The guitar wobbly effects distract from the song and he uses a lot of half-rhymes (line and time), good otherwise.

Is there any rule that says a song must rhyme, though? It must have flow and rhythm, but is rhyme a necessary element? And I agree there may have been a bit too much wobbly effect.

Half-rhymes and assonant rhymes are perfectly legitimate anyway.

Legitimate, but dumb sounding. :p I'd rather it not remotely rhyme at all. Just giving my personal opinion as asked.

Wonderful song. Partial to The Glade Part II myself. Tear up every time I hear it. Great film as well. I like me some Wes Studi, but I felt he needed gutting by Russel Means.

And the Japanese CD verson is the best in sound quality. Nothing will match that record's genius.

And it contains the greatest love song ever: Adore.

I would go with "Purple Rain" and "Take Me With You," respectively. The latter should be played at every wedding reception ever.

It's hard to pick wrong with him, though.

I was on one a few weeks ago! Have no idea why. Love singing to the songs; my neighbors don't love it so much.

Right now, Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire. Another song I should never be allowed to sing.
