Ooh My Love

[bwboy]

I always thought Ooh My Love built to such a crescendo or climax when she changed tense that it seemed like Stevie was acknowledging the moment. Almost like she was saying "alright, yes, it's me, I'm the one!"

I think Stevie was making a real effort to make her songwriting less cryptic with both the Other Side of the Mirror and Street Angel. The meaning of Doing the Best That I Can is certainly much more obvious than most of her other songs.

Remember in CAH's book Carol said Lindsey always called her angel

A Line From Ooh My Love: Oh, but there was a time when he called her "Angel"

Goodbye Angel (Lindsey Outtake 1982) Could be related

I guess this is because of Lindsey leaving FM, Stevie was upset

I always thought OOM was about Rupert Hine.

The song choices would have been awesome for the tour! Of course, as it was, these were some of the best vocals ever from any solo tour. But to have LWTG or OML?

Thanks for posting the new link.

I thought so myself. I thought the song was a very recent write for Stevie during the time of TOSOTM.

Could someone re-post the rehearsals as the blog site is no longer active, sadly.

Another great song she ignores. I can't believe it wasn't a single.

I was listening songs (any band/singer) in random order (iPod touch, yes I still have one) and this song started to play. I confess I didn't remember it so I checked and realized it's from the Enchanted boxset I bought long ago (I never got the OSOTM album), and actually I liked it though not enough to be included in the unforgettable songs list, since I'd forgotten it, but it's a nice song. Though I'd have eliminated the first 20 seconds, an instrumental intro that doesn't fit at all with the rest of the song.

And after checking deeper, I found the demo version from Tango Deluxe. The OSOTM version is much better.

And yes it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to include it in her current setlist. But if she ruled out Angel...

The Tango version is horrible. You can tell she is drunk on the vocals. She sounds like a Halloween witch at Party City. It definitely was a pre-rehab vocal
It definitely is one of the better songs on OSOTM. Her vocal on the Tango version is almost an extension of the RAL era and where her voice and career were heading.
