Speaking of the Karine Hannah version, I really love the refrain "How far is too far? ... We're crusaders of the heart, and going all the way is just a start...". Really missed that from all the other versions. I hope Meat includes it.

Sometimes I actually forget Braver is heavily based on "Something of This Masquerade May Follow", it's been so long!
