This song just works. Ive used this as a rock song and as a musical theatre song, the long, held notes create enough freedom that you can design the style based on your own interpretation of the notes on the page. With that being said, the lyrics are a bit shallow, and his original arrangement left a lot to be desired. Im giving this an overall positive review because Ive had enormous luck using this as an audition song for rock shows.

This song is a good purchase. I like that it has all three parts on it. The Arrangement is kind of poor. The left hand or the whole entire song is just one note for each measure. The only way that actually sounds good enough for me is if I improvise the Left hand with the chords given. It is just too plain with the one note melody. Hopefully someone will rearrange this piece. But for now, the only good part about it is the right hand. Also, this piece is recorded in F# Major So C is not correct if you are planning on playing it *exactly* like Edwin McCain. Hope this helps.
