I have to admit, I like Hey Now more than this version. Yes now it's a little clearer, the pain, but the others songs atmosphere is just better from the start until the end. Even though this version is great as well.
I love both versions equally, It is one of those songs, to me, that is better with my mood. If I'm in more of a happy, I guess, kind of mood "Hey Now" sounds better, but if I'm in a mood where I need to here a song like this, this is better. That's just my opinion on the songs, if you agree with me, cool, yet if you don't agree that's fine too, more power to ya, just how I feel about it.
No matter how they sing it, I love the song no matter what. I do feel that this version of the song is more raw. Which is a good thing to see. It shows that their music comes from somewhere deep and full of meaning.
don't be so quick to lay blame on the label, while the label did want the song to be slicker and more radio geared sonically, they never asked Daniel to change the lyrics, he did that on his own simply because he wasn't happy with them. Mike (who produced Can't Love, Can't Hurt) apparently begged him to use these lyrics but he refused.
this is weird, it has the same meaning as hey now, and it a lot of the same lyrics, but I like hey now better, I think its put together a little better.
wow much better than hey now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Now is good, but the melody on the chorus and the acustic guitar solo make me prefer this version.

definitely like the more guitar-centric sound of this over the synth violins they use on hey now

@kisscatastrophe I think if he wasn't pleased with the lyrics that's one thing, but musically, "Hey Now" is just not nearly as powerful.

hey now is like a great song and the mood is like good when you are just chilling at like 3 am
this one is way better when its like 7pm because its more up tempo
they lyrics are sweet in both, they are so similar, yet they have a way different meaning and effect on me
