With the point of choruses in Gypsy and Sara, there really aren't choruses too much lyrically, but musically there are, especially in Sara. If you put aside the lyrics to Sara, you really see that's it's not too much of a complicated song. Sara actually starts out with the musical chorus, as "Wait a minute baby, stay with me a while, said you'd give me light, but you never told me about the fire" is the same as "Said Sara, you're the poet in my heart, never change, never stop" and then there's added "but now it's gone..." But you can sing "Wait a minute baby..." right along when Stevie is singing "Said Sara," you just kind of have to find how it fits. And then, the chorus returns with "...in the sea of love, where everyone would just love to drown." It's subtle, but it's there.
I also think the guitar hook in Thrown Down is catchier...but don't confuse that with "better."
As far as assuming FM will redo Lindsey's songs, I don't think they'll "redo" very many of his songs at all. They may add or change a few things here and there, but Lindsey is pretty much his own producer, as we know. I just think Peacekeeper has more energy than Lindsey is giving us, A LOT more. And if Stevie and Lindsey are wailing at each other in this song, that'd make it all the better...it's definitely that kind of song, almost like The Chain or Go Your Own Way. Lindsey's singing is lazy on the version we have (he sounds a little flat to me), and for these reasons I'm HOPING they do more with it, but not assuming it.
