My favorite line: "But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time.....but he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying exactly the same." SO good.
I too prefer the Brion sessions, but note that this song, along with "Waltz", were used "as is" in the album, and were actually not changed, except for maybe different mastering.
Hi! I only know this album version - the unreleased. Where can I find the released? I heard the unreleased is better, but I want to hear both versions :) Thank you
You know every time people talk about this album, it annoys me because it's ignorant. The only song on the album that wasn't touched and is the same as the original is this song. There is no difference, nothing in this song was changed, she might have sung it differently, but hale it's the SAME
I just played both versions. This and the released version. And guess what? They're both the same except for the subtle nuances in her voice. The released one sounds more clear and this version sounds more demo-ish. I like both versions. I think a lot of folks just like this version 'cuz they think it's different 'cuz it's unreleased. I just played and listen to them both side by side and pausing them every couple seconds. The music that's composed is the exact same.
I hope the producers that changed the original version of the album read all these coments. everybody likes the unreleased version more. its a prove that the artist have to have criativity freedom...
what a shame, now to listen to the original we have to seek it in the net!
@Jess2267 This was the leaked version of EM. It came out about a year before the official release. It's popularity prompted Fiona to finish the album.
@spiddia Than you for putting Fiona's song "Parting Gift" in your comment, if it wasnt for you I wouldnt have known that song. I just heard it & I LOVE it. So thanx;)
Just discovered a new wonderful singer, a new woderful music (though knew her name for long)
Life is good to me...

At "I need to prove" it sounds like she says "I need to poop".

Hey spiddia, there are unreleased versions of all the songs in the album?
HappyHitokiri 2 years ago
I have all the unreleased versions of the album's songs.
I believe Parting Gift is the only one without an unreleased version (that's because it was made when the official version was being recorded).
