One more way she positioned herself as a team player, to her own effacement. The original version of Brown Eyes (Yesterday’s Tears) features a stunning Christine vocal, along with some killer Green guitar. But as much as I am grateful for that version on the Deluxe, the final version, with far less words, a more pronounced sexiness, and hush vocals on the verses, does work wonderfully. The song is one serious mood. Lindsey’s choices on it help that mood…
But that was Christine, always welcoming others into her songs without losing the potency of her own humble presence. Think About Me and Honey Hi work so well because of the group participation they invite.
