Here is the video for Kathleen Edwards’ song Six O’Clock News. This folk-rock song was briefly popular on the radio when it came out in 2003. I liked it a lot so I downloaded it on Limewire. It was lost along with a lot of other things when that computer crashed, years ago.
Seven years later (today) I feel like listening to it so I download it on iTunes. But the version I download is definitely a different version than the one I used to have. Very similar, but different in small ways. The lead guitar riff is slightly altered, and the tone of the guitar is also slightly different. And the singing of the lyrics is definitely different, too, especially the way she says “avenue” near the end of the song. There is no question that this is a different version than the one I used to have.
The one I had was not a live version. Could it be that it was the single of the song and that this single version was separate from the one on the album (which is the only one offered on iTunes?) I know this sometimes happens - for instance, the single 45 of “Mr. Turnkey” by Zager & Evans lacks the Moog riff that the album version has, and it also changes the line “there’s been a rape in Wichita Falls” to “I forced that girl in Wichita Falls.” So there is definitely precedent for this.
Does anyone here have the single version of “Six O’Clock News” by Kathleen Edwards?
