There is a lot to like about SAY YOU WILL, and that is precisely the problem. Because of the sheer volume of content, the intense tone of the songs, coupled with the moody,steely production techniques, the songs kind of get lost and are harder to appreciate. Lindsey left no room to breathe.
After much thought and editing to make the songs more approachable, this was my idea: (despite knowing this is useless speculation -- just mindful chatter to delay thinking about more important things...things I can control!)
Side one
1. Say You Will (single mix)
2. Miranda
3. Thrown Down
4. Peacekeeper
5. Running through the Garden
6. Come
Side two
1. Destiny Rules
2. What’s the World Coming To
3. Smile at You
4. Murrow Turning Over in his Grave
5. Everybody Finds Out
6. Steal Your Heart Away
The six songs retracted from the album,when,combined with the two studio outtakes and two live cuts featured on the bonus disc from the deluxe version, you have pretty much another album. This could have been a nice after-the-tour release to fill in the wide gap of time to follow. (Wish I could think of a creative title for the companion album, but I'm at a loss at the moment.But then again, this is all just a dream scenario).
1. Peacekeeper (live)
2. Illume
3. Bleed to Love Her
4. Silver Girl
5. Love Minus Zero/No Limits
6. Not Make Believe
7. Red Rover
8. Goodbye Baby
9. Say Goodbye
10. Say You Will (live)
