I still call it "If Anyone Falls" as well.

I always say If Anyone Falls and, like someone else has already mentioned, I say Storms rather than I Have Always Been A Storm.

I think this is why it shines so much more by today's standards, and why Stand Back sounds so amazing now. I really wish she would do Nightbird now. I love that song but the tinny sounding synth on it detracts from the pure emotion of it. Someone had done an amazing keyboard instrumental of it on YouTube a while back and when I listen to the album track I always imagine what it would sound like with mostly piano and some strings, with live drums.

I do get what you are saying here...I feel that way about alot of stuff by other artists...but for some reason, Stevie's (and FM) songs, to me, never sound dated ... Maybe because I've been listening pretty much non stop since 1979 haha! That's not to say that I haven't taken an occasional break, or don't listen to anything else, but never for too long ... And as for Nightbird...while I would LOVE to see it live, or have a new version...the original is pretty much perfection to my ears...that's not to say, however, that I am not THRILLED with the new cd...I do love the more 'rocking' aspects of IAF on this cd...and you are right...Stand Back kicks butt!!! Truly, Stevie's voice on this recording is amazing...and I was watching the DVD finally yesterday and just loving it so freakin' much!
