Smile At You... philosophical question

[WildHearted]

My problem with the album version has nothing to do with Stevie's voice. While it's not quite as furious as it was on the demos by any means, it still conveys the emotion convincingly enough for me to enjoy it. My problems with it lie completely in its production and instrumentation. Quite frankly it just isn't good and imo doesn't feel/jive right with the song at all. There's too much going on. The song speaks for itself and doesn't need all of the extra crap.

In other words, I completely agree with Sparky.

Also: I heard the album version before the demo. The album version still wasn't good.
