Completely agree with both of you. I always HATED/DESPISED/LOATHED the stupid demo of "Secret Love" for YEARS! Still do, actually. But the finished product from IYD is GOLD for me! I love it! I think it sounds great with her current, lower register. And I love what Dave (and the C.E.O. of Warners, I think ~ the guy who put the nice acoustic guitar part on the last half of the second verse and gave it a nice finishing touch, whoever he was) did with the music. I'm still not a huge fan of "Annabel Lee" (it just goes on and on ~ it's about 2 minutes too long) but I think it was a vast improvement over the demo.
Again, "Starshine" was never a favorite demo of mine and apparently never a favorite of a lot of you on this forum, but like Tothegyspsy said, maybe we should all keep an open mind.
