I enjoy the "angry" version, and the less-discussed "softer" version... but the album version blew me away.
The "angry" version, while great, was somewhat standard in its arrangement. A great song, but not an AMAZING song.
The new direction Lindsey took it for 'Say You Will,' propelled it to that "amazing" category.
Everything about it is aces. Stevie's voice and lyrics... Lindsey's production, guitars and Middle-Eastern touches... John's throbbing bassline... Mick's subtle drumming on the choruses... Perfection.
