This is quite good, but somehow the version on Seven Worlds Collide just seems a bit better for some reason.

You need to be more specific. I don't watch sit-coms on TV very often, but I've never heard a song that sounded like this featured on any television program. |

You maybe right, but that doesn't mean it is not good. |

I like the live version on Seven Worlds Collide a lot better, altho I'm not sure why.

That's a delicate age. Leads to songs like "Anytime." I'm sort of in that age range (or was not too long ago) and tend to have rambling discussions with my associates regarding the impending train wreck that is aging and we spend a good deal of creative thought on how/when it would be appropriate to check out. Earth, that nourish'd thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock,
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. Thanatopsis

They remixed it by putting in some violence, but took out any conceivable reference to sex or bare breasts- |

one of Neil Finn's more straightforward songs, lyrically. I'm not crazy about the production on this song/album, but Neil really can do no wrong, musically, in my book...

If anyone uses aMule to find music, take a look for Neil Finn, Johnny Marr and Lisa Germano doing an interview on Dutch radio. They play three songs acoustically from this album.
