Anyone else having a hard time listening to anything but IYD - Page 2

IYD had a shelf life of 3 weeks for me. I've moved on to my regular scheduled programming and listen to IYD occasionally.

Personally I don't really want to listen to anything else. I keep hearing new things in each song with repeated listening. That's one of the best things about Stevie's music for me. Lyrics take on new meaning, especially if I listen from what I think is her perspective -- lots of that needed for me for New Orleans. I find myself humming or singing some catchy phrases in my head at random times - even when just waking up. I love hearing elements of Traveling Wilbury's/ Petty, something that starts to sound like I Sing for the Things and a very Fleetwood Mac-sounding title track. And dare I say "Puff the Magic Dragon" at the beginning of Annabel Lee. And when did I EVER think she'd use violins! I'm so obsessed that my students get bonus points on their final exams this week for figuring out "who is the 62 yo female singer hall of famer, rock chick who just released a new CD after a decade...and go buy it!"

This album brought me back to these boards after a 3 (4?) year absence, because it's the only thing that's been coming out of every speaker in my car and house!

I've tried switching on the radio, but after a few mins I just go back to the cd! I will say I'm still not crazy about the sequence; it sounds better on shuffle I've decided...

You lasted that long??? I haven't listened to the album for over a week. I'm working my way through the 3,500 songs that iTunes says I have never listened to. When I get through them in about two months I might go back and listen to IYD.

LOL... I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who tries to listen to all those tracks that have zero play counts in iTunes/on an ipod.

I totally get where you're coming from Hawkeye. These new songs are slowly becoming etched into my brain and I just want more and more of them!

I can never get enough of Stevie and FM, Lindsey and Christine solo too, I am right now listening to Street Angel and I can never over play Stevie and FM,Christine and Lindsey and Heart too. Can't get enough of IYD too.

I can hear Stevie singing Love is Like A River in concert would be awesome on this tour if she wants take out some gems she has not done live before

I can definitely listen to other stuff besides IYD. Perhaps that's why I haven't tired of the CD yet.

That and the fact that I dearly love the title track and "Ghosts Are Gone" but "Soldier's Angel" "Wide Sargasso Sea" and "Moonlight" all find some of their lyrics have seeped into my brain helps. I do find I skip "Secret Love" A LOT, perhaps because we heard plenty of it in the days leading up to IYD and I've tried to spend the time discovering all the new material.

But yeah, I'm definitely not burned out on IYD by any stretch.

For the most part, yes! The thing for me, fortunately, is that I have my own song writing to turn to when I need a break from it!!

I've actually written two songs since IYD was released. Lyrics only, but still.

Me too, I even pulled out the 'Other Side of the Mirror' the same night I got the new CD and it had been awhile.

It is weird, I really am not a fan -overall- of this album.

I love 5 songs, and can't stand the rest...

BUT, the songs I love- Moonlight, In Your Dreams, Annabel Lee, Ghosts are Gone, and Secret Love are so good that I am listening to THEM over and over. Especially Moonlight. It is sprawling. Love it so much.

I tell myself every day that I'm going to listen to something else and give the album a break, but that never ends up happening.

Though I did take a break today and listened to some Christine McVie.

I've listened to it so, so much between the Rolling Stone stream and finally getting my copy. I've just actually switched it off. Not because I'm sick of it (FAR from it!) but I decided to listen to the new Alison Krauss and Union Station album again. I'm alternating between them. Bliss...

I have so many new albums to listen to. Alison, Stevie, kd Lang, Emmylou Harris... Stevie mostly though!

By the way louie, I quoted you because I saw your avatar pic and thought for a minute that I had already contributed to this thread but couldn't remember! I got confused... I was drinking at a freind's wedding yesterday after all!

No, I find it easy to listen to other things too. Since I'm constantly listening to music no matter what I'm doing (Besides work,) I have time to listen to the whole album and then whatever tickles my fancy. It's not getting old for me though. But I usually listen to at least half of it everyday.
