Meat's version is the definitive one for me as his delivery of the song is what makes the lyrics live for me.
The fact that this song is a personal reflection of something I went through is probably what makes me love it even more so. It is the shortest song on the album, but has a tremendous emo connection for me. Proof for me that longer isn't always better. I am thankful for this song. I know a lot of people here DO NOT like it and I respect that. But I felt compelled to at least explain why I hold such a high mark for this song.

I agree with you Suzie. I find myself, as i listen to Bat 3 and HCTB more and more, that I love almost all of the songs depending on my mood or what i'm dealing with.
This song at times makes me feel really emotional and his clear voice, at times rough and then beautifully controlled softness, gives me a shiver and is perfect at those times when this song really speaks to me. Even my little 15 year old brother was moved by this song, he made it his facebook status. I think Meat needs to continue to push HCTB to a younger demographic and do more shows! I think there are thousands of people who don't even know the album exists.
