She'd had a lot of relationships but never found 'the one'-- "one day they were lovers, one day they were friends, and there was nothing else to say" and now she was getting older "so the silver-haired girl looks for escapism"... To me the best part is the bridge, when she sings: To fill the empty spaces She's feeling She depends on her music Like a husband And she knows it's no good To fall in love again That is as powerful as Doing The Best That I Can. The problem though is the first half of the song is a mess and needed a stronger producer to bring some discipline to it.

Yes I think it is and I posted the same thing earlier. Someone posted an article where Richard Dashut was saying LIndsey was speeding up and slowing down a lot of the songs. This must be a slightly different version sped up. I prefer it a little slower but love the two together. Should have both made the album with Where we belong and Ricky. If any album screamed for a double album, this one was it. So many good songs left off, minus Stevies. Sorry but she was a mess on during this record and it shows. This should have absolutely been a Buckingham Mc vie record since Stevie (once again) barely participated.

That's why I think she should be a bit more grateful with her band members.

I agree, the Dance saved her solo career, but it also did the same for the legacy of Fleetwood Mac, too. Otherwise, the world's last impressions of them would have been either the inauguration and or touring with REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar. They all benefited from the Dance, Stevie most of all.

For some great music critics The Other Side of the Mirror is her best album, or at least one of the best ones. I personally like most of it lyrics-wise, what is not everyone's cup of tea (not even mine I admit) is the very late 80s production that made it outdated probably by the year after. With time I'm coming to appreciate it just like Rock a Little that lately is experiencing a resurrecting appeal.

The writing on TOSOTM is incredible except for the few songs she did not write (go figure). I would say its right behind Bella Donna for writing. The music is pretty good too. All of us fans are unique and like different things. For me personally, I have a spiritual connection to many of Stevie's writings. It sounds weird but sometimes I feel like she is writing about me or I wrote the song because its so close to me on a spiritual level. I have no spiritual connections to anything on RAL Commercial success means nothing to me. Christine's 1984 concert had about 200 people including myself but it was my favorite concert. Street Angel was not that popular but its one of my favorites. The Dance was a huge commercial success but most of it was the novelty of the band back together again. So it pumped life into their careers for sure. The simple pop songs don't cut it for me. But I respect those who that means something. But you should never knock an album for lack of commercial success. You can hate all the songs on TOSOTM but its not true that Stevie sounds bad or could not sing on the album. When you understand the meaning behind Ghosts, Alice, Two Kinds of Love, Long Way To go and escape from Berlin it may make you appreciate the music a little more.

I like TOSOTM... I know the shame!!! I can't listen to anything after that. Only certain songs after this album. Her voice just became too much for me.

It's been so long, that I don't remember. I mean, that disc is somewhere in my studio. Maybe in a pile. Maybe being used as a doorstop or coaster.... You know, the album that drove me away from her...

And it really wasn't her voice. It was the songs! And the production. All of it. Dung. That's what it all was.
