HOLD ME isn't a breeze, either, but it isn't another matter altogether. There's no reason why it should be -- both take some work on the figures, & like a lot of Christine's songs, require some stamina to keep the figures rolling steadily.
Holding the pace/timing of Songbird is difficult. Though, I have not played a piano with any merit in decades. I think Stevie's stuff is hard when you try and keep her cadence. Then again, I suck at the piano
