the album version is a bit too techno sounding to me.. I like the piano version. I was inspired to post this thread initially after atsonicpark's comment about everlong and then I was watching Sarah McLaughlin Austin City Limits on tv a few minutes ago.. I was thinking damn that woman is fine, she must be going on or in her forties ?!

posting this thread has taken me so far down a nostalgia trip.. like Ziggy said "Joy and Blues"

these are the kinds of songs which can evoke in me a mutual feeling of both intense joy and overwhelming sadness.. quite a weird blend. I guess that is theme of this thread, songs that are both joyful and saddening at the same time for whatever reasons, the lyrics, the music, the time in your life you listened to it or all of the above..

I totally get what you mean about feeling both those emotions at the same time and I love songs like that. As for the song version, I usually hate techno.... soo much.. but I like the way it sounds with her voice. And yeah, she's hot as hell, especially when she was younger. Although hot might not be the right word.. beautiful I guess.
