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!

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).

I don't have my copy of the promo CD handy, but based on the above info, there's not even a 2-second difference. The printed time of the "Album Version" is incorrect.]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:09:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=66396&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#66396 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=66391&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#66391 Author: Paul C

I've listened to the two tracks on the promo CD (the 'radio edit' and the 'album version') several times, and I remain completely baffled. The only difference I have been able to detect is that the 'radio edit' is two seconds shorter. There must be something else I'm missing. ]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:22:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=66391&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#66391 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46977&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46977 Author: eriejwg

Turns out I have the lone CD in the database that runs
3:55. Not sure if that means I have the correct mix.]]> Sun, 19 Feb 2017 21:52:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46977&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46977 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46976&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46976 Author: eriejwg

I doubt the mix is enough to warrant a notation in the
database. But, wondering which CD's have the radio edit
or mix.]]> Sun, 19 Feb 2017 21:49:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46976&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46976 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46974&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46974 Author: eric_a

That's my hunch. I don't have the promo single, but I
compared a version from a Promo Only disc (presumably the
single version) against the track on Away From The
Sun on Amazon Prime's streaming service. Based
on this limited approach, I found that the waveform from
the Promo Only disc looked a lot fuller/compressed than
the album version.

Certainly nothing offensive in the lyrics. Mix
difference, maybe?]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2017 19:44:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46969&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46969 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46965&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46965 Author: Bwci Bo

Thanks for confirming the actual run times, Smokin' TomGary.

So it appears that both the radio edit and the LP version run 3:55. I'm wondering if maybe there are some revised lyrics in the radio edit? Anyone?]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2017 17:23:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46965&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46965 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8698&PID=46946&title=3-doors-down-here-without-you#46946 Author: eriejwg
