[QUOTE=MacMan;1009411]First and last songs of the night are important I think... Of all the concerts I've seen for people I was REALLY excited to see... I always remember what they opened the show with, their entry to the stage... the whole kick-off. Stand Back is a great opener too, but being it was a big hit, she could also put that song second to last, still play Love is last and open the show with IYD...[/QUOTE]

I think that would be a perfect solution.

So hilarious. In fact, I'd think SDMHA would be more untouchable than L & L.

I remember it too, but for me it doesn't have to be really hot. Like, I don't think Monday Morning was really doing anything much, but positioned where it was, I didn't object to it either, because the excitement of those starting moments made the song secondary.

On the other hand, opening with The Chain for the Dance, following the DVD release . . . that was the most thrilling thing ever.

Overall, I think IYD is a fluff song though. It actually sounds like Christine could have written it -- and Christine's songs are great when there's an underlying hollowness or yearning. But when she is just doing upbeat, they aren't as resonant and that's what IYD reminds me of. Songs like that . . . I hear them one minute and have forgotten them the next. Airiest song on the album, I think

I could NOT agree more!

IYD is kind of forgettable and light, agreed.

Many fans were surprised that SN stopped performing the title song 'In Your Dreams' quite suddenly and permanently. Some hoped it would go to radio as a 'single' as it did get some light airplay, initially. Reason I was told last night: SN's management were served with legal documents that the music of the song was far too close to the music of a friend of hers- I don't hear it completely, but it was said that the melody and structure of the song in several parts were found to be *far* too close to the tune of 'You Wreck Me'.

So, the immediate decision was made to pull the song from the live shows and not pursue having the song sent as a promo to radio, in the interest of her friendship with that performer. This also quieted the displeasure of the legal team of the publishing company that represent the other performer, who knew nothing of the suit, initially. So, I guess there's still a friendship. But, maybe that's why the song disappeared, even after it had light airplay and had been played at a handful of shows.

I would have to scroll pages to find an 'IYD' topic here now, and nobody would see it, but maybe this answers some questions as to why the song was dropped, with no dissention as the intention. TP has before been a 'special inspiration' to SN and she had sung 'You Wreck Me' on solo tours, so maybe it inspired the song a tad. No crime. Nice songs, both of them. Yet, it is in the documentary. Yet, she also talks over the live performance. Loophole or camouflage of the similarities?





Who knows if there is any truth to this?

I don't think they sound alike at all.

Ditto that.

[Hawkeye]

actually I've felt since day 1 the 2 songs were similar. In fact i think i said that in one of mt reviews back in april 2011 that IYD reminded me of You Wreck Me. Not a LOT but enough. I said much of the album felt like tom petty to me. FWIW gave me a Wildflowers vibe. the harmonies on Secret Love made me think of the chorus of In the Dark of the Sun off of Into the Great Wide Open.

Landslide most definitely could use a good, long rest, however, that would be the equivalent to Paul McCartney dropping Yesterday from his set list. It's just not going to happen.
