Best Stevie song left off a Mac album besides Silver Springs

I was just mesmerised by the perfect timing of Stevie's voice, the haunting piano and Lindsey's searing guitar playing.

"I should of turned around and ran as fast as I can" (Wrong tense here, but we love her for it!) I always think that means that she wished she had ran away as fast as she could of, when she found out about the "willing little one".

This is the perfect song about intense love, in my opinion.

I like the Mirage version better. This is more than a demo because notice her voice fades out after the first verse "i wont be staying." I think that shows there was some production done to this version. I agree its about intense love but intense love gone bad. She is very vulnerable in Silver Springs and is borderline stalkish. But we feel her pain so much we are drawn into her empathy. This version of Smile At You she is coming to terms the relationship is over and looking back with regret. I think this vocal is fantastic. We get a Bella Donna vocal on a Mac track. I still cannot picture Chris playing this piano. Anyone else? Not sure why. Its just so not her style. Its a shame with all of these reissues they cannot release these gems.
