It's pretty good, but I can see why they didn't use it for Rumours.

Yeah, I'm thinking it doesn't "fit" on the album because it's more complex musically than the other songs. It's definitely different.

I like it, especially the do-do-do part at the end, but I prefer the demo with just her and the piano. That vocal is amazing.

I haven't heard this but would like to!

It's a brilliant song in any form, but I think the 'TISL' version approach was the absolute best.

I don't think I like the "big production" sound of the TISL version. I prefer the intimacy of the re-issue version. I think it's absolutely beautiful.

My faves are the Rumours version and the extended album version. The Rumours one is greatness. I'm in love with it. The piano demo? Not so much. For the most part, I don't like the piano demos.

Except for the Sisters of the Moon piano demo right? That gives me chills, it's probably my most favorite version of any song she's ever done. I know, grand claim....

I totally agree. I am not a big fan of over-production.

I love this version, but I also like the passion in the piano demo.

I miss the "I still wish you gone, and I will live alone" from the piano demo. Why didn't she include it on this version? That is one of my most favorite lyrics in the song!

I JUST WANT TO HEAR THIS VERSION... oh the frustration.. Australia wants these releases too!!!

Stevie's rhythm and vocal timing in general is one of the many reasons I love her so much. Moves me to pieces...gives me shivers. Totally unique. Whether it's due to musical naivete or not...I don't really care. It's wonderful.

I'd rate the "extended album version" from the maxi-single, as the best version

The extra verse followed by the guitar solo just makes it perfect.

Ohmigod, that one gives me chills. It's among the greatest things she's ever recorded. EVER.

I love the piano version of planets of the universe, it is just one of those songs that you dont have to try to remember- you just do. It's got so much emotion in that version that obviously relects feelings at the time she recorded and you can just feel it as every word is sung. The cd version cant mimic that, the song though all glam'd up sounds great, i love what John did with it, though the piano version to me never leaves my mind, its a haunting song.

Where can I find the piano demo? I haven't heard it.

Thanks. I'll P.M. you my email address.

By happy accident, I downloaded The Sisters of the Moon piano demo from, I think audiognome, but I could be wrong. Like I said, I stumbled upon it and now I don't know where it is! That reminds me, I really need to clean out my files....

Well, there are two Or least I have one that has her talking before and after and then one where there is no talking. I do not think they are the same.
