Analyzing the album: the Repeat Moments - Page 2

MacMan · #16 08-28-2011, 11:11 PM

The whole album is repeated here daily multiple times... I play it beginning to end each time... not because I don't love individual songs more than the others to just go to them, I just love the whole album! Period! You May Be The One just might be my favorite track on the album, with Annabel Lee coming up next... and I hate choosing favorites on this cause the whole album is really good, but I love the vocals on You May Be The One especially the chorus/harmony singing... With Annabel Lee, it's a great track and I think the length for me just adds to it's appeal... The fact that it just keeps on going and going couldn't be better. Now if I didn't like the track, the length would be a problem.

Moonlight. Definitely! She started writing that song way back in the Bella Donna era. I wasn't alive then.. But I do research, and that Moonlight is definitley the most flashbacky song on the album.

Ok here are my most listened to songs from IYD:

Ghosts are Gone
FWIW
Everybody Loves You
Moonlight
You May Be the One
Italian Summer (mainly because I actually got the chance to go to Italy this summer...so it really was the Italian Summer for me)

My interest in this album definitely comes and goes. I debate often whether or not I like the album or if it's just the fact that it's new Stevie. You May Be The One, Wide Sargasso Sea and Moonlight are the exceptions because they are perfect.

This has been a permanent fixture in my truck since it was released. I listen to other music while I'm on my computer. I was on a Doors kick recently. However, as a road CD this album is perfect. It's because of the variety. It's like listening to the radio. A lot of the music also fits perfectly with the summer scenery. I have spent a lot of time on the road this year and this CD is a welcome suprise. It's not my favorite Nicks album. I still think Bella Donna is just perfect. However, this album is my second favorite. I love the Wild Heart, too, but it's hard to beat the kind of flow In Your Dreams has. Each song takes you into a different direction. The endings of the songs and her vocals are perfect too. The Wild Heart sounds too dated now.

I have only two complaints with this CD: the first is the sequencing of Secret Love and For What It's Worth. The album should start with In Your Dreams. The second is that at least 4, probably 5, songs are too long. Minor quips.

I have kind of divided the album up into sections. So, for me, it just depends on which "section" I most want to listen to. As if right now, here is how they are divided up:

1.

Secret Love
For What It's Worth
In Your Dreams

2.

Moonlight
Annabel Lee
Everybody Loves You

3.

Everybody Love You
Ghosts Are Gone
You May Be The One

There's no rhyme or reason for it. It just depends on which "section" is tickling my fancy.

I always listen to the album almost all the way through too, but I sometimes skip Cheaper Than Free. As you said, I like some songs better than others and YMBTO is my favorite, but repeating it would just make me tire of it, so I refrain.

I developed this rule when SYW came out and I just wanted to play 3 tracks over and over again. I had to stop myself and that prohibition served me well, so now I do it with all FM related product.

I'm having trouble picking my repeats because they change all the time. Whatever song is playing in my head when I wake up is usually the one that gets repeated the most for that day.

It's easier just to say I skip over Secret Love and Cheaper Than Free.

I play IYD in my car all the time. These days, these songs always get repeated:

Wide Sargasso Sea
New Orleans
In Your Dreams (I love the sound of her voice on this one)
Moonlight
Ghosts Are Gone (Not my favorite song, but good for driving)

You May Be the One
Wide Sargasso Sea
For What It's Worth

I agree some songs are too long.

I actually like Soldier's Angel, Annabel Lee and New Orleans, but don't play them nearly as much.

DavidMn · #28 08-29-2011, 02:47 AM

Soldier's Angel most definitely. Far and away my favorite song on IYD.

chiffon head · #29 08-29-2011, 03:27 AM

1~For What It's Worth

2~New Orleans, Moonlight, Annabel Lee (as a trio)

I am sooooo happy that many people seem to like You May Be The One. It reminds me of something from the 70s and 80s. When I first heard it, I loved it. Sleeper track. Maybe she will release it.
