When I See You Again. Saddest SN song?

[Musicman408]

I like WISYA. But then again, I do all Stevie songs, but this song is nice and very sad.

It was recorded before she checked into rehab right?

WISYA is so tender and sad, it's brilliantly understated on the album, I think.
And for me as well, it's Lindsey's part at the end that really gets me!!

It's the lyric change from "When I see you" to "If I see you" that's so tragic. I wonder whose idea that was, Stevie's or Lindsey's?

I think this alternate mix is better than the album version, though; the way the voices blend at the end and kind of answer each other just fits the whole thing better and brings out that sadness, in my opinion.

Would it be at all possible to get a repost of this version? I don't think I've ever heard it with both of them on the end....thanks in advance!

about the song...absolutely love it! I never understood all the negativity...I think the 'ravaged' vocal on it suits the song perfectly...I do think it's one of Stevie's saddest songs (along with, of course, Storms...) But THE saddest song has to be Planets Of The Universe, or as it was originally known, NO LIGHT... which basically says it all for me...There is no hope...of course, when it finally did see the light of day on TISL, it was given a modicum of hope...but that one still gets my vote...

I always think of The Second Time as a sort of a sequel to WISYA...I love them both ...

Do you have No Light? I want that so badly. It's one of the things missing from my collection. All of the Planets demos I have are different than the one I'm looking for. I'm looking for the piano ballad. At the end she says, "That is so intense". There is one that has really good audio quality, and I've been dying to find it. I agree that it's one of the saddest, and one of my favorites. I would really appreciate it if someone could post a download link.

I'm particularly struck by the sadness of these lyrics in No Light:

Now I know I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream
I would never dream.....

It was before...you are correct....

I saw an interview while Stevie was on the Rock a Little tour where she said she had sent FM a tape of a Landslide-type song. But I figured that was just a simple piano demo or something. I thought she went to rehabilitation right after that tour; when could she have done this before rehab?
