Does anyone know why she's slightly changed the lyrics in two versions of this song? These two versions being: * "December will be magic again" * "December will be here, that magic again" Any reason for that does any one know? She hasn't. She's just changed the intonation: "December will be-hee ma-hagic again"

I believe the version of "December" on TWW CD is different from the one on the Moments Of Pleasure CD single. One is shorter? And of course, there's the bongo version... The 2 tracks you're referring to is actually the same version. The one on Moments Of Pleasure has been mastered so that the vocals and instruments sound brighter and clearer. This is all due to the mastering process which vastly improved from early 90s but in particular from 1996 onwards. In the old days of digital mastering many of the albums were simply transferred straight to digital and sometimes employing inferior copies of master tapes rather than sourced from the original master tapes. This is why the early CDs sounded so muffled and lifeless. A good example to illustrate what I mean is the song Things Can Only Get Better which was a no. 1 for D:Ream in 1994. The song then got used in the New Labour campaign in 1997 and was reissued. I noticed immediately that the reissue CD single sounded a lot louder and brighter compared to the original CD single but it was the same version but just sounded more clearer and detailed. I hope this clears the fact that there are still 2 versions of December Will Be Magic Again and not 3!!! Actually does anyone know what the "bongo mix" is officially called? Anyone?
