I'm not saying it's better than the original or anything, but I'm saying that it has the alienated tone of someone who really is never going back.

Lindsey sings it a different way. In fact, he defines the song (as finding joy in love after thinking you never would again) in a manner that is exactly the opposite of what I think the song is about on its own. So, when he sings it he interprets it one way and Matchbox's version is on the other side of the spectrum. I really enjoy the different approach they bring to it. But I admit that I like Rob Thomas' voice anyway. So, he can draw me in rather easily.

That one is my favorite tune too. I liked how they blended it with "The Chain" at the end. That piano solo rocks! I mean, is there a BAD Matchbox Twenty song?
