No,I don't believe that I have listened to the Dutch version of Reach for the Light,but your mentioning it does spark my interest.

I would love to hear the Dutch version

I don't like the singer...he sang some words in a very annoying way. And, as some ppl said, he didn't make the feeling right

There's also the dutch version, have you ever heard it?

Well, Steet, What I saw wrong with it was that the singer didn't really feel the power of the lyrics of the songs. He kinda sang it a little too casually for the lyrics he was singing. If you want to know what I mean by "Feeling it" in the song, I guess you might know Billy Joel, and the song "Piano Man" Joel really feels his song's power, and you can tell by listening to him and actually hearing the lyrics. The Steve Winwood guy, I didn't feel power or meaning in his voice that should have gone with the lyrics.

No, I haven't heard the Dutch version, but maybe I'll try listening to that.

In short: Lyrics, good.
Singer, not good.

Ah, that's Ok. It's your opinion, so it's not my place to disagree with you.

You don't know Billy Joel? Maybe you've heard him sing "Piano Man". Here are some of the lyrics:

Sing us a song!
You're the Piano man!

Sing us a song tonight.

'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody,
and you've got us feeling all right!

Oh.. I thought that was the one you meant. Ohh.. I love that song.
It's Irish isn't it?
I know that when I went to Ireland, and we were singing around the piano in a lovely pub, that was one of the songs the piano man decided to play.. the atmosphere was so perfect for it. Everyone else in the pub joined in.. aw.. I miss that moment.

Heh.. I have friends over there. I love Ireland. It's right next door too. Since I'm in England.

I'm also 1/4 Irish. My Grandad was born and bred there.

I would love to hear a hair metal/power ballad version of the song. Kinda along the lines of Warrant's ballads.

I think Reach for the Light is one of the best end songs to any animated movie, in the top 5, no question. It was great, from start to finish

I have heard the dutch version, which was alright, and having that guitar sound near the end, gives it a 80's sound, so that was cool.

But I will say that I like Reach for the Light a lot better then 'Can you feel the love tonight"

'Can you feel the love tonight" was just like one of those dime-a-dozen songs to me.
