Which recordings of "Adv. in Paradise" are you referring to? I'd love to hear what you're talking about; it's hard to get a sense of this directly over the bulletin board.

I thought I explained where in the song the variance was ? after the sub dominant minor modulation to the new key, albeit temporary, then the resolution back to the original via the dominant 7th and the G-Ab note on the Eb chord followed by the G-A notes on the G7th. Where that words are "One Lovely Shore" ... and . "called evermore"

I Rarely attempt a tune/song that I don't know the words to. From a personal point of view I don't believe that you can play an instrumental version of a song and not have respect for the lyrics. After all, the listeners are probably singing the words subliminally as you're playing it. You could easily find them switching off mentally when what you played didn't jibe with what the were "singing". so to speak.

Having recorded quite a few of my own albums and produced hundreds of albums for the higher echelon of the industry In Ireland, I've never pandered to the school of thought that says "It's progress" to modify the original work and stamp one's own mark upon it by altering the composer's INTENT. Surely Phrasing, arranging and general interpretation are the true artistic talents used to "Claim" a tune/song.
