Yeah, Jeremy really made a fuck-up in this one which was a shame as he did alright until then. I think with Rob Evan being such a strong vocalist it will be difficult to get a second male vocalist involved, but I'd go for Neal ahead of Jeremy. > > 06.

My favourite is the Joe's Pub Over the Top version, with just piano, Rob's voice, and Rodrick Covington's subtle backing vocals. > > 12. It's All Coming Back To Me Now > Not even close.
