Strange, but true. I'm sitting in a Shoney's in SWVA at a meeting about a women's business conference entitled, "Dream Big". So, I'm noshing on my fries while we're talking and this song comes on over the intercom. I literally stopped eating to listen to the words of this, since everytime prior to this I'd heard Steven Tyler screaming like a banshee on this. And it was MAGICAL. Brooke's version of this is so full of genuine yearning and I get such a sense of "missed opportunities" when she sings it. Unlike the Aerosmith vsn which just makes me want to put my fist through the windshield of my car because I'm so angry over what I have missed. Her version brings the tears. Aerosmith's makes my blood boil. Incredible that two completely different artists could induce such strong responses from the same song. GOOD STUFF...glad she did this one.
