pretty sure it is no sunlight. did you watch the first video on that page? it seems like a music video because it has sequences of them playing instruments together with them playing whirly ball.

Meh.. IWPYH acoustic? No bueno. That song is too epic and the progression needs all the instrumentation it can get. You just can't build layer upon layer with two acoustic guitars. But that's just my opinion. I don't think that song NEEDS an acoustic version.
Cath... would be nice though since I remember you all thought it'd be acoustic on the album.
Though I'd love Grapvine Fires acoustic.

They've done it on multiple occasions now for radio shows and such, and it actually works really well for underlining the melody and groove of the song. They do not do the intro on those version btw, so the whole layer thing isn't really an issue. It's one of their better acoustic versions songs for sure, which is surprising yes. It's not a song i could see Ben doing solo though, but as a band it works.
Oh and there's so much whirlyball gold in that archive. A healthy musician is a happy one.
My favourite is still the youtube one though where the judge gets beat up.
