But her version, which is the seminal version, is in a major key and it's up-tempo. When you hear it, you don't realize that it's actually a heartbreak song. People dance.
Then there is a band called Third Story who changed the key and took the tempo right down. Ah. And now it becomes a heartbreak song. And now people are crying. And now you make people cry. Whoa.

Right, right, right, right, right.
Right, right, right, right, right.
Right, right, right, right, right.
I'm the camp that sits right in between. Because I think both of those things have inherent value. Let's take Mozart's Lacrimosa. Nobody knows what those lyrics are. Lacrimosa means to cry.

Which is why I'm in both camps. Because even the happiest song can actually mean something very, very different. We can dance when we're happy. We can dance when we're sad. Both have value. Like I'll listen to the lyrics all day long. But sometimes I just want to hear the music. Sometimes it's the music that moves me.
