Bothered
You know, with all this discussion of which version is better, I wanted to
throw in my two (plus) cents.
I like the instrumental part of the _Eve_ version better. I think that the
simple orchestration gives such simplicity to a song that is so complex in
meaning. Many times the beauty of lyrics and melody are lost when the
accompaniment is pushed so far out of the back ground. Not that the
instruments should be in the background, but you know what I mean. Usually
the most important part to a song are the lyrics....and if the instrumentation
covers that or detracts from that, the song is not going to survive.
The _Besides_ version, though, is typically the version I end up listening to.
Besides being easier to get to, since it's not a hidden track, I like Karin's
inflection and embellishments a lot more. I think that the instrumentation of
the _Eve_ version would be perfectly accented by the slightly more dramatic
and complex vocal version which is _Besides_.
Of course, I could be completely off my rocker, but hey.....it's an Over the
Rhine discussion!

PS: Chris, no, it's not because of the punk band (whomever they are). It's a
nickname I was given at work. Long story.....
