both versions are awesome yes in some senses the acoustic has better qualities but this one is pretty damn good too either way you put it your saying that go radio is an amazing band!!!!
I also like this version better. I think Jason's voice alone is powerful enough to carry the song with emotion. Honestly, I don't think Erin's voice is that great but I still think the other version is very sweet.
Every time I hear this i think of my cousin. He had three daughters and a son, and was the best father possible. He got rid of everything, including his life insurance, to send his oldest daughter to therapy for depression. He died three years ago unexpectedly of a heart attack at his youngest daughter's fifth birthday party. He and his kids were best friends, and he has to miss all of their lives. I love and miss you Johnny. Rest in peace.
They are both amazing versions and they both have so much emotion put into them. I think that the original version just has more raw emotions that they weren't able to tap back into when recording this version. Also, the full band takes away from the emotions in his voice in this song as in the last where it was just a piano. They are both great songs sung by amazing people.
@fr0stybud and @LedZeppelin02345 I was inspired, by your comments, to remix the two versions together. I just posted a video of it. Click my channel name and you can listen to it! Everyone Thumbs Up this comment so everyone can listen to it!
@fr0stybud ur soooooo right, except this version is a little faster so i keep having to pause it for half a second so the other one keeps up lol. but it would sound sooooo good if they combined the two versions!
OMG this band is so talented, I'm addicted to them. The whole ablum is amazing and everything they have done is amazing, true musical genius. Spread the word of Go Radio, TELL EVERYONE. :)
you can really tell that the band have stepped it up a notch with instrumental talents and the use of entirely real instruments and no MIDI devices its just give the entire album and amazing feel and show what amazing musicians all of these guys really are
@MrATokeley or its that they rushed their first EP in which "forever my father" was on (btw, the EP is "welcome to life"), which is exactly what happened. it has nothing to do with their talents, they just rushed out a CD instead of making it sound great. i know everything there is to know about jason lancaster, go radio, and their counterpart (with derick sanders). go radio are a bunch of great guys, met them all. jason lancaster is my idol, and i was speechless when i met him, i almost cried
@mhrunner5 well all im gona say is that i love this entire album so so much its amazing and yeah i know it was rushed you can tell but at the same time they still did an amazing job and yeah jason lancaster is just the one guy i wish i could be i mean best voice like EVER and just generally an awsome guy :) i would love to meet him
I'd have to say this version has more of a mainstream feel to it, but the first version showed the true raw emotion and power, this version is good... But it definitely doesn't top the first.
the first version was WAY better bc you could tell there was emotion behind i dont feel the emotion in this one its still a great song but the first version made me cry, this one didnt.
This version just isn't the same... The first one was so amazing. Sure, the first one had imperfections, but that's what made is so perfect. You could feel their emotion, their pain. It is one of the best songs ever written. This doesn't even come close..
@RobertW12321 I have to agree with you completely. I feel like emotion is completely drained in this version. And there aren't harmonies like in the first version. Just not the same. :(
@RobertW12321 How could it?? Forever My Father was written the day of the viewing. That emotion could never ever be matched! Jason said himself... the old version had the feeling of pain etched in so deeply and so true. This version is more of a rememberance of his father. :)

I have a couple of Go Radio covers on my channel that everyone should check out.

They're both very refreshing to listen to, I think. To switch back and forth you don't get sick of the song.
