I am an idiot (question re: Fast Cars/Xanax and Wine)

IO: I am an idiot

So I can't figure this out....I have a song that I think is fast cars and a song that is supposedly xanax and wine. Are they the same song with 2 different names? Or does one of the songs just have the wrong title? They sound the same I think.....What's the deal, apologies in advance that I am an idiot about this!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to move this to EYKIW and maybe someone can help you.

Xanax and Wine is an earlier version of what ended up becoming Fast Cars...

They are a lil' different in the lyrics and some of the musical arrangements. Listening back to back now to see what the major difference is...

Actually this belongs in WTAHAN.

Xanax And Wine starts with a great guitar riff and I think it has the same lyrics and it's defenitly the same melody but with a diferent and much bigger chorus than Fast Cars. So Fast Cars has the same lyrics and melodies on the verses but a diferent chorus and very diferent arrangment. Very good songs, I prefer Xanax And Wine....

Xanax has an extra chorus (which I think is a highlight):

Take me
Save me from myself
I know that you've been good to me
Now I need you not to be
Wake me
I feel like I've been asleep
I'm buying things I can't afford
etc.

Lauren you're not an idiot...just musically challenged....

Sounds like you have Fast Cars and Xanax. Xanax is a bit more Rock 'n Roll, while Fast Cars kind of grooves in a latin sort of way.

Thanks all; I have now listened multiple times and very clearly hear the difference. Guess I should've listened a little more than 1 time each before posting....

I think that perfectly sums it up....

Xanax is sounding like the normal U2 sound and also is dangerous with the wine. the fats csar is sounding god with spanish gitar
