Yeah. It's not really all that hard or tough.

I LOVE Talk To Me. Great to sing to. Her vocals are amazing. Would love for her to do it live.

I need to go listen to it now.

I never liked TTM, not even when it was popular on the radio. Now I don't hate it because there is not 1 song on RAL I hate but it's only one step above that. I find the lyrics to be extremely annoying (though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek" PULEEEEEASE) and I'm the queen of cheese and could not picture Stevie saying half the things she says in this song. The line I cannot stand the most is "A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect". I always picture an open sore oozing with puss or something it's just totally gross. Don't like the music one bit.

Now the good part - the vocal performance on the album is stunning and I love her voice when she says "to veil a swelling tear". Classic RAL Stevie! It also happens to be one of my favorite videos. It's so cute to see her actually doing a little dance routine. I wish we could see more of that and she looks so freakin gorgeous I could die. I also like the live versions, both RAL and SA. I wish some other songs that she actually wrote had been released instead of this one although it was a huge hit for her. I Can't Wait was enough.

I'm just so-so about it. I think the other Waite song -- Missing You -- is vastly superior & cooler. I wish Stevie had been given THAT one to do.

But that drum at the beginning scares the crap out of me every time if I have the stereo up too loud.

Which reminds me of the review -- I think it was in Cream -- of "Talk to Me" . . . does anyone remember? The critic said something about how the most amazing drum track was recorded . . . & for what? a crappy Stevie Nicks song! He also said something funny about the "swelling tear" phrase where she sort of does a Hitchcockian simultaneous pullback & tracking shot, & sort of throws up in her throat.

Please could someone dig up that review? I'd love to read it again.

You & I, we like all the same songs on Rock a Little, & we dislike the same ones, too. WEIRD!!

i thought she looked super hot in the video, i loved the straight, two-toned hair & the part where she is dancing w/ what looks to be giant peppermint candies

Hrm. What can I say that hasn't been said?

I just want to add that this song is NOTHING without the sax. Any Stevie song with a sexy sax is out of this world amazing.

Best Version: HOB '94....with the extra "ew ew's" in the middle, in battle with the sax.

Dullsville. Really, really weak. The only thing that saves it from being bottom of the barrel is her live version of it on the RAL tour.
