hmmm - that surprises me . . . but i don't know why - lol - i certainly have yet to figure you out - lol

i would have left off come or murrow - and i am pretty sure it would have been come. . . murrow's lyrics have an actual point - lol

i agree above that bleed was a bit of a re-hash so i would have dropped tht one too.

i also would have swapped say goodbye and goodbye baby at the end.

HAHA...whats there to figure out?

Yeah I dont like the words to Miranda, or the sound of the song. I like the weird slide-sounding guitar at the end though.

I really like Come and Murrow, in terms of guitar work. I like the LIVE Murrow better tho.

I dislike Goodbye Baby altogether...that track is poo. And get rid of Everybody Finds Out. And Illume.

Agreed. Miranda is my least fav. Lindsey track on the whole album

I thought peacekeeper was new also [to whoever [sorry forgot who] said that WTWCT was the only 'new' Linds song] maybe Im wrong.

Illume is just horrible. I get the theme, but I cant even stand to listen to it for like 2 seconds.

I skip that and Miranda. occasionally I skip SYW too, because that gets just as repetative as BTLH

There's an earlier version of peacekeeper that is faster with only Lindsey vocals. Much, much, much better than the SYW version with Stevie harmonies.

I probably have it on the nonworking computer. I'll have to listen to it.

TBT, I think all of LBs SYW songs sound better without the Stevie Harmonies.
Listen to SYHA, and SG for two. I LOVE both versions [SYW and GOS], but there is something about the GOS that just sounds better to me, and it is the lack of Stevies vocals.

I've always said that Stevies 'oh...steal your heart away' at the end of the song ruins it.
and as soon as I heard the GOS version, my thoughts were confrimed.

[Sorry Stevie fans, just some things are better without her. but hey, I wish LB wouldnt have put his vocals on EFO (the chorus of it drives me INSANE). we cant always get what we want now can we?]

I don't know if I still have it. I'll check when I get home from work. If I do, I will!

So do I. It's a better mix of the guitar and makes the song has more kick to it. It's the version I always use when burning CD's.

Def more "radio" friendly. I think it could've been a stronger single had they used that version. I think it was considered the "radio edit" though...I have it on a CD...not sure where I got it from.

I thought SYW was a good album. It WAS a "dud" at the cash register, though. Only FMac fans would really appreciate it. It really didn't have that "thing" for either the general listener or radio airplay. The programming of most stations nowadays is just way to narrow for Fleetwood Mac to fit ANYWHERE.

Except for "WTWCT", all of Lindsey's songs weren't "new"...that was fairly disappointing. I didn't care for "Silver Girl" at first, but it grew on me over time. And, being entranced by Lindsey's guitar solo wasn't enough to keep me liking "Running Through The Garden"...that's the only stinker for me on the album now. Swap it out with "Not Make Believe" and the album would move up a couple of notches (that and redo the running order of the songs).

Really? I liked Runnin Thru the Garden better than a couple of Stevie's other tunes. I did like "Not Make Believe"...and I would've put Lindseys Dylan cover on the album too.

On the heels of TISL, overall, I actually liked Stevie's tunes on SYW better than Lindsey's. But, then, that thing about Lindsey's already being "released" (read: leaked) made them "old news" by that time.

I think they just should've released a double CD with 12 tracks on each. Or, a better marketing ploy would've been: release a single CD with only 12 tracks, then come back about 9 months later (in mid tour) with the second single CD with 12 more tracks.

agreed.
