If you were my love

The Mirage outtake sounds good, but it would have fit better with Tusk. The coda could have used a Fairlight CMI or other early 1980's keyboards and synthesizers.

Yep. Part of it even sounds like the song "Tusk". It'll be interesting to see if Dave/Stevie kept the faster tempo parts or not. Either way, I have a feeling this will be one of my very favorites.
THANKS to whoever posted the download.

I hear a lot of "Tusk" in the song too. It was a good decision to drop both songs. Apart from the poor editing and a couple questionable song choices, Mirage is a fairly accomplished recording, a sleeper hit in the catalog.

Care to elaborate?

I was actually thinking of Battle of the Dragon. Listen to this version of If You Were My Love from about 3:17 on and then to Battle of the Dragon from about 3:27 on. To me they sound very very similar. Am I the only one who hears it?

And just to make this easy...
