When I See You Again. Saddest SN song?

[eclipse]

When I See You Again is my fav FM song....It summarizes Stevie and Lindsey's relationship completely.
Remember she wrote this as she was going away to Betty Ford (the first time) for her coke addiction...
I think she was frightened to death !!!!
About her voice, her future , without drugs and cigaretts, her writing influences, you can feel very creative when you are high, and she was going away to give that up...What would happen to her? ...And mostly..
her Lindsey....

I think it's soul bearing, raw, incredible vunerable, frightened ,honest and just heart wrenching lyrics that she was completely feeling, when she wrote it. More than any other song she has written.
And her vocals were not great at that time, she was checking into Betty for a reason... and that is why she sounds so bad.

I mean think about if it were you.
You have been with the same man since you were 17, for good or bad- He has ALWAYS been there with her. And he keeps saying
"What's a matta baby? over and over-cuz he knows she is not his Stevie!, not in this state. She sings the lyric, but I think it is his question. So,
Now, she is leaving, and what if it's not the same when she comes back?,
will he still love her? will he still be her best friend? whether they are fighting or laughing, or whatever...at this point I think she still consideres him her best friend--------- Or will she have been replaced by another?

Hard lyrics to write, forget about sing without having emotion in your voice!
I also love the ending when Lindsey sings back to her while he is playing the accoustic guitar...It is so fitting- It is where they started and now they may be parting...
She says..."When I see you again, will it be the same?"
He says..."IF I see you again, will it be the same?"
Two very different questions.

This has always been my favorite soing to discuss (besides Frozen Love) In reality I think it is only the 2nd song they sing lyrics back and forth to each other....I could talk about this song all day...I love the intensity
Anyone else?

I read your entire description months ago and loved it as well. THis part is my favorite. because yes, the questions are different. there is so much longing in this song and a sense of things will never be the same.......
Its beautiful and tragic and so in the moment that you can really feel it.
