Blancmange question

Postby gnj1958 » Sun Nov 08, 2009 11:16 pm

Is the single "I Can See It" 1986 the same song as "Why Don't They Leave Things Alone" from the "Believe You Me" album? if so why did they change the name of the song? Is the single significantly different than the album track?

The single is an upbeat synthpop track, the album version is downtempo. I don't know why they changed the title instead of just calling it the 'dance mix'.

Kinda funny that 'I Can See It' was remixed for the single and then titled 'Why Don't They Leave Things Alone'

So why don't they leave album tracks alone when they are released as singles?

All the best,

Maybe because it is so radically different than the album version that they didn't want people to get the wrong impression that the remix is a slow song.
