"Hold Me" Early Version

Has anyone else downloaded this yet? It's great!

I love the long beautiful piano intro. I've always enjoyed Stevie's prominent BGV's on Christine's songs, like on the outtake of "Oh Daddy" (which, in my opinion is better than the album cut).

I also love the extended lyric, "Hold me like a good man should..."

I'm guessing after this became a Chris/Lindsey song, they dropped the "like a good man should" part because of the implications of a man singing it, even if it was her song.

Sounds great here, though, as a Chris/Stevie song!

I've never heard this before.

I can't wait to hear it. I love when Stevie sings more on Christine songs. Oh Daddy is a great vocal for them. Straight Back is another example.

Is this the version we've already heard from the bootlegs, or is this different?

I'm not sure. I'm big into the bootlegs, but I'd never heard this before today.

It's AMAZING! It's the "Like a good man should" vocal we've heard before -- but with LOTS of Stevie and guitars. Feels like a sister to "Think about me"

Stevie is on fire on this! Love it!!!!!!
