3 Doors Down - Here Without You

   Wow, this is really wild, Paul C!  In the span of the past few hours, you have commented on two songs -- "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down and "Wonderful" by Adam Ant -- both of which I actually had queued up among my very next batch of songs to discuss on the message board!  Really, what are the odds of this happening?  Hmmm... you wouldn't happen to be the culprit who hacked into my computer desktop recently, would you?  

Anyway, the "Here Without You" situation is completely baffling to me also because I cannot detect a single difference whatsoever between the "Album Version" and the "Radio Edit", other than the latter contains a slightly more compressed audio wave (which, of course, is not enough to qualify as a "version" or "mix" discrepancy).  It appears we pretty much have an identical situation here as we do with "Cheap Trick's "Cant Stop Fallin' into Love", in which the "LP version" and single version/"Radio Mix" for that song appears to be virtually indistinguishable from one another (although crapfromthepast has claimed that he can detect an ever-so-slightly difference between the two mixes).

	Some stations preferred to play the shorter edits of songs with all of the bad words and sex/drugs references removed, while others chose to play the full album versions and weren't so conservative about the lyrics. Sometimes it was even "dayparted" (play the radio edit during the day, and the album version during the overnight "safe harbor" hours). So in this case, the difference could be purely psychological. Radio stations could continue to make their normal choice of either the radio edit or album version, even though on this song there was no actual difference between them!
