I love his screaming "she said she loved me" and "i just can't take this" in the original, its one of the things that make it a favorite- its so raw and desperate sounding, but now i love how he made these lines the softer parts in this version yet sounds even more guilty! Such a great song. I love his lyrics and his voice, a truly gifted man right here.

The original sounds like a few days after the fact, filled with anguished despair and fear of being caught. This acoustic version sounds like years later, when he's old, still guilty, unable to feel normal again.

I don't think I've ever heard a vocalist who's vocals have just progressed so brilliantly. His voice is immensely better since Hot Fuss (even though his vocals on that album are good and suit the rawer, younger edge) but listening to Flamingo, Battle Born and Desired Effect his voice is just incredible.

@dejorgensen10 4 жыл бұрын
It's such a good song, yet haunting. I just realized a few things from the lyrics. He's being interview by police and is upset. But the first verse says it all. They were walking, I think she broke up with him. They fought per the lyrics. Then he held her so tight "she couldn't scream". Meaning he suffocated her. He loved her, yet is pondering how he did what he did and is asking what he can do or say to make it right. It's a very conflicting and emotional song. Great story telling.
@James-kc6cq 4 жыл бұрын
The story it’s based off of is The Preppy Murder which is an actual murder where this guy Robert something left with his friend Jenny after his ex told him to basically screw someone else and in his trial he gave many excuses but in the end he basically just said “Why would I kill her? She was a friend of mine” It’s really interesting you should check it out.

Well, I like this version better than original. Always perceived this song in the metaphorical way, like it's not about actual murdering, for me it's about guy who ended up with his relationships and now it feels like a great sorrow for him. Thus, the lyrics of the song look like a conversation with his own subconscious

I used to put on a albums and just skip to the singles, until one day after skipping the same opening track dozens of times over, I thought "isn't it kinda lame that I bought a CD with over 10 tracks and I only listen to like 4 of them? Besides these songs I've been skipping sound pretty good... Maybe I should start listening to the album front to back... " So I let that opening track play, and the whole album, and ever since that's how I listen to any good album. All the way through 🙂 The year was 2004. The album was Hot Fuss. The opening track was Jenny Was a Friend of Mine. 😎
