"With Arms Wide Open" - Creed

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   According to my research (and memory), the commercial maxi-CD single release of Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" contains the following tracks:

1) rock version

2) strings version

3) acoustic version

Would anyone who has this CD single kindly confirm this track listing and also pass along the printed and actual run times?  I clearly recall the "strings version" getting all the airplay on my local Top 40 station, while the LP version and "rock version" got played on local rock stations.

	Paul Haney, Is the Strings Version the one you listed in the annual or is it the acoustic version? They both have similar times to the 3:52 that I am curious which version you went with...
	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	We went with the first cut on the commercial single, which happens to be the "Strings Version."
