There are a couple more versions of this song on the net, but this
one is more accurate. I taped the I&I on MuchMusic, and found that
this is the way Raine plays it...or very close to.
I’m not sure about the lyrics at the end of the song. I’m pretty
sure he says I’ve been weighed down, though he could be saying
I’ve been way down.
