Any of the live versions, particularly the one from "The Road To You". Pedro Aznar's voice is amazing. Check out YouTube for some great performances of this.

Imagine my surprise on reading posts on a couple of my favorite musicians- King's X and Neil Finn. Serendipity is great stuff. I like your writing and will be following your posts. A couple of quick recommendations if you're looking for more great "acquired tastes" that will instantly transport your soul: Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays' "San Lorenzo" and "September 15th" (maybe my favorite song ever written) Also, check out The Yellowjackets if you're not familiar with them already. Virtuosos that also happen to be some of the nicest guys on the planet. I've been a follower and friend since the 80's (saw them with Larry Carlton and have been spellbound ever since). Weather Report is also in my pantheon of all-time greats. Let me know what you think of any of them.

It was the first time I'd heard a breakup song that was from the point of view of the breaker-upper... you're right; it sucks just as much to dump as it does to be dumped.
