Man, where's the thread on this one???

The Acoustic version BLOWS the studio version away.......From the GO Single. Subtle change in a lyric or two, and Ed's voice sounds so much more powerful this way.



i seem to recognize your face
haunting familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place...i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
i swear i recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
of course you can't see me for i'm not my former
it's hard when your stuck upon the shelf
i change by not changing at all...small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream...hello
my god its been so long...never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are...and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade

    Here, here! I love the acoustics! Hearing PJ acoustics, and all of their other songs for that matter, is what made want to begin playing guitar (which I now do). I love when he counts into the song live... it just gives it an extra something.

    My favorite version is Nashville 2003. When Ed sang, "I just wanna scream, 'Hello'," everyone, of course sang Hello back to him. He saw the crowd and said, "Jesus Christ!" I loved it when i was there and I still get chills hearing it now.
