My favourite Stevie song by a looooooong way, one of my fav. FM songs, and one of my fav. songs ever by anyone. Its words, music and her voice are so perfect and well matched, I could listen to this song 100 times in a row and it would be just as powerful each time.

It's one of my favourite Stevie songs, but my favourite FM song isn't by Stevie.

Thumbs up I agree!
I think Storms is probably my favorite Stevie FM song, ever. The music...the lyrics...her voice...it's just awesome. There have been soooo many times I've put that song on repeat and just let it play. It's just seemed to "fit", in so many areas of my life.

The way she handles the song vocally is what does everything to me. She succesfully tries to express all the pain that goes through the song by an indescriptibly heartbreaking lead vocal. The background vocals in the chorus also help to stress that feeling. I love it when the music and the arrangements in a particular song help it to develop the lyrical part. I think in "Storms" that goal is completely achieved. One of my favorite Stevie songs, of course.


Song of the moment - You Make Loving Fun

Storms is a song with great lyrics and emotion. It just doesn't top Sara. I think the best song ever written by anybody is Sara. That song is just perfect.

I only got into the Mac about 6 months ago and never really gave Tusk much of a listen, when one day I listened to it properly and I nearly cried when I heard Storms. Aboulute genius. Probably my favorite song, along with the live version of Im so Afraid from The Dance.

Yep, DOR is correct, my most favorite song in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE is ISA from the Dance!! Lindsey is my fave member and it was Holiday Road/Dancin' Across the USA that got me involved in the Mac...

Storms...BEAUTIFUL song...one of my fave songs ever and fave Stevie FM songs.

WELCOME TO THE LEDGE, MANCROSE!!

"We were frail.....

Oooohhh.....

She said, 'Every night he will break your heart...'

I should have known from the first-

I'd be the broken-hearted....

I loved you from the start.....

Save us.....

And not all the prayers in the world could save us...."


It just kills me every time. Never have I heard heartbreak like this. I'm really hoping that the new album gives us something as real and true as this. Although, I am something of a dreamer....

P.S.: "Sara" is TOTALLY awesome .... Especially the extended-length "Cleaning Lady" version.

"And the wind became- it became...
CRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZYYYYY yeah...."

KILLER!!!
