Dan,

I listened to the first verse and chorus of the Tyros version and then dove into the BIAB take. Interesting that it's the same vocal track because as you note the backing really changes the tone. The vocals by the way are absolutely lovely, particularly on that chorus. Of the two versions, I prefer the BIAB version, simply because the beat gives it a more uptempo, joyous feel that I think is more fitting to the tune. Really well done piece!

As I look at Floyd's comments, "more life" is probably the apt descriptor between the two. Not sure I picked up on the impact of the reverb, but as Floyd noted, I wasn't looking for it, so not notable to my lesser ears.

Excellent work!
