I think that's a cool unexpected shift that I don't think O'Brien would have allowed if he was the producer.
yes, I love that, it sounds very No Code / "Who You Are" to me

this song is great, and while the treatment is more theatrical than I expected, it's perfectly fitting on this album

Anyone have the lyrics to the original Ed version?

I was blown away by the original a few years ago when I heard it for the first time at an Ed show. I think both are great in their own way. Much like sleeping by myself
