The next morning, I had breakfast, put on my bathing suit and went outside in the backyard. We had a huge stereo system all through the house, so I laid down in the sun with the lyrics and went through the whole thing...side one and then side two.
I was in tears, I thought it was fantastic. It's still one of my all time favorite releases ever. The Wild Heart is a symphony to me.
3 months later, she came to Austin. Joe Walsh opened for her and it was an amazing show. But thats another thread.

Well said. I agree about having the lyrics with you. I had it first on a casette, and I still have the little lyric book.

I think your judgement is better than whoever was making the decisions back then. It sounds like an good single choice to me also. But unfortunately, I always hear people who don't like it. I think opinion is split on that song. But to me, it is a great sequel duet. One thing I would definitely change about it is eliminate the synthesizers from it. Country music and synthesizers do not mix. And the beginning few seconds should have been scrapped and redone somehow.

I think it was right after:
"Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart"

This CD is in heavy rotation in my car, and I'm jkust loving it. I go through WH phases, but I didn't love it all when I first got it...took about 3 listens to really dig it.

I like "Stand Back" "Wild Heart" "Sable on Blonde" and "Beauty and the Beast", but the rest of the album I can take or leave. As an album, it is not that great. 3.5/5...
