This reminds me of how Joss Whedon has diverse characters say "safe as houses" and it's somewhat annoying, because some of the people who say it in his world would, but some definitely would NOT.

I played it in elementary in the US.

My favs are:
In Our Own Time
Rock Away Blind
Illumination
End of Time
That's the Way Love Goes

"Never want to give you a frown" definitely sounds like Christine. Actually, I like the way the SATC lyrics go with Come Out to Play.

He's "Meet me at the border. Wake me up when my papers are in order . . . Sweet darling, I'm your little red rover."

She's "Little darling would you come out to play. Little darling would you come out to stay with me awhile . . .I believe we should stay sister and brother. Oh, don't you know that I'm human and you are a sexy man."

The chant became known to me through British television and not through actual play or interaction. Red Rover, Red Rover, let Suzy come over.

I guess its popular in certain areas of the states. I remember seeing it on Clifford The Big Red Dog. Red Rover, Red Rover, send Clifford on over.

[michelej1]

Yes, I used to watch Clifford. And I never understood why the fact that he was a giant made him invisible. They wouldn't realize he was there and then they would look up.

But I do remember "London bridge is falling down." Then, you'd hold out your arms and put a person between you and rock them back and forth singing, "take the key and lock her up, lock her up ..."

Thinking about the comment that One Take doesn't seem to go with the rest of the album, I guess that might have been the thinking with SATC too. Or maybe Lindsey just thought it was a little frivolous. But I definitely am uncomfortable with bonus songs in the digital age, where it's sometimes hard to get them back with the original album, simply because they were downloaded in different places.

I guess it's no different than the old days, when we were stuck with them as b sides on a 45 inch single. But it's maddening. I downloaded SATC onto a disc and I can play that disc in my car, but my car won't download it onto the car's hard drive where the rest of SWS is, for some unknown DRM reason.

1) Rock Away Blind
2) In Our Own Time
3) TTWLG
4) One Take
5) End of Time

The only misfire for me on this album is "She Smiled Sweetly."

I don't think I have five favorites, but I love SWS acoustic, SAC, RAB and She Smiled Sweetly. I actually adore that song, both original and his covers!

It would always be girls vs. boys for us too. That way we girls could prove how superior we were to the dumb boys.

[PoetofRhiannon]

May I ask why people like "Rock Away Blind" so much?

It's not my favorite... and I really don't know why so many people like it so much...

Sorry - not being critical, just wondering..
