I am listening to the demo of SAY, the non-angry version and THIS is the version that Lindsey built on. It's got the "ahhhh" in it, sounding like the SYW version, and that tambo (?) sound shaking throughout the song is like the ticking sound in the new version. Also, the pacing is similar, so I'm wondering if Miss Stevie even GAVE him the angry version to listen to, or if she only gave him this one. Perhaps, she felt the angry one was where she DID NOT want to go because of their obvious, strong friendship now? Who knows?
Also, SYW is a non-angry type of album really, it may not have fit in with her screaming "FLAMING, FLAMING, FLAMING!!!!"
Too harsh perhaps.
Now, I love ALL versions of this song, it's one of her BEST of the BEST, IMO. I just happened to notice this just now taking a listen to it.
