    This version seems off to me. The orchestral backing is intrusive and sometimes fights Paul's voice, which isn't high enough in the mix. It's like he's trying to sing quietly because he doesn't want to disturb anyone in the next room. His delivery is also quite mannered, and he comes in late at 1:12. On the whole, it's a decent song, sounding like a late '70s Neil Diamond or Barry Manilow album track (though Nicholas is easily a better singer than Diamond). Too sleepy for a single, though, and lacks a proper chorus.
