Love Is.
I really loved this song when TISL came out. Then I heard the demo. Now I never listen to the released TISL version. The demo is so much more emotional.
Destiny (the long Wild Heart outtake).
Again, so much more emotional than the bland version on Street Angel. But it has to be the long version, not the edited version. It's so cool because just when you think the song is over, here comes that drum beat and then you get to sing along to "crying, in the morning" for another twenty minutes! (exagerating just a little).
Candlebright.
Much better with Lindsey than with Sheryl.
Totally agree about Sweet Girl... the demo is killer.
And I agree about Goodbye Baby, too. But I think that's because of Lindsey's production, and not the addition of the new lyrics. I like the new lyrics. But that "ticky-tocky" production and the whispered vocal just suck the sentiment right out of the words.
But a little off-topic... Goodbye Baby... why does everyone call the demo "The Tower"? Is it just because Maureen Loftus did? All the reel-to-reel tapes from the 1970's clearly label the title as "Goodbye Baby" right on the boxes. I know because I own two of them.
