Why is it that "Matilda" breaks up so many of us ? All of the lads here have a hard time of it. My buddy Chris does an amazing rendition. He sings and plays the guitar very softly and it is a slow version. The audience leans in and strains to cry along. The room is completely silent, with most heads bowed, until the last verse, when we all wipe our eyes and join in. Is it the "anti" message or the delivery ? I'm tearful just remembering some of the sessions in which it was done by Chris. However, my cousin does a faster version, with more "voice" and it doesn't have the same effect. What say you ?
