i decided to just upload my .zip file of all the legally sharable (?) versions I've collected.

is Lovely Feathers the tempo-ignoring band? and they do it so well.

FINALLY heard the NPR version. Oh. My. Gaaaaaawd.

Metric needs to stop roadtesting songs and just release songs after they write them, as they're way better the first time they write them and not the 129052nd.

I really like the myspace version. I like the tempo of the verse. I enjoy the panties verse. Reminds me of Sneakpimps lyrics.

Also!
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones
Oh, seriously
You gotta make mistakes your own
Come on baby, play me something
Now that she's come undone

Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

Seems like an opt out on "your own", and to the beatles it is???

after cutting out the bridge and making Sympathy super-repetitive, it just added unnecessary pain when they made those two subtly different lines the same. I can't listen to the album version. I like my Coachella acoustic version, with She's come undone. And the birds.
