Smile At You- awesome!
Is this song great of what? I love Stevie's vocals on it- so different then anything she has ever done before. And the lyrics are awesome, especially the line "what you did not need was a woman who was stronger, you needed someone to depend on you, i could not be her, i did not want to, my first mistake was to smile at you". I really love the way John's bass and Stevie's guitar fade out so slow at the end. No one ever seems to talk about this song, so I thought I'd bring it up. Anyone else in love with Smile at You?

Personally, I love the song and find it to be 100 times better than the old, cloying demo. Her voice is top notch and so is everything else.

I loved this song from the first listen. It's my favorite of Stevie's on SYW and one of my all-time favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. Her vocals are phenomenal and I love the bass in it. It also features some of Lindsey's finest production. It doesn't get nearly enough recognition.

Oh, what was the original chorus anyway? I've never heard the demo before.

When I first heard the album version, I was KNOCKED OUT. It was like a totally different song and I really dug it. Still do. In all my years of being a Mac fan, it was the one moment where I was genuinely surprised.

I enjoy the "angry" version, and the less-discussed "softer" version... but the album version blew me away.
The "angry" version, while great, was somewhat standard in its arrangement. A great song, but not an AMAZING song. The new direction Lindsey took it for 'Say You Will,' propelled it to that "amazing" category. Everything about it is aces. Stevie's voice and lyrics... Lindsey's production, guitars and Middle-Eastern touches... John's throbbing bassline... Mick's subtle drumming on the choruses... Perfection.

It's why I also love the album versions of "Planets Of The Universe" and "Goodbye Baby"... they're fresh approaches to songs we've known for years. The demos are great, and I still listen to them... but the album versions provide something new for me to sink my teeth into.

I love every version of this song I have, but the one on SYW is my favourite. The production, the vocals, the intensity: a touch of perfection.

I love the song, especially the end..
However, I also love the "angry" smile at you. Vianna

Strange...
I posted at the same time with Johnny Stew and our messages say almost the same... it's definitely a day full of coincidences for me
About Illume, it still amazes me every time I listen to it, they took a big risk with such a complex song and something incredible came out, IMO. Romy
