In retrospect, and maybe at the time, a really happy song was what Say you will lacked.Even without Christine being there, you would have thought that one or other of Stevie or Lindsey might have tried to lift the mood a little. I suppose it's an angsty album, post 9/11 and in the Iraq war era: songs about abortions and Ed Murrow aren't going to lift the gloom. I suppose Stevie tried with the title song, self-consciously trying to imitiate Christine a little in her chirpiness but it's just a bit naff and cringey.
