Wow. This is more than incredible.
His first version of this song was no doubt about him and his lover, in what seemed to be a hopeless relationship. Everyone said it wouldn't last, and he said "they can burn in hell," promised they'd prove them all wrong.
The song ends with the repeating, "They can burn in hell"
And now this new version has to added verse. Telling a story of people coming into the scene and taking her and all they had away, leaving him with nothing. It seemed like he did something to lose her.. But it wasn't fair, he didn't deserve to lose her completely like he did.
And this version ends with the repeating, "forgive me now."
I like this version better, though.. Its sad.. Seeing the comparison between the two.
These are my thoughts at least. I'd love to hear anyone elses.
