Although, tenses and making sense never really bothered Stevie's songwriting, so maybe she just needed to fit a word in there... works with "what I seem to want..."

Well, you couldn't say that to Bob Dylan.

Sorry - couldn't resist.

I like it ok. It's pretty good. The thing I like most about it, now, is how it's prophetic. She wrote it before she was famous, but it's all mapped out there. I like how it makes me think stevie really had a plan, and stuck to it. And how she already knew how she would feel when it all happened to her. That kind of ambition and emotional planning makes me happy.

I like this song ok. Not the best or the worst. Neutral.

I love it. My favorite Stevie song is Twisted and on the Enchanted tour, I thought she blew that one big time. The song, tried to stay true to the demo, instead of LB's fantastic production...Anyhoo, ATGF was one of those songs that I totally enjoyed during that tour. I loved how Stevie came out in that beautiful reddish dress and her vocals were so heartfelt. Mindy Stein added so much to this song live...I remember really feeling blown away by it in 98. Completely the opposite from the feeling I got from Twisted. Love....hate. High...low.
I always liked it on the BD album too but after seeing it live in 98, it took the song to a whole new level for me.

Remember years ago debating what the line "the loneliness of a one night stand is hard to take" mean? I always felt that line referred to gigs, ....but so many people thought it was a sexual encounter. Funny!
