The Second Time
It amazes me that this song inspire s hate. I love its sad and sweet little story, told in a remote corner of a small album. Stevie's hoarse whispery vocal is heart-rending and the spare instrumentation makes it seem like a Storms-style half-articulated set of memories and feelings. Why do you hate it? To me it is Stevie at her best.

I too love the vocal, the melody, and the lyrics. Obviously many do not feel the same. It's really startled me how near-unanimous the dislike for this song is, but I don't really think it's going to be something that's possible to justify or debate much. I personally can't deal with Affairs of the Heart, yet many consider that to be a high point on BTM, so how can I talk? Musical taste is, like, mysterious and stuff, innit?

http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/poll.p...ts&pollid=1438 Least Favorite Stevie song http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=48207 Least Favorite Song Semi-Finals http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/poll.p...ts&pollid=1444 So, yeah the Second Time ain't exactly a favorite around us Ledgies! For me its about the awful vocal Stevie gave for it. |

People always refer to this awful vocal that Stevie performs on this song... I'm almost wondering if I have a special, magical addition of BTM where she sounds pretty fantastic, because I just have no idea what ya'll are on about. Fair enough though.

I don't know, Dex, you might have one with extra chiffon and sparkles and moon necklaces on it!
Stevie's voice during the late 80's/early 90's was just awful, IMO. About the only Post-Rumours era Stevie song that gets good remarks is Freedom. |

*sigh* I cannot help but love the song as I always have, and pity those who cannot hear it.

So I spent some time listening to The Second Time. I will say that the music/instrumentation is very nice and kinda sad in a nostalgic way.

The vocal matches - it is melancholy and worn. All in all, beautiful in a weird way. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but really in the tradition of Stevie's sad and slow work like Storms, Sara, WISYA.

Are your listening devices covered in "lace & paper flowers"??
It's as "bottom of the barrel" as a Fleetwood Mac song can be. It is sonic ipecac.

Same here It's not a bad performance by any means, I guess since her vocal is really prominent and not washed in 80s production like most of her stuff from that era the weaknesses in her voice are more obvious. But I like it

I just dislike it, not hate it. Impossible to me, to include it within her best. But that's what I love of this world. Different opinions about everything.
I do like Empire State, Family Man, Welcome to the Room... Sara. And I know many ledgies hate these songs. But I don't like Second Time, and When I see you again.
