What do you prefer more? The album version doesnt sound like it's been properly mixed. Single version all the way for me
 
yes I assume that is what is on the radio...at least it's the one that I am hearing on my local station.
 
But yeah here as well , prefered the single version , sounds more natural , even the drums sound better
 
Single version all the way! more strings and wtf is it with Bono on the album version during I know I hurt you and I made you cry? is he vomiting or so?
 
Damn... another album version that totally sucks compared 2 the single version.

The single version is AMAZING.

The album version, had I heard it first, would have been okay, but having heard the single version 1st, this is a huge letdown.
 
There's not much of a difference, it's just more of a hi-fi recording so yo can hear more, there's a longer exit and about one more line I notced right before he says "Love left a window in the skies" he says somethign about not murdering you and me.

Personally when I first heard it it seemed really different, but after a second spin it sounded so much better.
 
Oh man my single version must of sucked, so the album version is much cleaner sounding and clearer. I like hearing the drums so clearly in the album version. :up:

I'll have to listen again to compare, but so far I like what I hear.
 
The album version just sounds so raw completely stripped of a production. The single version for me;but i do like the RAW version
too.
 
The album version sounds more like U2 than The Beatles, and that's a good thing. On Radio Hamburg you could barely hear the instruments, album version :drool:

Yeah there's a difference there, isn't there? On the single version, it actually sounds like he says "I *nope* I hurt you and I made you cry" - almost a weird mix of "know" and "hope".

I prefer the single mix. Sounds more Rick Rubin-esque -- poppier and more polished.

single version i think. the drums are too heavy on the album version.

Or maybe the rest of the song is not heavy enough:eyebrow: ?

Some days are Ablum version; some are single:wink:
