And that bridge, so damn good. The box set version stripped it of all it's pop shmaltz and made it so ordinary sounding.

Completely agree with everything. I love that song, and in particular the soundtrack version. I never really liked the boxset version, the vocal takes felt less inspired.
I also liked the acoustic performance of the Bounce Tribute Band.
When Olli sings "This is real pain" he imprints authentic claw in the word "Pain". That's very cool.
