Galaxie 500 version alters the chords a bit substituting the 7ths, which to me evoke more emotion, with a minor cord. Makes the song less poignant I think.

! Great insight. It's definitely less poignant --though also, to me, *differently* poignant. Like .. it feels like they're trying to sidestep some of the louder emotional pieces. And only somewhat succeeding. Which is ... Kinda poignant?
