The way he performs What Makes You Think You're The One lets you hear the indignance. Also, when his voice goes from hard and high to low and softer, I feel the vulnerability in words like dying and crying more, because of the downward swoop, than I would if his phrasing had been more even. I mean, it says to me, "what makes you think you're the one who can laugh without crying, because I can't."

Why do you think you can go through this without pain, when I can't?

hear hear. that cover version took the passion, the feeling away from it. i like that i can tell the strain Lindsey has at some points. it's not supposed to be a pretty soaring song, it's my favourite to put on when i'm angry. interesting cover of it though, i would like it if i wasn't stuck on the original.
