Sadly, I've got to join in with those that are disappointed with this.

In addition to the singing and timing issues, is it just me, or are they singing "We always dream we'd SEEM braver, but we never are." That's really what it sounds like to me.

Wasn't the original "We always dream we'd BE braver, but we never are?" "Seems" makes zero grammatical sense. It'd have to be "We always dream we'd seem braver but we never DO [seem braver]," which, of course, sucks. I'm not a grammar-nazi or anything, but with "seems" in there it plays like it's not even written by a native English speaker.

Could someone please tell me it's just my ears or something to do with the compression or something? It's really hard for me to believe that Jim would have made this lyric change or signed off on the song with it in there. It reminds me of Meat's "rise above yourself" instead of "rise above your cell" on Cry to Heaven. As if someone misheard a word and replaced it with an inferior one.
