Should've done it like this in the first place. I quite like this, although i still think James' voice doesn't suit it.

This version has more 'feeling'. Nice!

I start to really like the second verse of the song. In fact great but simple lyrics.

Is Nicky playing James' Gretsch White Falcon there? Careful with that Nick! It was a wedding present! At least in this version you don't get the 'saliva caught in throat' sound with the line 'things fall in to place'. (Sorry, wasn't sure the best way to describe that! I get that sometimes where if you are talking alot a build up of phlegm or something changes the pitch of your voice a bit. Until you cough and it goes back to normal! So yeah, I'll shut up now! )
