loathe the track, especially for those not fond of Dawn Zee's "warbling". It's definitely not one of my favorite songs but I'll dare to say I like this take on it.

I guess it's a question of taste. Personally I like the one on the album. Rounds it off quite nicely for me.:thumb:

Interesting how so few simple changes alter the mood of the track - from simple guitar ballad to almost a techno chill-out. The bass and melodica are the same on both versions, and they are the best parts for me.

It's definatley one of my favourite songs of all time, although I'd admit that this has as much to do with associations the track has for me as actual technical merit.

Love both versions, glad to have them!

Osbournes better - more depth.

I enjoy the fade in on the Osbourne original, as it works well with the album, but I like the finality of the album version.

I prefer Osborne's mix any day. Barney's mix is a bit dull and lacks the ambience of Osborne's original effort.

My Get Ready iPod playlist replaces the album version with the SO mix and I have to say it improves the overall flow of the LP IMO. Bad call by the band there, they should've left Osborne's version in. If a producer had taken an otherwise bland acoustic strum by a band of mine and turned it into that I would've been dead chuffed.
