The sax in Nothing Ever Changes is completely different than Two Kinds of Love. Kenny G is way too whimsicle for rock or even pop. Stevie wanted to work with Kenny G because when she heard Songbird while on tour with the Mac in 1987. She said she was captivated and promised herself to include Kenny on her next solo album. Kenny is talented but not sure he really belonged there. I did not care for 2 kinds of love at first. But that song has captivated me ever since. Stevie does not write many love songs but that is one from the heart.
Having said that.... its not a live song. She did it the entire TOSOTM tour. She should have kept Juliet or played Oooh My love instead.

Wow great job. Now only if we could rewind time, convince Modern to release it as a single and get your video on MTV.....the world would be a better place

I always wished she'd saved this track for a Mac album. I love it and it sounds very good on The Wild Heart. But think of what a killer band like the Mac could have done with it.

This is my favorite Stevie solo song of all time with the exception of Edge of 17 and maybe Mable Normand. It just kicks ass the whole way thru with the perfect vocal delivery. I love the way Sh stretches out every word in the first line of the song, the "just one Thing Thatt IIIIII LIIIKE TOOO SAAAY.

Yeah, sax for the TOSOTM songs was a mistake. Stevie's music turned into soft jazz. Destiny from Street Angel had the same problem.

But sax worked great in Nothing Ever Changes, Talk to Me, Whole Lotta Trouble, and Thousand Days.
