Specifically like that she seems to genuinely really love Family Man and Caroline since she mentions them 2-3 times enthusiastically. And rightfully states that Lindsey has the best songs.

She also says without saying it, that she was completely useless to that album.
Or at least the closest to saying something overly critical about her own music as far as I can remember. She literally lists every song as being great except the 2 she wrote and mystified. And it’s possible she glossed over mystified, but Stevie never just glosses over a chance to talk about a song she wrote.

And Now that I’m thinking about it, I can’t recall one time Stevie’s ever even said the title of those 2 songs.

She often admits to not liking much of Street Angel, but has never really spoken to providing 2 of the worst songs to such a great album. And the kicker is she had so much better to offer.

I agree with everything you’ve said. I’m a huge Stevie fan but Tango in the Night may be my favorite FM album. It takes you to a really specific point in time and I get why The 1975 person feels this way too!

I really love how Stevie takes opportunities to speak here. IIRC, he talks about loving this album and rather than moving off the topic she says something like, “well if you love that album, here’s a story about it and these are the songs I love the most” etc. Sometimes, especially on these boards, people get very wrapped up in Stevie’s personal life and personality, but I could listen to her talk about music all day!
