Here's the link to the a cappella version being discussed. Simply beautiful and amazing. You can clearly here Dennis throughout the song. I could listen to this all day... and sometimes do!
The "music is in my soul" line is an amazing piece of harmony.
The only thing I don't like about the song is that Dennis doesn't get a vocal solo like everyone else. They could have cut back on Mike or Bruce's part to give him a line. I know (thanks to his own songwriting) that Sunflower features more Dennis leads than any other except LA (two solo, two shared with Carl), but it just seems strange everybody gets a turn except Dennis.
I used to feel that way too. It took hearing an a cappella vocal mix of ASMTYD before I realized how prominent Dennis' voice is in the song. Every time they roll around to the chorus Dennis actually has a recurring vocal line in the round of "Add Some, add some, add some music to your day". He's there, very clearly, its a cool part. He pops in at 0:31-0:33, 1:07-1:09, 1:42-1:45 and 3:01-3:03. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBkA4-U4MPkThe only thing I don't like about the song is that Dennis doesn't get a vocal solo like everyone else.
