What song would you choose for the SYW album title?

[cliffdweller]

I think "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" would have said it all.

[Serrart]

Favourite title: Everybody Finds Out

Runner-ups: Destiny Rules, Steal Your Heart Away

Romy

[MirrorInTheSky]

I'd have to go with Thrown Down because it's edgy, dark, and would have gone beautifully with the cover since it looks like they were all thrown down on the ground. You could also say that they've thrown down a good beat.

[CarneVaca]

You guys are missing the obvious:

PEACEKEEPER

Come would be a good title too, but perhaps too risque. Destiny Rules would be gag-inducing.

Everybody Finds Out would be kind of cool too.

But no matter what, Say You Will is an awful title, and I bet it has cost a few sales.

It wasn't much of a music video...but it was one...It was a video from the Tour rehearsals (although they were much more done up than they usually are in rehearsals)...of them performing the song..it was released on VH1...played a little bit around the time SYW came out...nice little video I guess.. couldve been much more...and the good part is in the end, a nice hug b/w Stevie and Lindsey and Stevie laughs and goes "do these guys know eachother?"

Running Through the Garden - definitely a Stevie solo album title, not FM, too feminine.

Thrown Down - great song and excellent song writing IMO but too negative for a title.

Everybody Finds Out - more great song writing, another one of my fav's....title though, maybe.

I think out of all the song titles, it would have to be Destiny Rules, although Steal Your Heart Away sounds kind of good & could mean "let us steal your heart away for awhile, while you listen to this".

I'd vote for "Come," too -- why not try to generate sales? It worked for "Ulysses"!

"Destiny Rules" has always baffled me: is "rules" supposed to be a verb ("destiny rules our lives") or a noun ("traffic rules")? I think it's just another senseless nothing of a phrase, the sort of phrase you'd find in a junior high yearbook next to your classmate's signature. It's vapid (when anyone starts talking about destiny, I generally check out) but it's nonetheless the kind of thing that strikes lots of people as profound.

Of course, maybe Stevie had the right idea when she wrote: My destiny says that I'm destined to come.

Or, conversely, too evocative of manure.

[Johnny Stew]

Wow, not much love for the more metaphysical titles. "Flakey." "Too Feminine." "Vapid."

I guess I just prefer titles that are more evocative and perhaps a little more "romantic," than those that lean towards the masculine or the aggressive, or towards mundanity.

Maybe it's the hippy in me.

I believe it's the former. Still cheesy and the whole "destiny" crap is just more rote garbage. If it's profound, so are the scrawling I found in a public toilet stall today.

Not in many years, by her own admission.

[MacMan]

Ahhhh, now there you go.

with "again" added to the end of this quote.... I think we have our album title!!!

That's why I picked it - It certainly stole MY heart away...It seems like something positive that might make more people buy it

Gosh, I never even thought about "rules" that other way - the traffic rules one. I understand you're checking out, but to me, if anything is Destined to do anything, it's this band. Did you see the story about Christines psychic mom telling her she' find everything in an orange grove, then lindsey and stevie lived on Orange/Grove?
Cool...

I don't think Running through the Garden sounds feminine, I think it sounds beautiful.

Come to think of it, I think Bleed to Love Her would have been a good title because it is like Lindsey talking about Stevie and is romantic and a little masculine (blood) at the same time.
