Default If I Were You
I just want to let you guys know that this has to be one of my favorite Stevie songs. And it is my favorite track off of Rock A Little. I love the lyrics to this song and I love her vocals on it. And it has that awesome '80s sound to it.

What are your thoughts on this song?

I love this song! One of the best on Rock A Little, it should have been a single.

The whole Rock a Little album is amazing, and this song is one of the tops. It's very nice.

I think it would have been a great pick for the 3rd single (HAEWAFY just wasn't a great choice to follow up a rocker like ICW). Pure 80s pop delight.

If I Were You is my favorite song off of Rock a Little. I love the lyrics and I love the vocal.

The best part:
"Well I believe that love is a living thing
Born into our destinies
From a single moment of inspiration
And as it grows it changes our lives forever...forever"

Love it! It has great energy. And I like that part she sings as the song fades out. Sounds like it may have been a Stevie ad-lib.

When the songs starts, it reminds me of a door bell in a 1970's house. Or a game show theme song. I love Sister Honey and all of it's funk. But If I Were You makes me wince a little now. Not sure if it's stood the test of time.


If I Were You, I'd think about listening to some new music. Like the new Wilco album!
