Actually it's in the verse

Yeah, I totally understand what you mean. One of the reasons why I don't really like the song It sounds and seems too simple, almost incomplete.

The version on Fallon with more Larry & Adam in the mix was pretty good. We're going to see a lot of this song for at least the next two years !!

I agree, except I kind of like how it abruptly ends after the "and I'm a long way from your hill of Calvary..." part. Powerful lyrics for me.

More to the point, I loved your (and treasure's) covers of the song! Very nicely done. Makes me want to pick up my guitar and give it a whirl, too.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm so self-conscious when it comes to singing haha. I always get that cringe feeling like when you hear yourself on a home video haha

You guys crush my slightest hope of being a good, or even decent, singer ! Screw you guys !

(If my humor again doesn't translate well : I want to say you guys are pretty good How can you not hear that last "hallelujah" and "running" and realise "hmm, that was spot on")

Yeah you're welcome. I'm gonna burn my amateuristic covers with a voice that sounds a like a dying cat being raped by an elephant and a rusty spoon in it's eye now
