The beat makes it lighter...not as sad.

Heath, it is the Gears 2 Trailer. But still, addiction to this song

Truly one of the top 10 best songs ever written. I like both versions, depending on my mood. If I want a more Daughtry style, I take the drums. If I want the mellow R.E.M. style, I go without the drums. Regardless, the song goes to my core every time.

I think is better with the drums. It makes it slightly more interesting. (Man, this makes me think of Cowboy Bebop. XD)

soooo goood

its gears of war one not two... but yeah this is an amazing song!

Im addicted on this song *:*

love the song...thanks...

love this song!

its weird with the drums in the back. But I guess that's why they call it an alternate version.
