Deej: my Mum, my harshest and kindest critic, both in one, agrees with you completely in thinking that the other version is the better one

I think that both versions have their own qualities and faults. I honestly like them both! I love the driving rhythm in the first one, but (as someone said to me) it can sound a little like riding cowboys, haha. On the other hand, as my Mum pointed out, this acoustic version can sound a little "drained of energy". Argh

I'll let them both out in the public eye (and ear), and see what happens

Thank you so much for listening and for taking time to comment!
