Never Forget was the perfect song to END the album."WE will never forget tonight. It will be alright." (Perfect ending, saying so long type of song).

Sure sounds like Christine singing with herself on the verses to me. Listen to the line "When you look at me with those brown eyes/what do you want to say" and it's very clear. Lindsey's in there too, but there's more than one Chris.

So I was just thinking about this, how the tracking of Tusk could have been different, for some strange reason.

What if the album had instead been called Storms and looked like this? Do we have a more commercially accessible album, hypothetically? The title Storms seems more thematically unifying than Tusk.

Side 1
What Makes You Think You're The One
Think About Me
Sara
The Ledge
Over & Over
Sisters of the Moon

Side 2
Tusk
Storms
Never Make Me Cry
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Brown Eyes
Beautiful Child

If Tusk were to be split into two volumes, I think it would've been okay like this;

Volume 1
Think About Me
The Ledge
Over & Over
Not That Funny
Sara
The Ledge
Brown Eyes
Sisters Of The Moon
Save Me A Place
Storms

Volume 2
Tusk
Angel
That's Enough For Me
What Makes You Think You're The One
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Never Make Me Cry
Honey Hi
Beautiful Child
Walk A Thin Line
Never Forget

However, when a friend asked for a shorter version featuring more casual friendly tracks, this is what I gave him;

Over & Over
Angel
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Think About Me
Sara
What Makes You Think You're The One
Sisters Of The Moon
Brown Eyes
Not That Funny
Storms
Tusk
Never Forget

[He's So Unusual]

Side A.

1. Over & Over
2. Save Me a Place
3. Think About Me
4. Sara
5. I Know I'm Not Wrong
6. Storms

Side B.

1. Sisters of the Moon
2. Brown Eyes
3. Honey Hi
4. That's All for Everyone
5. Beautiful Child
6. Tusk

Part of the magic of Tusk is how epic it is, so breaking it down to just a single album would have actually hurt sales, I think.

But I've always wondered how the band would have done that. I pretty much figure that "Sara" and "Sisters of the Moon" would have been 2 of Nicks' three tracks but I'm clueless which of the remaining three would have made the cut.
