"Jane" has dreadful lyrics and a dull vocal, and on "When I See You Again" Stevie sounds like an old bagpipe and it's both musically and lyrically rather uninspiring.

I do like WTTRS though

I think of "When I See You Again" as a song that never realized its potential. The verse about staring at stairs is sophomoric, but I actually think the verse about dreams is beautifully painful (painfully beautiful?). And even the stairs verse conveys some feeling of bereftness, drifting and aimless in one's loneliness. Stevie was always a dreamer and this song has her dream on its last gasping breath, I can't help but be moved by it, but lyrically and vocally it needs retooling.

omg that made my tea come out my nose!!

with regard to WISYA... I always wondered if it was written about her breakup with Kim. I guess it was the line "if she sees him again/will your very best friend/will your very best friend/have been replaced by some other"
Like as long as Kim was with her, it wasn't like he'd replaced Robin or something...you know, in Stevie-logic. Just a thought.

I was just reading about this Everywhere cover:

http://stereogum.com/1260711/selebri...ac-cover/mp3s/

As a kind of Valentine’s Day gift to the world, the Brooklyn-based designer-pop trio Selebrities have covered Fleetwood Mac’s 1987 trifle “Everywhere,” enlisting New York singers Erika Spring and Lissy Trullie to help out on the spectral harmonies. If you’re familiar with the original, you know that its soft deep-chiffon vibe, which sounds extraordinarily 2013, cannot be an easy thing to replicate it, but Selebrites, more or less, nail it. Listen below.
