That version of BE is 100% perfect in all its plush glory.I am very glad they gave us both versions to enjoy. The reason everyone is saying this new one should have made the cut is because it is beautiful and we have all missed Christine so greatly. But when the newness wears off I'm sure most will remember the original version as the definitive version.

This is quite possible. Lyrically and sonically, the album version is fantastic. However, what I love about this new old version is the way Christine's voice shines in its unaltered, non-double-tracked state. I don't think my enthusiasm for that, or Green's guitar fills, will wane with time.
