I prefer the instrumental version. The vocal one is a bit too sweet.

I love the vocals And I really love listening to it live Even though most of the videos of the live version are terrible quality.
But the instrumental is stunning as well.

It's grown on me more since BS, but I think the normal version needs more instrumentation. That's probably what's bothering me.

I've always loved this song A LOT. But when BS came out...I died a little. It's such a GREAT recording! She sounds AMAZING.

I like the BS version but , It's not as atmospheric as the studio version.

I love both versions, and that combination was GODLY.
Man..if that had been in black and white, I think I might have cried. That seems almost like an oh-noes-Sharon-died video.
But it's awesome. And I luff it. <3

The BS version was just the best version of the song. Was it the only time they've played it live? I heard that but I wouldn't really know.

I think so, yes. It's only a bonus track, so I doubt it's been played a lot.

I've been listening to it a lot lately. Probably because it's in the same album as Overcome so it runs on But it really is beautiful.
I remember getting TSF and the booklet still has the lyrics in even though it's not on my album. I was really moved by just the lyrics. Then the music and Sharon's voice are so graceful and beautiful, it's perfect

I have no idea what the lyrics even are...
But I like the sound of the song, it's soothing. I play it when I sleep.

You should read them
This is my favourite part:
In my heart I know I can let go. In the end I will find some peace inside. New wings are growing tonight.
Thats just beautiful and the way she sings it

I like the lyrics of this song,they`re so beautiful It`s a very nice ballad,I used to be obsessed with the BS version,but the album version doesn`t make it much for me.. I actually preffer the instrumental version.It`s so sad,but beautiful even with that massive orchestration

Just such a beautiful song. Beautiful lyrics and music... The lyrics are so sad and hopeful at the same time, in my personal view; really meaningful to me. One of WT songs that makes me really cry... Like the instrumental version less, but still it's very beautiful too.

I've never really realised until now how much it means to me. It feels like Somewhere to me. The lyrics are just so beautiful and emotional to me.

I really like the Swan Song. The lyrics are so nice... But it isn't on my TSF album * cries* I wish it was though, it's so nice.
