I think it's a snooze-fest. If it was meant to be a lullaby, then it definitely succeeded.

But I LOVE "Jane". And "Welcome To The Room... Sara", and especially "When I See You Again". I just don't get what is so bad about any of them.

"Jane" has dreadful lyrics and a dull vocal, and on "When I See You Again" Stevie sounds like an old bagpipe and it's both musically and lyrically rather uninspiring.

I do like WTTRS though

I think of "When I See You Again" as a song that never realized its potential. The verse about staring at stairs is sophomoric, but I actually think the verse about dreams is beautifully painful (painfully beautiful?). And even the stairs verse conveys some feeling of bereftness, drifting and aimless in one's loneliness. Stevie was always a dreamer and this song has her dream on its last gasping breath, I can't help but be moved by it, but lyrically and vocally it needs retooling.

which (I've always thought) had a strange similarity to the opening chords of SS (dance version)

Technically, it's the other way around. The opening piano part of The Dance version of "Silver Springs" is eerily similar to "Wish You Were Here" (considering "Wish You Were Here" came first chronologically). "Silver Springs" never had that piano opening prior to The Dance...it always started with Lindsey's volume pedal guitar opening.

omg that made my tea come out my nose!!

with regard to WISYA... I always wondered if it was written about her breakup with Kim. I guess it was the line "if she sees him again/will your very best friend/will your very best friend/have been replaced by some other"
Like as long as Kim was with her, it wasn't like he'd replaced Robin or something...you know, in Stevie-logic. Just a thought.

I was just reading about this Everywhere cover:

http://stereogum.com/1260711/selebri...ac-cover/mp3s/

As a kind of Valentine’s Day gift to the world, the Brooklyn-based designer-pop trio Selebrities have covered Fleetwood Mac’s 1987 trifle “Everywhere,” enlisting New York singers Erika Spring and Lissy Trullie to help out on the spectral harmonies. If you’re familiar with the original, you know that its soft deep-chiffon vibe, which sounds extraordinarily 2013, cannot be an easy thing to replicate it, but Selebrites, more or less, nail it. Listen below.
