I loooove the album version of Daybreak. It's so perfectly... imperfect, if that makes sense. Just that whole run of songs at the start of I am... is just (for me) the best run of songs on any Ayu album. The whole feel of the songs, the songs themselves, the way I am... feels so polished and perfect like a pop album but the songs have this very rough around the edges feel to them. It's all just... perfectly rough around the edges and so good. When Daybreak comes around it's SO cathartic and free compared to still alone, which feels very tight and tense. It's the perfect ending to the first half of the album.
I just love I am...! The songs are all typical Ayu to me, but I think the 'feel' of these songs is something only found on I am. I was totally in shock when we got Mad World, it pulled those same heartstrings as the stuff on I am. Think it was the way she sung it, because it definitely sounds more polished.
HALs version of Daybreak is nice but it's got nothing on the original for me.
