Like or Dislike: Outside the Rain

[skcin]

Might be one of my top 20. The music gets me moving right away (I will admit to doing the girls' patented shoulder sway to this song.) It's not a tremendously powerful vocal really, with the exception of "I don't believe that" which I love, and "Look in my eyes..." It's softer, more dreamy.

Favorite lyric:

"Love is a word that some entertain, if you find it you have won the game"

But live? Live, it is glorious. I know some people think it's just so-so, and that she should drop it. I disagree. It's way more powerful than the album version - it's almost like they are two different songs, they have a totally different feel for me. And, of course, "Mick says Stevie this is just one more link in the chain" and "tellmeisthereanyoneinthiswholewideworldthatcaneverreplaceme" are priceless.

I also find it interesting how she went from "I don't believe that" to "I have to believe that." And I love the different reponses to "tellmeisthere......" over the years: "I don't think so" and "If so, then take it away" and "and if so, then take it away, take away that heartache"

Discuss.
