Default When I See You Again. Saddest SN song?
Such an emotional song from her fragile voice to the longing in her lyrics and then the softness of Ls guitar and voice. Wow very powerful stuff here. It is like they know ( or think so at the time) that this is their last song together.

Eh...

I, for one, was shocked when Stevie recorded Goodbye Baby (AKA The Tower) for SYW.

WISYA has always seemed like a throwaway to me.

definitely not a throwaway imo. I think it is one of her saddest songs. I wish people could put away their disdain for her vocal and the production and pay attention to the lyrics and the simplicity of the song. I think it's just as good as Storms.

I love this song. Even if you don't like the vocals, for me they're still perfect, because they add to the sadness and vulnerability of the song. All the 'whatsamattababee's are sung differently and I think it reflects the different feelings in the song, and the different circumstances in which somebody can ask you if you're alright. Maybe I've given this too much thought, but I never get tired of this song. Lindsey's unscripted part at the end kills me every time.

maybe? try clearly.

srsly, I agree 100%. it's his vocal at the end that gets me too. Stevie, in one of her lucid, creative moments, got that one perfect.

I think it's an okay song, but the bit with Lindsey at the end really makes it for me. It's the reason why I listen to it. I like the guitar solo as well because it's simple but fits really well.

Stevie's vocals annoy me a bit, but generally I don't mind them. It's only when I think about them that I really notice them.

ITA. And you reminded me that I haven't listened to this song in awhile - something must be a matter with me!

Love the song..cannot get past the ravished vocal.
You have to remember - that was the first FM Album in YEARS and
to hear her sing in that voice was shocking to say the least!

this is exactly how i feel about it. the words and melody are just heartbreaking - and i love sad more than anything. but the vocal, and all the whassamatterbabies just kill the mood of it for me. i'd love to hear her revive this one. would love to hear her sing this today - and maybe lose batb for her closer...

Amazing that she sounds so radicaly different on each of her 3 songs here, she had the same thing going on on RAL.

I like the ravaged vocals they are so vulnerable and yet strong at the same time. Very intoxicating combination and not something alot of singers are able to acomplish.

Where would I find this song and the one called Oh Baby? Are they on a vinyl LP or are they demos?

(Sorry to be so clueless, but I got into this FM stuff last November. And if no one wants to take the time to explain it to my sorry ass I completely understand. )
