In Silver Springs, I admit that there is a lot of passion when they're screaming the words at each other and Lindsey's eyes get very big. Then they dropped Silver Springs during the Say You Will tour. I remember that some shows were cancelled coz of Stevie's voice around the same time. So I wondered why they dropped it and if that's why they dropped it. I thought if I was his wife, I would get a little nervous at the passion in that song. I know it's just a song tho. The other one was Say Goodbye when Stevie kind of gets this look at the end like "yep ok, it's over" but it was a kind of a sad look. I don't think there's anything going on between them but I think they have this really sad history and on stage, it can erupt. I have reasons for thinking there's nothing going on and I'm not pulling a Kel but I can't say exactly what they are. I need to talk about this with my aunt. She has been following Stevie/FM since they started. So I have ship moments but it doesn't add up for me. But I still love you.
On edit: I'm not a singer or a performer so I don't know but maybe the songs bring out some passion that would not usually be there. Stevie's songs make me feel passionate but there's not a camera on me to record those moments I'm singing along and I'm into it. Like on Live in Boston during Beautiful Child, it shows Jana singing "hold you" and she looks like she's in love, her eyes are closed and she's really into it. But she wouldn't have any attachment to that song at all. But she looks like she does. And I'll bet that if they had her singing Silver Springs with Lindsey, she would have to do it really with passion or the song would lost all the meaning even tho she has no attachment to him and is married to some other dude. That's just what I think.

I think maybe what began as an unscripted moment in The Dance became rote when they toured because it's what everyone wanted. I can sing kareoke to some drunk in a bar, and "feel" it for that moment, too. Having such a history with your musical partner is hard to totally disentangle from, tho.
