Conflicted about All The Beautiful Worlds

For me, the old version lives from this very special "Wild Heart-vibe", that certain something that was in her voice during this time (and never before and never again).
No matter how good she'll be singing on the new version, it won't be like that.

Maybe they should have changed the song drastically, make it something really different, that might work. But the snippet doesn't sound like they did. We'll see, maybe I'm wrong and it's gonne be great.

The original version should be featured as one of the bonus tracks on the reissue of Wild Heart ( assuming her early solo albums will be rehabbed and expanded someday). All is not lost!

However, I'm sure I will appreciate the new version as well.
