Not so much Lindsey's songs. But Running Through the Garden, Say You Will and Thrown Down are definitely produced with commercial appeal in mind. Steal Your Heart Away and What's the World Coming To (especially the latter) are to some extent as well.

Interesting aspects. I thought about that too and wouldn't have counted WTWCT in this commercial categorie. In my opinion the singles like Peacekeeper and Say you will are these obvious attempts of grabbing the masses or being the hit singles. I always thought this song was an attempt to recreate a certain sound a la Monday morning. He did the same thing with Twist of fate, which was my "Monday morning"or "WTWCT of the GOS compilation. Call it an appetizer for the long term fans who like this sound and who probably need to struggle with "Come" or "Murrow".
Concerning the commercial success aspect--- every FM album and even the LB albums have their hit single attempts. The difference to me is that these other albums have a certain basic ground structure and sound. There is a TITN sound. There is a OOTC sound. There is of course a "TUSK" sound (although for me Christines approach doesn't fit on the concept of the album, in difference to f.e. Mirage or TITN) But SYW is lacking of this sound. It's a puzzle, a song compilation, a caleidoscope but not an album in the old fashioned sense. I like most of the songs very much and I believe there is no real clunker except of SG. (and BTLH still didn't belong there) Gaius, Chili D, Nancy and some others already gave a hint how this incoherent production problem could have been handled (but not solved)- the setlist.
I hope this post helps you to understand every aspect of the song "When I see you again". I did my best to clarify it and think I did so pretty good.
