Just dug out my copy of the Chick's CD... they credit all three of the Chicks and Neil Finn as song writers.

Both versions are very powerful, the distortion on this version is a little annoying though.

Holy cow, those lyrics. This is clearly about Alzheimers.

I don't think I've ever heard it before but it's got me bawling like a baby.

Pretty good.  I like the distortion, too. ;-)

Perhaps the distortion is an intentional allusive technique that infers the distortion of normal mental function caused by dementia...no!?...I'm thinking too much, right?

Typically intelligent, wonderful and original. Beautifully, superbly quirky a la NZ!

In my mind the Chicks' version is better than this.

More generally, I don't know why the Chicks don't get played on RP.  They are absolutely great.

Wow, that was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes, and I don't even know anyone (living) with Alzheimer's.

I take care of an Alzheimer's patient part-time - this song is heartbreakingly true.  He's a veteran of three wars, has traveled the world over several times, raised four beautiful children and now he can't remember how to tie his shoes.  It's very hard to watch, but I bet it's even harder to live.

I think it is actually better. Needs time tho.

This was the song that Lexie talked about, drawing attention to the lyrics.. singing about someone with Alzheimers/dementia

gets me by the jugular.

somehow the sound quality seems pretty poor.. let me go check against the original..

hmm.. that distortion is there in the original too but feels a bit, well, cleaner.
