In that sense, maybe that's why BTLH and SYHA don't remind me of Stevie at all. Maybe he wrote them as solo ventures and wasn't thinking about her when the lyrics evolved. Michele

...and so they can be unified in the Mac context...and to meet the needs of fans.
I also agree about BTLH and SYHA; I don't get a Stevie vibe off those songs. Def do about Say Goodbye, of course, but that's bout it from that album.
Too bad he never really got the chance to write new songs after The Dance... except for Twist of Fate/Right Place to Fade... which is TTOOOOOOTTAAAAALLLY about Stevie.
