It really does take the song to another level. I dont believe those are real strings because a reviewer back in 1974 criticized them for over playing the synth programmed strings.
Chris's singing seems so heartfelt with so much stripped away. You can feel her emotion. At first listen on the album version it seems like such a happy love song if you dont pay attention to the lyrics so much. But this acoustic version breaks your heart.
"please don't leave me all alone cause I cant make it on my own"
"when you held me in your arms. I might be wrong but that's where I belong"
"Why are you such a sweet memory"
Its almost like this is the Why of Heroes Are Hard to find.
