That's interesting....as from what I can see most people really like Thrown Down and it's not so unpopular. People often put it as their favourite SN song on Say You Will ......

I am sure if it's referring to THAT ...he really WOULD LIKE IT!
I always assumed it was about his member, from first listen. And he wrote "Come" a few years later. He sure has a way....

It's funny I liked Stevie's the best. But, I won't lie just because Christine is better than Stevie.

Further to Angel75's comment, I'd also suggest Isn't It Midnight is generally well liked. A small number aren't fussed because it sounds a bit too '80's rock' but (I think) most people hold it in pretty high esteem. I certainly do.

New songs on The Dance (in rank order)

1) Bleed to Love Her
2) Temporary One
3) My Little Demon
4) Sweet Girl

I dont dislike any of them. I think they'd be more appreciated if there were studio versions on proper albums. I wasn't fussed about BTLH until Say You Will came out then it suddenly it became a real favourite. Temporary One sounded like a return to her early writing- could have been on Bare Trees.

I thought "unpopular" meant that it was not a hit or did not chart well.

Exactly. And I thought they sounded quite good getting their first airing in a live setting. Kinda' reminds me of those great Green and Kirwan-era songs that never got studio treatment: Sandy Mary, Only You, When I See My Baby...

(Well, Only You got it much later, on a Kirwan album, but without Mick and John to back him up...)

Temporary One has these nice driving verse sections punctuated by a catchy chorus. To me, it sounds a lot like the guitar-driven pop from the late 90s/early 2000s. It seems, of all the new Dance songs, the most tuned-in to the spirit of the times.
