IYD - Rank the Songs

[pattyfan]

I'm one of those people who isn't a big fan of this disc, so....

Songs I Like

Secret Love
For What It's Worth
In Your Dreams (I don't like the verses but the chorus is very catchy and the song is chorus-heavy, so I'm kind of liking it more and more)
Annabel Lee

Songs I Kind of Like
Wide Sargasso Sea
Ghosts Are Gone

Songs I'm Indifferent To
Moonlight

Songs I Have Issues With
New Orleans (if seeing a little kid saying "Why don't you help us?" inspired this song, then how can she write lyrics that totally ignore how the federal government delayed for sooo long to even begin to help those poor people? )

Soldier's Angel (I get that she is trying to help alleviate the suffering of soldiers, but to me it seems like completely ignoring the suffering of all the non-military people involved in this war, including Iraqis, is either naive or insensitive, and the lyric calling the war righteous really pisses me off. Musically I really really like this song and I would be able to get past it if not for that one line.)

Songs I Don't Like
My Heart (boring pop schlock)
Everybody Loves You (boring pop schlock part 2...I can hear Annie Lennox singing this and maybe making it slightly less boring)
You May Be the One (this reminds me of Somebody Stand By Me, which I can't listen to)
Italian Summer (I was really looking forward to this song, but it's just boring. The melody of the verse is very monotone and I don't like the background vocals at all)
Cheaper Than Free (Stevie belittles Lindsey for asking her to be consistent in what person she uses in a song, she tells him that no one every criticized Bob Dylan's lyrics, and then she writes this. )

Anyway, I'm listening to it a lot, hoping it will grow on me. But even if it doesn't, at least there are a few new Stevie songs to listen to
