Song Versions
The song has five recorded versions that have appeared on soundtracks, CDs, and singles:
- The Learning to Breathe version, which was released in 2000. It is characterized by quieter, less driven instrumentation. It also appears on the A Walk to Remember soundtrack single.
- The Beautiful Letdown album version, which was released in 2003. It featured a brand new mix of the song (heavier electric guitars) and stronger vocals from Jon Foreman, ultimately resulting in a more complete and emphatic ending. Also, the title was changed to "Dare You to Move", dropping the "I" from the original title.
- A finalized radio-edit remix done in 2004, which slightly tweaked the Beautiful Letdown album version to allow for heavier drum and electric guitar accompaniment throughout the entire song. This is the version which has been featured on most alternative rock music stations. It is also the same version that is heard in the first version music video for this song. In 2007, it was made available for purchase on the iTunes-exclusive deluxe edition of The Beautiful Letdown.
- There is also a live version of the song on the exclusive iTunes EP - Live EP, which was recorded in San Diego.
- The Japanese version of the album Nothing Is Sound has an alternate version of "Dare You to Move" which is longer than the original, and features different instrumentation and arrangements from the previous versions.
