They could have done a proper full band version of this song.. as is, for me it's the worst closer on a PJ album (and actually should be on a solo album by Eddie).. That piano is just horrible.

Well, it's grown on me a lot, dammit. The things I hated at first don't seem half as bad now. At this point, what's annoying me is still that unnecssary gap between the last guitar chord and the first keyboard chord of the outro. Just go straight in, BoB. It sounds like you accidentally came in late, which is also exactly how it sounded at Wrigley.

I don't mind this song with the version hlniv made - chopping off the piano intro and outtro.

I hope it's just a patient with a mental illness playing the intro on his keyboard all day long.

:lol: Nice.

Also guys, PJ songs have been used on TV shows before. If they're going to use one, they may as well use a schlock ballad and not MFS.

We've got a new patient. He's repeating: "I was going to be the sixth member. How could they decide to self-produce their next album?" and then plays his casio for hours. It's always the same melody.

He has a volume knob on his casio and will make sure that both fade away at the exact same time.

It will be nothing but the future days intro tagged onto songs. You will be in the credits for the idea.
