I love this song...very creepy in a cool way...the lyrics are literal on one hand and very cryptic on the other. I think Stevie's vocal is amazing in this song...she is able to convey the emotion of the song perfectly.

I never think of it off the top of my head as a fave, but whenever I hear it, I remember how much I like it. Obviously, it needs work, it sounds incomplete to me. But the darkness & urgency is there.

Parts of it are great. But then there is the redundancy of it that starts to grate on me. That's the only thing that kept me from calling it Gold and glitter.

This song is great. I wish all Stevie's songs were like this & Crystal.

I like it - one of the better Stevie demos/outtakes - but as someone said, it needs alot of work....

It needed some pruning, obviously, but it's a favorite.

I hardly ever listen to it and I don't even know the words except when she says "Joan of Arc" in the song, so maybe it isn't fair of me to vote?? I voted that I don't like it. That's probably why I don't listen to it all that much.

I love it, it's one of my all time favourites. I think it proved once again how powerful Stevie songwriting can be.

It's always impossible to say for sure, but this could quite possibly be my favorite Stevie song, period. Undoubtedly should have been on Tango.
