Hmmm, same quality as Not a dry eye...

The thing that confuses me is that I´ve got the solo version on my best of and in the video it´s a duet with patti.

Love the solo version, the duet drives me crazy.

Solo =

Duet with Patti =

Gina · 11 Jul 2006, 00:19

Where is there a duet version of this? On the Best Of cd? Thanks!

Paul191 · 11 Jul 2006, 01:17

Single version - 10/10

Album version - 8/10

Chris · 11 Jul 2006, 02:03

I much prefer the duet version of this song. Absolutely love it.

I agree - the duet (which I only just heard) has a bit of extra "oomph"! I love this version even more and would give it 9/10.

i got asked to sing this at a memorial service for a freind... must admit i messed it up couldnt stop crying... thats the raw emotion of the song. I love it. it's not my fave tho but it's nearly there...

scores 8 from me.

The duet version doesn't really make sense. The lyrics are "And you thought that I'd save you, Could have sworn that you'd save me!" In the single version, Patti sings the "And you thought..." bit and Meat sings the "Could have sworn..." bit, which makes no sense, as they're both saying the same thing to each other. The solo version makes more sense, but the remixed backing track is preferable from the single version. However, Patti's voice is great on this song. I'm pretty torn between the two, but overall it's not my favourite. 7.5

Evil One · 23 Jan 2007, 23:02

6 for the solo version, 5 for the duet.

White of High · 07 Jun 2012, 16:12

Have you ever noticed this song has 3 versions? CD, duet and casette. The last one is shorter than the CD one but solo. Anyway...

Average: 7.85 (188.5/24)

ShelbyLee · 07 Jun 2012, 18:34

Are we rating the solo version or the duet version? I give the solo version a 9 and the duet a 10. The performance on the Storytellers tour was incredible.

JennaG · 07 Jun 2012, 20:44

I'm not a huge fan of the solo version and I feel that the song is better with the addition of having a female voice singing some of the parts.

I love the duet version and there's not a single thing I'd change about it. The musicians are good and the vocals are spot on.

ninja · 08 Jun 2012, 00:41

love the duet version with patti

Reading this thread inspired me to look up Meat's solo version for the first time in ages. I heard it once, didn't really like it for some reason, and went back to listening to the duet version (which is incredible).

Thank you for giving me a reason to go back to it! I've been missing out all this while, it's like I suddenly stumbled on an entirely new song from Meat at his prime. Awesome surprise. It feels a little empty at points, but I think that's just because I'm used to the overblown production of the duet. The thing that stood out to me are the vocals. Meat's voice is just absolutely stunning. I can't even remember the last time I got shivers listening to a song, but...wow. He hits some incredible notes here.

I'm obviously too late to vote, but the solo version gets a 9 from me, and the duet version gets an 8. They're both amazing, though. Nothing beats Meat singing a good ballad :P

Smithie · 08 Jun 2012, 17:18

10 for the duet. I like the video too. The video is simple but effectively captures the emotion of the song, even better than some of the big productions.

RSG · 08 Jun 2012, 23:31

I prefer Solo to the Duet.

shell120978 · 19 Jun 2012, 22:06

9/10

byo1975 · 21 Jun 2012, 15:09
