Both versions are really excellent and are very soundtrack-like, but despite the song being lyrically excellent, I actually prefer the Real Tracks instrumental. I'd have liked to have heard that with vocals.
PS: great title, too!

Both versions have a LOT to like so we prefer not to try and choose. smile

The live version is masterful and the BiaB version well demonstrates the excellence of BiaB in talented hands.
Fine vocals too.

The arrangements of both are excellent and the mix is top level pro all the way.
Your reliable friends are outstanding!

Shigeki,

Your music talent is on such a high plateau. It is always professional in every aspect.

This is a lively, well-constructed and performed tune. First class all the way. That was a wonderful listen.

Wishing you the very best.

Alan

Such a beautiful composition with a soothing melody. The opening bars are an enticement to the ears. I don't need to understand the lyrics to enjoy the performance. I listened to the live version. I didn't have time to listen the the BIAB version, but I prefer your live versions anyway.
