7.  Where Do I Get The Song Fire Inside The Man?

Fire Inside The Man was originally released as a B-Side on the Original Australian Release of I Want You.  It has only recently been found on the 14 Track Japanese Truly Madly Deeply CD.  Both these CD's are likely to be expensive and hard to come by.  The song can also be found on various Russian bootleg (not official) CDs.

8.  Different Song Lengths?

There are a few songs (mostly b-sides) that have different track lengths on different Releases.

ThisSideOfMe - The Australian "Universe" single has a fade out during a final chorus - the UK "Truly Madly Deeply" single (CD1) continues to play music for a while, until it suddenly cuts off, as if someone forgot to do the fade out while mastering it.

I'll Bet He Was Cool - The version on the Australian "Break Me Shake Me" single is shorter by approximately 30 seconds than the version on the US "Truly Madly Deeply" single.

To The Moon & Back - There are several versions of this song. The Short edit (4.13), Long Edit (4.32), Australian Single Version (5.04), Album Version (5.41).  There are also several remixes of this available.

I Want You - There are two versions of I Want You.  The Radio Edit (3.37) and the album version (3.51)

There are also various tracks from the Affirmation album that have varying track lengths.   Most of these are simply a radio edit of an album version.

There are Three Versions of Truly Madly Deeply.

Truly Madly Deeply (Australian Album Version)
Truly Madly Deeply (US Album Version (Night Radio Mix on Australian TMD single))

It was the US Album Version which hit number 1 in America, not the Australian Mix.

10. Where Can I Find Pictures of Colby?
