    actually Amongst The Waves was cool, but the last two times they played it Eddie ruined the song by switching the lyrics in the second half of the song from a Soul That Has Been Saved To I put away my early grave, because there were great versions at Amsterdam, Stockhom and DeLuna, but the way they are playing the song now, I could care less if they ever play it again, Eddie ruined the song with the lyrics change, Santiago and Philly 2 are the two worst versions I have heard, and if this is the version they are going to play, I say why even bother Ed, if you are going to deliver an inferior version, please play a different song bro

    You know he says both in the song, right? It's possible he just messed up the words, like he does quite often.

    Here are the lyrics

    What used to be a house of cards
    Has turned into a reservoir
    Save the tears that were waterfalling
    Let's go swim tonight, darling

    And once outside the undertow
    Just you and me, and nothing more
    If not for love, I would be drowning
    I've seen it work both ways

    But I am up riding high amongst the waves

    Where I can feel like I
    Have a soul that has been saved
    Where I can feel like I've
    Put away my early grave

    I gotta say it now
    Better loud than too late

    Remember back, the early days
    When you were young, and less amazed
    Suddenly the channel changed
    The first time you saw blood

    Cut to later, now you're strong
    You've bled yourself, the wounds are gone
    It's rare when there is nothing wrong
    Survived and you're amongst the fittest

    Love ain't love until you feel it
    Up riding high amongst the waves

    I can feel like I
    Have a soul that has been saved
    I can see the light
    Coming through the clouds in rays

    I gotta say it now
    Better loud than too late
    I gotta say it now
    Better loud than too late

    Hey...yeah...

    Riding high amongst the waves
    I can feel like I
    Have a soul that has been saved
    I can see the light
    Coming through the clouds in rays

    I gotta say it now
    Better loud than too late

    I gotta say it now
    Better loud than too late

    Say it now
    Better loud than too late

    He says both. So if he switched the lines up; that's fine. But he didn't change the line in the song or the meaning... Did this occur to you?

    no but it messes up the flow when he sings I can Feel Like I have a soul that has been saved, not only are those the lyrics the fans are use to singing along to when Eddie sings it his voice really hits that sweet spot, when he changes it to I can feel like I have put away my early grave, in addition to throwing the fans off, Eddie's voice doesn't hit that same sweet spot and it really kills the flow of the song, certainly it is his song and he can do what he wants to it, it just has lost it's flow it had

    well when everybody is singing one thing and he sings something different it breaks the momentum and connection, becuase the fans stop singing, especially since that is the build up point in the chorus, yeah it kills the song for me, it would be sort of like if he switch gems and rhinestones in UK, same difference and yeah it does kill the song

    :nono: I think that discussing anything someone gives a shit about is way better than saying something someone gives a shit about isn't worth discussing.
