Lyrics
And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life When sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

You guys did a bang up job on this,you put a lot of work in and it shows,what a great track,the sound of the vocals fits perfectly with the feel of it all, the slide is as stunning as it is unexpected, standing ovation for this one,well done chaps.

Im not really familiar with the original but I think i've heard it on the radio or something. But as far as i remember I think this version sounds more powerful, dramatic and emotional. Its great to hear Michael on the vocals here. Awesome work! Also the slide solo is beautiful. Fantastic collab guys!!!

I'm not familiar with the original, but I'm very impressed by the emotion, conviction and feeling you have both achieved in the performance and playing. It definitely reaches the inner self. Superb collaboration...and great to hear MD on vocals.

Applause, Mike&Mike for another great one!!! Gents, you rule!!! I wish to copy the sentence Mr. $Bill made: "-... fresh perspective to the familiar." Oustanding work (cover) in all aspects! Bravo!! :)
Covers are always tricky, sometimes they're pale shadows of the original, sometimes they offer a fresh perspective to the familiar. This one falls in the latter camp, delivered with sincerity and conviction. M&M deliver again - congrats guys! :D
