the (bonus) songs of Overdressed: 10,000 Angels
what you already knew…
Track Number: 14
Author(s): Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken
what you probably didn’t know…
…this song is another one that Sandra wrote years ago. She actually wrote it and performed it for a friend’s wedding.
…the band was originally going to record this song with Danielle singing lead, but they ended up wanting to keep Derek’s recording of it on the record, despite it being in a higher key than Derek usually sings in.

Question is, does that mean we’re never going to hear him perform it live? Or that he’ll only perform it live when he’s having a good night? Or that they’ll just play it in a different key? I can handle that – I don’t have perfect pitch, so I’d probably never know. =P

Peter: He’s played it live. I’ve recorded it and put it out for release.

I love this song, but bought the new album on itunes, which doesn’t have it. Am I out of luck?
