mrdespues	4 The Tears In Your Eyes - which version? Do you prefer the B-Sides version or the We Are The World version? Personally, I'm not sure (which is why I started this thread!)...

brianr54	While the B-side version is interesting for the live sound (it was essentially the audio to the video they showed at the Live Aid concert, I think), I do prefer the version from the charity album. Just cleaner and better mixed.

Just cleaner and better mixed. I've been giving both a listen and I have to say I agree....it is more urgent-sounding and yes, better mixed.

not sure I've ever heard the charity album version confused

, is it a lot different to the b-sides one then , I assumed they were pretty much the same

Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

Yep, it is quite different! as others said, it is cleaner with very mid 80's production on it- words are alot easier/clearer 2 hear 2! The "We r the world" album version is alot better in my book- nice words,sweet song.....

b-sides version. there's just something about the up-tempo arrangement of the album version that sounds off. so does the singing.....

GangstaFam	The USA for Africa version sounds more like "Around the World in a Day". The B-sides version sounds more like "Parade". It's all about context. They both work well.

What's the difference?

The B-Sides version is slower with sparser instrumentation and I think it has different lyrics.

The We Are The World version is faster, with more 80s rock production and has more of an intense feel. I think it's shorter, too.
