This song is great and the new mix with the strings and horns addition is perfect.

What a nice surprise !

I think this remastered version is much better than the original. The original is a bit bland for me. I now really like the song,and hope he carries on playing it live.You can see him getting that chant going live, and the ooh ohhs at the end

Wow.. it sounds so much more complete now. I actually love this now. I could see this on an album with Groovy Potential, they have the same kind of polished precision that I love to hear in music.

Change it one more time..

I love the song in general. But, I like the soundcloud version a bit better. The strings in the itunes version at the end don't move me like his guitar does on the soundcloud version.

I can't figure out which I like better. I like the former for the reasons you mentioned, but I think the interplay with the strings, guitar, and horns, in the middle section of the new one, is unbelievable, and is a great build up to the eventual breakdown. The no justice no peace chant on the new one seems a bit tacked on, though. I guess I'll have to keep both.




AGREED! I love both versions for different reasons. I must say this tune is so nicely fleshed out!!! I really really love it.

The remastered version is so much better, gives the song so much more life.

If not for the topical lyrics, I'd say 'Planet Earth outtake.

This is a great song but it's ruined by the gratuitous string and guitar solo half way thru.
