I was just going to say that, too. I've always loved the song, but it became even more special to me when I discovered Stevie had partly wrote it about John Lennon. I remember being so glad that Stevie had wrote and sang something special for John...

I love Waddy's guitar on this song, and I think vocally, Stevie sounds fabulous. And I think this song also really showcases the unique and beautiful harmonies Stevie has with Lori and Sharon.

I have always loved the lyric: 'and the clouds never expect it...when it rains...but the sea ~ changes colours, but the sea ~ does not change...' Good stuff.

Can't you set up the polls to see who voted for what? I never made a poll but I have seen others who have done that.

I think you have to set it up that way at the beginning when you first post the poll. Plus, I'm not really interested in who voted for what, more their reasoning why. I'm a curious girl.

I had an argument with a woman who thought it was "just like the ones we love" even after I told her the correct lyrics she refused to believe me.

It's in my Top Ten all-around, but lyrically it's Top Five.

I was one - I didn't think it through all the way - upon further thought I think it would make the top 20 - but because I am a little tired of it I have other songs I love more than EO17....

I especially love when she adds "no it does not change, it does not change it it doesn't!". I always say that now even when she doesn't . It's like a little rap!

I never knew who Stevie was until this song. I first fell in love with her when I heard this song. I remember me and my mom were in the car BLASTING it and I went online and typed in the lyrics (I also thought it was one wing dove!!) and found out it was white wing dove. I went out that night and bought Timespace.

Everytime I listen to this it makes me want to get up and dance. Especially the live versions. I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten yelled at by the neighbors that I have the music so loud they can heard it through the house.

The music is amazing and so are the lyrics. So deep and so powerful. This is definitely my favorite Stevie solo song.

My ex thought it was "Just like the wild ranger" and the "white winged duck" one is good too.

I was the other one. I chose that because even though I like it, I'm tired of it too, and there's a lot more songs I'd rank ahead of it.

I never don't want to hear this song. Every single time it comes on the radio, (which is a lot) or my playlist, I get excited when I hear the first riffs. Every time. I adore it like no other.

Thanks, you guys! As long as I know you don't have some sort of severe disdain for it, I can deal.

BTW - just listening to the Pittsburgh boot & I've in love with "I know what it feels like, and I know what it SOUNDS like, I know what it sounds like, it sounds like YOU!"
