"Kate" with the strings track left in. For some mind-boggling reason, this version has been known heretofore on the internet as the "ska remix." (?)
Glommed from the wokeupwaytoolate.com file dump.

It's on the "Brick" single as the "ska version." Don't know if that reference is any earlier but I bought the single in high school and there it was: Brick, Smoke (Live), Kate (ska remix), Mitchell Lane.

Agreed 100% - this song handily stands on its own without the need for bullshit studio gimmicks. Worse, it steps all over the excellent vocal harmonies during the pre-chorus.* Re: Origin - this is one of those "internet magic" things which has been in circulation since I was in college (rememeber Kazaa? Pre-Metallica Napster?). *It could also be an elaborate prank by someone with a Zeta and any mixing program, playing off the budding BF5-John Mark Painter-strings relationship of the time.

Where did this song originally appear? An album? A single? A bonus download or something? I think it was a good decision to take the strings out of the album version, it's a little too much, but I like this version too.
