"Annabel Lee" & "For What It's Worth"

Please put this vote on automatic repeat until they're gone.


- Jake

[bangdrum]

Will continue voting for Italian Summer until it's gone.

For the other, I went with Annabel Lee (least good of what's left).

[Jondalar]

Secret Love (always skip) and Annabelle Lee (the song that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I listen up to the nice bridge and quickly turn it off. It's sooo redundant.)

[GoldDustWoman22]

Secret Love and Italian Summer....even though I hate to see any of these songs go!:(

[cristochango]

Italian Summer cannot be voted off. It's too good :D

[WildHearted]

Wide Sargasso Sea and Italian Summer. A few bad lyrics ruined IS for me (even though, I do love the track) and same for WSS.

The remaining 6 are flawless.

[glamorousnymph]

"To make love" = oy! "Hey, it's so soulful!" = ditto!

[tabruns]

Once again...

You May Be the One & In Your Dreams.

Same for me.

[tabruns]

Secret Love (always skip) and Annabelle Lee (the song that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

Ah Jondalar, you simply haven't accepted the awesomeness that is the "Annabel Lee" coda. I love the continually different drum punctuations that Mick does, the building of intensity with each iteration of "I lie down...".......this, and the bridge, are what elevate "Annabel Lee" from a good song to a great one.

[WildHearted]

I love everything about Annabel Lee, but my absolute FAVORITE part on the whole album occurs in this song, it's on one of the later "I lay down by the side"s and when she holds out 'side' her voice slips into a really loose, rich, detached vibrato that you really don't hear anywhere else on the album. It's awesome.

I didn't pick up on it in the first few listenings, it took some time before I actually even noticed it.. but.. now I hear it every time.

4:57ish

[Thrown_Down]

Same for me.

Me too! Even though I like them!

[MacShadowsBall]

I can't believe Ghosts Are Gone is gone. I thought that was a Ledge favorite? :shrug:

[Christopher]

Secret Love and Italian Summer....even though I hate to see any of these songs go!:(

Ditto, Ditto and Ditto.

[Phoenix]

Agreed. There's little parts here and there that make this song really cool. Mr. Mick fleetwood is doing some fantastic time keeping! With a slight time edit this song could be awesome. Because it is slightly too long but not to the point where it completely ruins it for me. It feels to me like a good party that you know you should of left maybe a half an hour ago but you're having fun so you decide to stay anyway

[michelej1]

I voted for Annabel Lee. After that, I think I'm through voting. Couldn't bear to lose anything that remains. But I will come back in the end, to save YMBTO if necessary!

Michele

[WildHearted]

Why does YMBTO have so many votes?

:/ yikes.

[mitzo]

"Annabel Lee" & "For What It's Worth"

Ditto, please please please

The bridge is the best thing about Annabelle Lee and it doesn't build as noticeabley as Wide Sargossa or have the sophistication of Everybody Loves You. Maybe if they cut the song down by a minute or two, it would pop more. Its got one of the least interesting endings, along with For What It's Worth, of any of the songs from the album. But Stevie sales it with her story about it. It reminds me of Affairs of the Heart.

I agree about the length and think most of the songs should have been shortened. But I think WSS should have been shortened by 5:36. :eek:

[WildHearted]

I agree about the length and think most of the songs should have been shortened. But I think WSS should have been shortened by 5:36. :eek:

:lol: But I agree. Most of the songs didn't need to go too far over the 4 minute mark, with a few exceptions, like Soldier's Angel, YMBTO, etc, that had length because of the words. GAG especially didn't need to be so freaking long - it's the longest song on the whole CD - and Annabel Lee, Moonlight, New Orleans and ELY could have a minute or so shaved off to each of them without sacrificing much.

However, I don't mind Annabel Lee's length at all, but I can see how it gets repetitive. Same with New Orleans. ELY.. could have been one of those rambling songs with no real chorus and been better off, and shorter. Moonlight could have lost the 'strange, she sat in a chair for months just staring' and would still have been awesome. Keep the 'he slows down' part because that kind of makes the song.

I don't like "months just staring" but I like "she knows too much to walk away/couldn't do it anyway."

[Dodfather]

"Annabel Lee" & "For What It's Worth"

Please put this vote on automatic repeat until they're gone.


- Jake

Whaaaaattt?? Absolutely not! :distress: I'm surprised that Secret Love is still there over Ghosts Are Gone but oh well. I've gone for Secret Love and Italian Summer. After that it really will be far too difficult to vote any more!

