This Fireflies is just wonderful. My mom would have loved this. How incredible that we are getting to hear all this unreleased music, it just seems like more if surfacing every day, both officially and unofficially. We really are spoiled with this stuff!

Interesting. You could always tell the final lead vocal was done after the fact but it's interesting to hear what bits were mixed in with that from this version-- notably her vocal at the very end of the song were kept in the final version.

That first "in the drama of the moment" where she harmonizes with Lindsey..... a flash of their exquisite vocal blend that we haven't sadly heard in a long time.

This Fireflies is so beautiful. Stevie and Lindsey sound amazing together. The "drama of the moment" line gave me chills.

After hearing this incredible duet of FireFlies I am completely baffled they did not continue to produce this song as a duet and then make it even better with Christine singing on it too for a perfect 3 part harmony.

that Gate and Garden demo is just......awful.

Her melody and the words are fine, but that droning, screeching, hideously awful "playing" .....it's like listening to someone's droning car alarm.

I mean, we know she only knows a total of like 4 chords but she couldn't even string together two of them for that noise.

Hahahaha That was funny.Atlease it sound different then those mockingbird sound car alarms. .The music part does sound like it was from one of those Casio keyboards like I have here.

Agreed. This Fireflies is wonderful, and as I watched the pictures that went along with it I started to feel very very nostalgic. I also love the keyboards in this one too. This should have been a produced Fleetwood Mac song, but having it this way is fun too

Thank you again to Sandor.

This is a newly surfaced take of Sisters Of The Moon. A very commonly circulated outtake of the 1978 version (featured on the Deluxe Tusk) has castanets throughout and it does not fade out in the end. This new one fades, but its LONGER than the Deluxe 1978 outtake. NO CASTANETS!! I believe this is just a good alternate mix of the 1978 outtake.

I enhanced the sound on all of these new recordings. I could not fix source distortion.

I agree on both counts that that fireflies is unbelievable and that demo of gate and garden is one of the worst things I've ever heard!

For some strange reason, I actually really like the Gate and Garden demo... It's so simple and bad that it has a really innocent quality to it.. It's also one of my favourite songs so I'm naturally biased.
