I'm sure this song will not do anything to quell the rumors about Stevie occasionally swimming in the lady-pond, but it's obvious she doesn't much care about the consequences- it's the most romantic song ever sung from one woman to another.

lady-pond So I also was never a fan of the demo and was less than thrilled when I heard this song made the album but I gotta say it's one of my favs on IYD. I've only listened to the CD once so but I really, really enjoyed Annabel Lee. I love what Dave/Glenn did with it. It's quite rocking!! I never thought I'd like the song but I do!!
