Leak? Are you just taking about the download from the ten club? The only leak i knew of was the shitty video
The crazy thing is, I can't even remember. Yeah, I think it was the official one, which is why I'm a bit miffed that it sounds a bit flat compared to the songs around it.

You might be right. I've been listening to it on it's own or next to Ole and Cold Confession and Let It Ride. So it's possible that it does sound flat compared to other studio efforts. But I think it sounds as good or maybe better than the best parts of Backspacer.

Nope, yep, it's the same MP3. No worries, it might improve in context of the album, it's just produced differently than the surrounding songs on my player.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
scared to rock the boat and make a mess
so I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me passed the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down but I got up,
already brushing off the dust
you hear my voice you hear that sound
like thunder gonna shake the ground
you held me down but i got up
get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, i see it now

I got the eye of the tiger the fire
dancing through the fire, 'cause I am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
louder, louder than a lion
'cause I am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
and you’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
stinging like a bee i earned the stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero


You held me down but I got up,
already brushing off the dust
you hear my voice you hear that sound
like thunder gonna shake the ground
you held me down but I got up
get ready 'cause i’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger the fire
dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
louder, louder than a lion
'cause i am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
and you’re gonna hear me roar
and you’re gonna hear me roar

roar roar roar roar roaar

I got the eye of the tiger the fire
dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
louder, louder than a lion
'cause i am a champion
and you’re gonna hear me roar
and you’re gonna hear me roar
and you’re gonna hear me roar

I gotta say i admire the amount of effort you're putting into stuff that you're not even attempting to pass off as real. Must be a real passion of yours.

I know you're upset right now, so I'll pretend you didn't say that.

The version I bought off of ITUNES is great quality, but definately quieter than at least half their catalogue. Crossing fingers for volume adjustment on CD.
