Happy 2nd Birthday Say You Will!!!! Two Whole years ago it came out!!!!

[diamondsnake]

Can you beleive it has been 2 years since SYW came out (April 15, 2003)? It doesn't seem that long to me. So, now that we have had the album for several years, what are everyones feelings on the album?

I am finding the album more and more romantic as time goes on. When you really start listening to the lyrics you can really understand all the layers. Like SYW- it such a romantic song. Being so in love with someone that "you become someone else in an instant" is just such a cool thought. A lot of the songs I never liked, like Red Rover, I am now in love with. Thrown Down is another song I was never too keen on. But I love it now! The lyrics are so beautiful.

What are your thoughts on the album after all this time?

I think the lyrics to the song SYW are brilliant and they make me and others at once just feel happy, which is what she said her intent was in that she was writing about being in love so much that you just want to burst into song because you are so happy.

I think SYW is the end of an era. It is not my fav. record by them, but it is one I cherish.

It is a happy little song isn't it?

What do you mean the end of the era? And don't say they will never make a record again because I will start crying!

I think age must be considered. At the historical rate they go, LB and La Nicks will be at least 60 and Mick even older. Not that they cannot be great at that age, but a long long world tour would be more difficult. Plus, they are not exactly in a hurry now to get back together. So, we shall see. Personally, I would love one more record.

I'm as enamoured with the album as ever. Still listen to it almost as frequently as I did when it was first released.

Even the three songs I wasn't wild about... "Red Rover," "Silver Girl," and "Say Goodbye"... have all grown on me considerably.
(I should say that I always loved the lyrics and vocals for "Say Goodbye," I just wasn't crazy with the way Lindsey chose to approach the song. I felt that the vocal melody and the guitar melody sounded as if they were going two different directions, and worked against each other. So I used one of my computer programs to slow it down a *smidge*... similar to the tempo of the live versions... and it's now a favorite.)

It's a great album, and, much like 'Tusk,' it requires an investment from its listeners... but it pays off in spades.

HB, Say You Will! I really like this album, I think it is stellar. It's been on heavy rotation on my ishuffle. Except Silver Girl, of course...Lindsey's contributions are especially brill, IMO. I can't get enough of Miranda, Steal Your Heart Away (which makes me both happy and sad, and the melody is just gorg.) Murrow, Come, Red Rover. Uberyummy. And from La Nicks, RTTG, Thrown Down, Goodbye Baybeh...so, so, lovely. *sigh*. <3

That's exactly what I think about Say Goodbye! I think the guitar is brill, the vocal is brill, but together I don't love them.

i loved this album when it came out and in the last two years it has left my disc changer... never. i hate 'silver girl' just as much as i did when i first heard it, the flute is cool but i still hate it. the rest is great IMO and it is definitely right up there with Tusk as most-listened-to-in-its-entirety-minus-silver-girl album. SYW (the song) immediately makes my day better and when i hear it while shopping, i feel like it's a message straight from stevie "buy that shirt mariel, buy it..."

I LOVE the album. There is a song to listen to for just about any mood I might be in at any given moment. And if I'm in a bad mood (and need a pick-me-up, for instance), a quick Miranda/Say You Will blast does the trick every time.

My only regret? That the album wasn't LONGER with MORE SONGS, say a second disc with 18 or 19 more tunes.

My hate for Silver Girl has yet to wane. It remains a fly in the ointment of an otherwise amazing album. I continue to hail Everybody Finds Out as the coolest song ever. It's just so damn scandalous.

[dissention]

What's the World Coming To- I haven't been able to listen to it the same way ever since I read it was about Lindsey and the record business. How dull. Love Stevie on it, though.

Murrow- Kicks ass.

Illume- I like how Stevie went out on a limb with this song, but I don't care for the song itself. With the exception of one verse, the lyrics blow chunks.

Thrown Down- Never liked it, never will.

Miranda- Love it. I love his vocals.

Red Rover- One of my favorite Lindsey songs ever.

Say You Will- No, I won't.

Peacekeeper- Good song, but I prefer the solo version. I don't skip it, though, and do enjoy it.

Come- Have mercy.

Smile At You- Blows the old demo out of the water.

Running Through the Garden- Plastic production, but it's a fun song and I love it. The lyrics are cheesy as hell, but hey.

Silver Girl- Not the greatest song, but not the monstrosity it's made out to be.

Steal Your Heart Away- Great song. Not much to it.

Bleed To Love Her- Gag me.

Everybody Finds Out- Fun. That's about it. And it has her best vocal in years. Someone lit a fire under her ass in the studio, that's for sure.

Destiny Rules- Grew on me a lot, I love it now.

Say Goodbye- My favorite on the album.

Goodbye Baby- Her best song in years. Love the whisper vocal and it's hard to believe it's the same song from those crappy old demos.

[wondergirl9847]

WTWCT- Not a favorite LB song of mine, but it's alright.

Murrow - Love it, and that solo is nuts!

Illume - I like this song, it's weird and I love weird.

Thrown Down - I prefer the WOS version, but it's alright.

Miranda - It's catchy and mysterious, since everyone has a theory on what the frick it means. LOL

Red Rover - My 2nd favorite song ever and my favorite on SYW.

Say You Will - Zzzzzz....it's catchy as heck, but boring.

Peacekeeper - I also prefer the solo version, but this is a great song.

Come - Love it on the album, love it live...just love it.

Smile At You - How different is this from the demos?! WOW!! I love this song!

Running Through the Garden - I love the demo better, but this is a pretty neat song.

Silver Girl - Good grief, this song is boring.

Steal Your Heart Away- I prefer this over BTLH. I love it.

Bleed To Love Her - I prefer the Dance version, but it's okay.

Everybody Finds Out - I love this song, it's spunky!

Destiny Rules - I love this one too.

Say Goodbye - Prefer the solo version, but it's just greatness, no matter what.

Goodbye Baby - This is such a sad, tender song...I used to not care for it much, but it has grown on me.

Wow, I forgot about Destiny Rules and Illume. Not a big fan. Neither one is near as whoreanus (stupid sixsixsix! ) as Silver Girl. I believe I literally never listen to those three. When I say "I love the album", I realize, in my head, the album doesn't include these song....
