What song is the biggest suprise for you on IYD, in a good or bad way?

[Gypsy0033]

Biggest surprise for me is that the song " In Your Dreams" is up tempo. It reminds me of Enchanted.

Right now it's New Orleans. Her mentioning Anne Rice and the vampires put a grin on my face. I've been a fan of Anne's for probably longer than I should. Considering how deliciously graphic her books can be, I'm not sure a kid should have been reading them.

Oh God, it's like all of my geeky things are colliding . I about peed myself when I heard Stevie sing Anne's name. Stevie + Anne = Louie bliss.

And last year I was in New Orleans for a DeLorean get together... so I was able to combine DeLoreans and Anne Rice as well! I just had to snap a picture of my friend Bill's car in front of Anne's house while we were there:



I also have pics of the DeLorean in front of several locations from the Witching Hour books. I freaking love it when my obsessions collide!

Probably Italian Summer, I thought it would be a boring ballad but it truly is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

Definitley! It might even trump Moonlight as my overall favorite.

I have to agree~I thought the same thing that this would be boring but I love it♥

I also pick Everybody Loves You. The beginning with the electro feel and the strings in the middle followed by the guitar definitely goes in a direction I was not expecting.

I dislike the lyrics; there is no discernable melody; the instrumentation is stodgy and Stevie's vocals seem a little shaky to me. I'm not wild about the title track (too much guitar) and "Soldier's Angel" (embarrassing lyrics), but I still think they're worthy of inclusion.

I'm a little disappointed in WSS ....its a little off...Lyrics are great but it could have had a better start IMO...I didn't think I'd like New Orleans as much either..

I had some tredipidations about New Orleans and Soldiers Angel but that washed away after hearing them New Orleans in partucualr is classic.Italian Summer is one I reserved opinion on until hearing the entire song and I have to say I love it.The song reminds of Roxy Music's brilliant "A Song For Europe" it is that good IMHO.

I was kind of worried about this one too from the snippet..defied my expectations.

[AliceLover]

I really LOVE the title track! It's so catchy and uptempo. My favorite part is at the end when she's just repeating "Ooooooh in your dreams."

Moonlight is just incredible.

Geeky? I think you meant awesome.

Stevie and Anne. God that's perfect.

[WildHearted]

For some reason For What It's Worth randomly reminded me of American Pie by Don McLean today. I transitioned from FWIW into that song in the car and it weirded me out haha.

Me too! I didn't even consider that "everybody loves you" could be followed by "but..."
