Too long and sprawling of an epic really .The same with TISL.

I think I Will Run to You would have made a great single! If I remember correctly, Nightbird didn't chart too high as a single? I am one of those that isn't crazy about the song and I would even say it probably shouldn't have been a single ...) Out of all the choices here, including my original of Sable on Blond, I think I Will Run to You would have ranked the highest ... it's a good song and it has the duet factor to boot.

I love Wild Heart, but the only problem I think it would have had being a single, is they would have cut it down in length, and the "Wild Heart wail" would have been cut out and that's the best part!

I agree with ya there. I Will Run To You is great, I cannot believe it was left off of Enchanted. While I love Nightbird, it's a little too magic-fairie-dusty for it to have been a successful single.

Other than "Stand Back" & "Sable On Blond(e)", there really isn't anything on Wild Heart that was "radio friendly" (AM or "Hit" radio, that is...of course, many hip FM stations played the crap outta various songs on the album).

Wild Heart has always been one of my absolute favorite songs ever. I love it. The whole album is an all-time fave for me.

On Street Angel, i think Kick It should have been a single. One radio station played it a few times and it sounded great on the air.

Where's the barf emoticon??? Sorry, but I can't stand Kick It....I always thought Listen to the Rain would have been a great single...and I know a lot of people hate that song, to each his own!

Wild Heart as a single would have been interesting. I agree, it's a little choppy to be radio friendly, but it's still "an epic" of a song, as Tom Petty would say....great vocals on it!
