I find it ironic that I threw a fit over Stevie only having one song... Yet the only song on the album I don't like was her song. lol. Maybe it's because i'm so used to the young, beautiful version of Without You.. I just can't handle her vocals. It sounds like it's either a bad take or she was sick or something. Her background vocals on all the LB songs are gorgeous. I don't know why I can't get into Without You.
Anyway I love the rest of the EP, and it's not overproduced and too busy like SYW was. My favorite is Miss Fantasy. I think the lyrics are beautiful and somewhat heartbreaking. Lindsey can crush my emotions with his words, ugggh.
Think it's time to throw this quote back out. Good explanation of Miss Fantasy:
“I was thinking of Stevie when I was putting these together. Many of the songs I came up with were directed at Stevie. Miss Fantasy is a look back on…it’s talking about having a dream, recalling certain events that occurred years and years ago. The chorus is talking about ‘Miss Fantasy, it may be that you don’t remember me, but I remember you.’ That’s addressing all that’s happened over the course of time. You remember the person you were and the person I was back then? Is there any way to find any of that? Do we want to? Is it important to? Those are the songs about Stevie and me.”
