Quite alot of the lyrics are changed. Unreleased lyrics:
| quote: | Piece by piece I release
Once was mine, now undone
Turn blue, like you, or leave
and then down like southern sun
I still feel you
And if I said
I am tempted
to throw myself to the sea
Cause it's easier to drown
Then to face the way of this insanity
And the truth comes back around
Piece by piece I release
Once was mine, now undone
Turn blue, like you, or leave
and then down like southern sun
I still feel you
And if I said
I am tempted
to throw myself to the sea
Cause it's easier to drown
Then to face the way of this insanity
And the truth comes back around
In the air tonight for me, night for me.
You last like a sun
I’m deflated
I am pieces of the wind
unrelated
I still feel you
And if I said
I am tempted
to throw myself to the sea
Cause it's easier to drown
Then to face the way of this insanity
And the truth comes back around
In the air tonight for me, night for me.
cause it's easier to drown
In the air tonight for me, night for me.

It's about a woman contemplating suicide over lost love. However Oakenfold wanted commercial success with the tune, and decided the lyrics were too depressing for the general public, so fluffed them up to these:
| quote: | Piece by piece
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue
like New Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cos it's easier to fly
Than to face another night
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
Piece by piece
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue like New
Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cos it's easier to fly
Than to face another night
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
Set me free
You last like a song
I'm deflated
I am pieces on the wind
Unrelated
Cos it's easier to fly
Than to face another night
In southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
Cos it's easier to fly
Than to face another night
In southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free

...essentially destroying all the soul & meaning behind the song. Saying that though I prefer the way they sound on the released version, they seem to fit better (the way they're sung, I mean, not the story behind them). Don't think there's any other music change though