[michelej1]

FWIW is going down to the wire.

Michele

[michelej1]

but I like "she knows too much to walk away/couldn't do it anyway."

Yes, that and the "strange" parts are my favorite.

Michele

[glamorousnymph]

FWIW is going down to the wire.

:blob2::blob1:

[Dodfather]

FWIW is going down to the wire.

Michele

I thought the finl three would be For What It's Worth, Annabel Lee and Moonlight but now I'm not so sure....

[mitzo]

FWIW is going down to the wire.

Michele

Then there really is no God after all, is there....:(:shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm literally pissed about YMBTO getting so many votes!

[louielouie2000]

I'm literally pissed about YMBTO getting so many votes!

The Ledge has never had any taste... don't be too offended. :p :xoxo:

[WildHearted]

I thought the finl three would be For What It's Worth, Annabel Lee and Moonlight but now I'm not so sure....

That would be my top 3.

[WildHeart69]

I can't believe Ghosts Are Gone is gone. I thought that was a Ledge favorite? :shrug:

probably my least fav of the album...


secret love and italian summer get my votes

[equeen102289]

Why the hell is everyone voting for YMBTO??? It's the best song on the album! It's made its way into my top 5 all time favorites.

[michelej1]

Ha, everyone vote for Secret Love, in order to save YMBTO.

Michele

[tabruns]

Why the hell is everyone voting for YMBTO??? It's the best song on the album! It's made its way into my top 5 all time favorites.

Because people don't think it's as good as the remaining songs?

[Christopher]

Ha, everyone vote for Secret Love, in order to save YMBTO.

Michele

Yes. Secret Love is a nice little pop song, But YMBTO is sophistication from the 1st note to the last ("and we were Magic") It's probably more of an acquired taste for some, but imo it has the best vocal's from Stevie and the girls of all the tracks, with Moonlight a close second.:nod:

[KarmaContestant]

Yes, yes and yes.

I voted for Secret Love and Annabel Lee, this round.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

You May Be The One and Italian Summer

[ontheEdgeof17]

4 votes from saving YMBTO....:cool:

[tabruns]

I'm kind of surprised that "In Your Dreams" is doing relatively well. No one has really mentioned it as a favorite off the album.

[skcin]

I'm literally pissed about YMBTO getting so many votes!

Me too. :nod: That song is incredible.

Italian Summer on the other hand? :rolleyes: Well, it's still f*cking raining & I don't find that romantic at all, so...

[StevieNicksfann]

Since my fave track New Orleans is gone then You May Be The One and In Your Dreams to go

[Christopher]

Since my fave track New Orleans is gone then You May Be The One and In Your Dreams to go
*tsk tsk* this survivor is getting downright bitter.:lol:
btw I love New Orleans too, and did not vote for its dismissal once. Though one must admit, this has been one of the harder Stevie solo survivors - not only based upon the quality of these songs, but their fresh influence on our summer impressions.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Italian Summer on the other hand? :rolleyes: Well, it's still f*cking raining & I don't find that romantic at all, so...

If you were here, I'd put down my guitar and hand you a rose. :shrug:

[bombaysaffires]

Yes!

Moonlight? Blech.....

[Blueletter18]

"To make love" = oy! "Hey, it's so soulful!" = ditto!

Haha, I agree.

Yes, I agree. The genius of Dave's production on tracks such as Annabel Lee and Ghosts Are Gone is the way he gives us the feel of Stevie Live. Linds might have cut Annabel Lee to Rhiannon lengths, but live she would have given us the "I lie down" round. Now, we have that Stevie impulse recorded for posterity.

I voted Secret Love, which is lovely but not exactly earthshattering. And Wide Sargasso Sea, which I DO think is too long.

[mezzoforte]

I'm fascinated that YMBTO has gotten as many votes as Secret Love.

I've warmed to Secret Love after hearing it live, but that song still seems a touch immature and bland to me.
YMBTO is damn near flawless.

Secret Love and Italian Summer to go.

[CADreaming]

just looked at results so far...how are YMBTO and SL tied?? YMBTO far superior! :eek:

[tabruns]

just looked at results so far...how are YMBTO and SL tied?? YMBTO far superior! :eek:

Because "Secret Love" is actually the better song. :D

I actually like both of these a lot, I just get amused by the intensity of the YMBTO fans.
