My daughter and I were at the end of a 58 hr road trip when this song came on I felt like I was 15 again. What a great song/ album/ singer. So sad about his son, rip
Another night slips away In other words I should say There are no words he should say There are no words In his eyes I see the fear That only time could disappear If only time could re-appear Now's the time Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it The butterflies are passive aggressive And put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful He'll realize the only thing that's real Are the kids that kid themselves And the demise of the beautiful What is beautiful? The multi-life is better than The one we're in the one we knew Cause everyone is seein' through everyone They're steppin' on His gold terrain He's movin' on with bold refrain His blatantly old campaign Is movin' on Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it The butterflies are passive aggressive And put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful He'll realize the only thing that's real Are the kids that kid themselves And the demise of the beautiful What is beautiful? What can't stay goes away It starts stopping when it stops stopping
Loved this song since it came out on the album (bought after seeing them open for dmb.) I knew right away this was a different version. Surprised the album version wasn't the top search on youtube. I was just trying to get my friends, who might not have heard this yet, to check it out. Didn't expect to find a new version of the song, much less as the top video. This version is awesome. Don't know where you got it but cheers, James.
If you read the conversations below, this version was released on the first version of the album. Think it was remixed for subsequent versions (or something like that as the other versions don't sound like this one. This was taken straight from my CD copy. Glad to you enjoyed it.
@@jamesmccaig4999 Thanks for the explanation. Not sure on protocol or how this whole youtube forum works but my latest killer is this ruclips.net/video/8rWeSD2ZOY4/видео.html
I’m so thankful for me upbringing cause my older sisters had me listening to this and other greats, while all the other kids were listening to garbage.
This version was taken from the CD i bought upon the album release waaaaay back in 2002 and sounds different to more recent issues i've heard. Piano more prominent in this version and i think its sounds much much better for it. Haven't heard any other versions but, IMO, this is the original and best released version.
you're right. i have the cd also hahaha. this is for sure the original version. In E minor. a lot of versions came up after in D minor. 1 tone down for he can sing more comfortably. and besides, the original starts playing a preparation in B before going to E minor, like this one!
Is this the album version raised a whole step or another version? Because I heard this version first years ago and now when I hear the album version I don't like it because it's lower....so if you're gonna post songs on RUclips do it in a way that keeps it in the key it's suppose to be in or don't do it because otherwise you're gonna ruin songs for certain people.
As discussed previously, thos was the original version from a first pressing/release of the album. I picked up the album as it was released and was the only version i knew until i heard a later version which was obviously different. I think this version is better and will be, in my opinion, the best version, hence why i uploaded it. If its not YOUR favourite then thats fine, dont listen to it and enjoy your own version. Nobody is trying to ruin anyones perceptions of what is a great BK song.
This actually isn't the original, I know where you are coming from, i listened to the original, 20 years ago, as a teenager and this sounds like it, but the drums mid song and even the background at the very end were not in the original. I pulled out the original cd, from his concert, and listened to it to verify. This is like 99% of the original, but not it. I'll upload the original to RUclips and see if they take it down.
BLUE BLOODS TV SHOW BROUGHT ME HERE. COPS ARE BEAUTIFUL BRUCE. THEY DESERVE RESPECT. STREET FIGHTS BRUCE. YOU LOVE THEM WITHOUT YOU.

I remember burning this version of the song on a cd and playing it on repeat while riding the bus home from high school.. those were the days.
this whole album i had on cd.. had to hold it still so it wouldn't skip lol 2002? damn.
i miss those days more than anything. let's go back in time, please God.
Reminds me of Ben Folds...
The most underrated song ever
This song is seriously amazing!
Even after all these years of listening to it, it still puts a big smile on my face every time I hear it
Another night slips away
In other words I should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words
In his eyes I see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves
And the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
The multi-life is better than
The one we're in the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone
They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is movin' on
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive
And put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing that's real
Are the kids that kid themselves
And the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
What can't stay goes away
It starts stopping when it stops stopping

It is. but be my guest to believe in whatever you want, such as santa claus.

Well said, it's simply a different recording. No need to say "Don't up load it" because i personally enjoy this one over the original recording.
This one just sound sso much more dramatic and intense with feeling. The approved recorded version is lacking imo
The song was written in A minor, this version is A minor....
