Contents
The original acoustic version of this song can be found on Branch's debut album Broken Bracelet. The song was re-recorded and included on The Spirit Room, then for the radio and commercial release of the single Branch re-recorded vocals and wrote a new instrumental arrangement. The "radio edit" was more up-tempo, versus the album versions which are more the style of a ballad.
