Can you beleive it has been 2 years since SYW came out (April 15, 2003)? It doesn't seem that long to me. So, now that we have had the album for several years, what are everyones feelings on the album?

I am finding the album more and more romantic as time goes on. When you really start listening to the lyrics you can really understand all the layers. Like SYW- it such a romantic song. Being so in love with someone that "you become someone else in an instant" is just such a cool thought. A lot of the songs I never liked, like Red Rover, I am now in love with. Thrown Down is another song I was never too keen on. But I love it now! The lyrics are so beautiful.

What are your thoughts on the album after all this time?

I think the lyrics to the song SYW are brilliant and they make me and others at once just feel happy, which is what she said her intent was in that she was writing about being in love so much that you just want to burst into song because you are so happy.

I think SYW is the end of an era. It is not my fav. record by them, but it is one I cherish.

It is a happy little song isn't it?

What do you mean the end of the era? And don't say they will never make a record again because I will start crying!

I think age must be considered. At the historical rate they go, LB and La Nicks will be at least 60 and Mick even older. Not that they cannot be great at that age, but a long long world tour would be more difficult. Plus, they are not exactly in a hurry now to get back together. So, we shall see. Personally, I would love one more record.

I'm as enamoured with the album as ever. Still listen to it almost as frequently as I did when it was first released.

Even the three songs I wasn't wild about... "Red Rover," "Silver Girl," and "Say Goodbye"... have all grown on me considerably.
(I should say that I always loved the lyrics and vocals for "Say Goodbye," I just wasn't crazy with the way Lindsey chose to approach the song. I felt that the vocal melody and the guitar melody sounded as if they were going two different directions, and worked against each other. So I used one of my computer programs to slow it down a *smidge*... similar to the tempo of the live versions... and it's now a favorite.)

It's a great album, and, much like 'Tusk,' it requires an investment from its listeners... but it pays off in spades.

HB, Say You Will! I really like this album, I think it is stellar. It's been on heavy rotation on my ishuffle. Except Silver Girl, of course...Lindsey's contributions are especially brill, IMO. I can't get enough of Miranda, Steal Your Heart Away (which makes me both happy and sad, and the melody is just gorg.) Murrow, Come, Red Rover. Uberyummy. And from La Nicks, RTTG, Thrown Down, Goodbye Baybeh...so, so, lovely. *sigh*. <3

That's exactly what I think about Say Goodbye! I think the guitar is brill, the vocal is brill, but together I don't love them.
