Vickie writes that she agrees with Susan, and I figgered it was time
to toss in my 2 bits (I've been trying not to...)

I heard the TWS version before I heard/got TKI, and thought it was a neat
song.  I then got TKI and fell in love with the song (I still don't have
a copy of TWS!).  At first it seemed like I only liked the TKI version
better because I was more familliar with it.  However, when I finally
read _Wuthering Heights_, I was able to truly say that the earlier version
captures Cathy the way I saw her in the book (although, of course, that was
influenced by the songs!).

In discussing the versions of the songs with friends, we finally decided
that I liked the TKI version because it captures the child-Cathy that
comes back at the beginning of the book, while my friends like the TWS
version because it's more ghostly--there's what sounds like a little
extra re-verb on KaTe's voice that makes it haunting/ghostly...and it's
obviously much older Cathy being portrayed...

Just a few thoughts....
