The lyrics, the music, the arrangement, and her voice all make this song a true classic IMO. As someone said earlier the others versions are boring in comparision and don't convey nearly the emotion that this one does.

My very favorite part of the song is the last 1 1/2 minutes when it's just that particular guitar part (doo doo doo doo lol) and her beautiful voice singing "IIIIIIII turned around and the water was closing around me" doo doo doo doo. Sometimes I just listen to that part over and over. You know what part I'm talking about?

I know exactly what part you're talking about... it's such a different arrangement for a Stevie song.. which is part of the reason why i like it so much.. the ending sorta drifts away, slowly, with the strings playing in the background... Ms. Crow did a fine job producing both of the PM songs, imo...

and yes, a PM Crystal appreciation thread is definately in order
