Tastes are quite different I suppose. I am really fed up with R&J. I have heard it over and over, and is not doing it for me anymore. On the other hand So far away has a more spare sound, an "american" production and a cathy guitar riff, that i keep enjoy listening to, no matter the simple lyrics. Grom all the BiA singles, it is the only one that I would intentionally listen, (maybe BiA too). But like I said tastes are different.
That is quite alright.

It's just that only recently I am re-discovering Mark and his music, so I didn't realize he played R&J quite often during his last tours. I did see some solo versions on youtube and thought those versions were really better than the old DS versions. I will see Mark in Amsterdam in may 2013, it will be the first time I will see him live again in a long, long time.
