Yes, when Stevie said she gave Lindsey her songs for SYW, she said she was surprised that he hadn't heard them before, because she just assumed he'd heard everything she'd written. Lindsey clearly knew about
POTU and Sorcerer. The band had
Think About It, passed on
Smile At You. I think she probably
did offer FM a lot of her songs -- or even if she didn't offer, the songs were available to FM. Lindsey just took
The Chain. If he knew of something else she had that he wanted to work with, he would have taken that too. I don't think they were interested in a lot of her solo material.
As stellar as it is, given the chance, FM probably wouldn't have used EO17.
