me too.
So glad I'm not the only one. I still hate the bar-bar-bar-ba-ra's like crazy, but the song just gets me.
By far my favourite up-tempo song on the album, I don't even mind the Ba-Ba-Barbara intro and that whole metaphor about 'no end to grief, no end to love' seems to be the heart of SOI.
The live version doesn't quite work though, and its the chorus that lets it down for me. Whereas the album version keeps ascending, on stage the thing just seems to plateau and you don't get that same sense of lift-off or accelerating momentum.
So far, the album version remains definitive IMO.
