Josie, Bob,

A really beautiful song. Always was.

I still have a problem with Bob’s vocals and that, unfortunately is my overwhelming impression of this track.

Josie is just great. very expressive and sincere.

Guitars sound a bit tinny to me.
That said, clearly a lot of work has gone into those guitar parts to get them to sound just so.

The ending here is not the best, but I love the intro!

I also get the feeling there is a timing problem in the verses. It’s as if there is no consistent beat underpinning both the vox and the backing track.

For information, many regard the finest version to be not the rather MOR Rod Stewart cover, but the ETBG version that you will find on their album, Idelwild (which by the way is heartily recommended)

Finally, and without wishing to be a killjoy, isn’t this post in breach of forum rule #8?
