Thrown Down!
 

on AOL First Listen...

LOVE the "You say you're sorry..." verse! Oh my gosh! Freakin' love it!

Not as happy with the end... "About how difficult it had been..." Liked it better with Lindsey on the high harmonies.

Can anyone send it to me?? Pretty please?

is this the first version of the song that was floating around or the second one with the verse "shaking your faith in me....etc"
???

Well, Ms. Nicks certainly pulled a high vocal out for this one!!!! I love the sparse arragement as compared to the "wall of sound" one.

Excellent, excellent song!!

I am so glad that they kept the "original" lyrics - and I do like the addition of the "shakin' your faith" verse.

Must....not....listen...trying....to....restrain....myself...waiting for album.....

Ugh! Y'all are making this very difficult...:D

Thanks Jamie!! I love it of course, and its probably my favorite song of the ones weve gotten to hear entirely from the new CD.

But is it me, or does it seem that they have edited and clipped these songs as to make 18 songs fit onto one CD....I was expecting at least a little guitar solo or break in the singing...and the finale seems to fade way too quickly as well....they chopped (or butched, as Stevie has complained before) this song to clock at barely over 4 minutes...the leaked alternate (wall of sound) version from last fall was 4:40.

This really makes me wonder when the decision to make the new CD a single - some of the neccesary editing to make this happen on Stevie's and probably Lindsey's songs (plus the 5 that were discarded entirely, of course except "Not Make Believe") ...is also why Stevie is seeing this CD through "dark colors" .:distress:

UGH!!!
 

I'm at work now and the system here won't let me play the song....damn!


anyway, what is the "wall of sound" version?

the very first version i heard started off with the drum roll and DIDN'T have the "shakin your faith in me..." verses. the second verse went right into "you say your sorry..."

the second version i heard started off with a solo guitar and DID have the "shakin your faith in me" verses but it was only about 2 minutes long.

which of the above is the "wall of sound" version everyone talks about? And, therefore, which is the one on AOL?

Thanks!!!!!

Joe-the leaked outtake, that began w/ the drum roll and doesn't contain the "shakin the faith " lyric is the one commonly referred around here as the "Wall of Sound " version, with its big guitar sound and more aggressive arrangement, also containg the background vocals (by Sharon/Mindy??)

The CD version is more beautifully sparse and subtler in its arrangement. It begins w/ the guitar and contains the new "shakin the faith in me" lyric on the 2nd verse. I'm happy to report it does not contain additional background vocals by anyone other than Stevie and Lindsey. But the edit seems obvious to these ears on the final version.

Thanks Jamie!!!

Thanks so much for explaining that to me....although i liked the wall of sound version i prefer the cd version...as a matter of fact when i first heard the cd version i loved it 10 times more. i'm glad it's the final version!!!


:thumbsup:

Thanks for posting this, Jamie! Much appreciated by us Non-AOL'ers.

Yes, this sounds very truncated. It starts fading out way early. I hadn't thought about them shortening songs to fit them on 1 CD, but that's exactly what this sounds like...almost like a radio edit.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I don't like this version much at all. Stevie sounds great - her vocals are top notch. But the "Wall of Sound" version was a solid rocker. This one is just sleepy, kinda like the original demo from TISL.

Darn....guess I'll have to give all my love to Destiny Rules and Steal Your Heart Away for now...

There seems to be a problem with the sound on the first minute of the mp3.
