fall from grace vs Everybody Finds out
 

Everybody finds out wins for me, I give them both 5/5 though.

I find them to be similar songs personally.

It's a close call for me too. I would say that I'm STILL slightly partial to "Fall From Grace"

Arghhh! What a tough question!:laugh:

I can't choose. I love them both. EFO is like a continuation of the story, lol. They're both awesome songs....and I wish they'd do FFG instead of Stand Back and EFO instead of Rhiannon on the new tour. :D

I love Fall From Grace... but I do have to say Everybody Finds Out - WOW! WOW!!!!!!!!!! Stevie still ROCKS and that song will prove different to anyone who says otherwise!

Everybody Finds Out...I can't get enough of it. Truly one of Stevie's all time greats IMO :nod:

I am probably the only person who liked, but was not in love, with Fall From Grace. It just did not do it for me in an extreme way musically. Conversely, I love EFO and think it is one of her best works in years and there have been many.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone else get a Christine vibe in Fall From Grace - possibly referring to what went down when Christine decided not to extend the tour. Just a thought and my $0.02:cool:

I can see where you are coming from Strand. I love the kick and the lyrics, but I agree that musically it goes on one note for a while when Stevie is singing.

EFO - WOW. Again WOW!

My 10 yr old daughter, Megan Sara, listened to EFO for the first time and she just LOVES the old radio-LP sound when Stevie sings "Well I know you dont agree". In fact, lol, in the car this morning she was asking for just that one part! Too funny, my little gypsy is...


EFO is re: Don Henely, from what I can gather... any other suggestions or ideas?

For some reason I never really loved Fall From Grace. I liked the ending really, but the song just never clicked with me. I have to say I looooooooooooooooove Everyone Finds Out. I love Stevie's voice and I also love the background of Lindsey in this song!
This song rocks!!

I have always thought this song was about Christine. "It's not enough that you *Say You Love Me*", "the applause from it all was so defining", and not all the kings horses, not all the kings men could ever put FM back together.

Everybody Finds Out, NO CONTEST.

Definitely a tough choice.

Stevie's performance of "Fall From Grace" on the 2001 Blockbuster Awards was ferocious.
She definitely stole the show that night. :D

I think I have to go with "Everybody Finds Out" though.

"When nobody sees them... at least not together... She rarely goes out! She spends every day, waiting for the day... when everybody finds out!"

I would have to go with FFG. I have always interpreted this song (much to the chagrin of the 'shippers in our midst!) as Stevie taking what happened onstage during the Dance as a signal that there could be something between her and Lindsey again, but Lindsey not following through. I had a long interp typed up once...I'll post if I can find it. :)

I just got the CM vibe because Stevie sings "Its not enough that you 'SAY YOU LOVE ME'" and that reminded me of CM as it is her line and SN said the song was about being in FM during The Dance tour. In the end, whomever it is about, she sure is sharp with her words - "Its not enough that you depend on me . . . " OUCH!!:D

Yeah, a lot of people say that about the "say you love me" line, and I admit, who among us can hear those 4 words in succession and not think of CM? But I just don't think that's what's going on...I found that interp, and it's not even that long!

"There is so much going on/You could easily/Wake up with a stranger"...She thought something was going on, but Lindsey basically said it wasn't what she thought...leading nicely into...

"You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high"

Sounds like he was playing up the whole "Silver Springs" thing
while on stage for the crowd, that the moment was too much for him to resist, and she believed it, but to him it was a show.

"And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense?
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door"

She can't believe it was all nothing; she took the effort to reinvest herself in him and she ended up "in the same place as before" watching him "walk out that door".

"I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only"

Again, he was acting the part, and she bought it...

"Well, it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face"

...somebody wasn't following through on his words...

"Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie"

...after she got the "Look, Stevie, things are never gonna be the same" speech. Maybe it was all in her head, but she doesn't really think so...

And another bit...

Or maybe it really did go a little too far, and Lindsey woke up one morning like "Whoa! I can't do this again!" Maybe she got all "Stevie" on him one night ("One night in a world of pain/ and you finally understand"?) and knew in that moment that "not all the king's horses and all the kings men could put it back together". And in that moment he blamed it on "Silver Springs" like moments on stage...I REALLY think there's some aspect of the concerts in here ("What people will do to get this high"). Didn't she once say this song was about touring with FM?


Just one reporter's opinion...

Cool interpretation. That is what I love and hate about her lyrics, they can mean so many things to different people. One of these days Stevie and I need to have a long talk :cool:
