It was played to death and Europe were always on the uncool side of things, a watered down Bon Jovi minus the New Jersey cedibility even Bon Jovi have in their best moments (when they are not playing utter drivel). But I'm outing myself: When I first heard that melody on the radio it refused to leave my brain for days. It's still in there somewhere ...

This version is nice, I think Europe would approve.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Wow- he does a scintillating (or scentillating...) rendition of Pat Metheny's "Jaco"!
