I absolutely love this song. I was originally just going to post the acoustic version, although I love both the acoustic and original versions. But I thought this was an opportune moment to point out something that kind of bothers me, which required the posting of both songs.
So I love music, and I like a lot of different genres. I don't really care for extremes in music though, like rap (i like hip hop), country (some pop country is okay, if it's more pop), and I don't really care for heavy metal music where the lead vocalist screams the entire song to the point where it hurts to listen to it or I can't understand what they're saying. I DO however, love rock that incorporates a little screaming into it, example the original version of Diary of Jane. Although this one is pretty mellow, I don't even mind a little more screaming to be honest. It bothers me however, when people say that musicians who scream in their songs aren't really singing or are trying to mask their lack of singing ability, which I've actually heard from people quite often. Though that might be true in some cases, it's certainly not true in the majority. In actuality, it's just their style and they still have the capability of singing without screaming, and can actually produce really beautiful vocals. Example: The Diary of Jane (Acoustic). This song is really pretty, where as the original, not really classifiable as "pretty" is just a fun rock song.
I thought these two songs also served as a perfect example of how music can elicit different emotions. The exact same song, composed and performed in two different ways by the same artist bring about two completely different emotions.
