Really? That's so funny isn't it? I remember I chuckled when he said that because while it is an okay song, it's certainly no GDW.

TD because it is close to flawless and souds most like a FM song to me. Linds soft guitar strokes as always are ever so cool esp against Stevie's vocals.

hi all...well for me the best song on the album was destiny rules...i love the beat of the song as well as the lyrics...i wasn't really expecting much of an album without chris there and was surprised how many of the songs i really liked...thrown down, silver girl and destiny rules were my favs altho i loved the idea behind illume...smile at u was a disappointment bc the demo (angry) just burst with angst...then it turned out to be lahlahlah...take care...pat

Illume is her new GDW according to Mick...

I don't feel any of her songs today will ever reach a plateau like Gold Dust because she won't play any of them in concert. It really takes a few rounds of touring for those songs to truly come alive.

I don't really like Illume because there aren't enough chord changes. That doesn't lend much variety to the vocal.

Have you heard Outtake #2 of Illume? Its incredible. I think you may like it more because there's less guitar in general.

My main gripe with her SYW songs is that they should have been transposed to a key that better fit her range. Almost everything sounds ragged and flat to my ears. She had a big problem with Say You Will -- the song Say You Will, as Stevie would say -- on stage until the band finally transposed it for the second half of the SYW tour, and it sounded much better. So I think all of her SYW songs had the potential to be amazing, but most were poorly arranged. Lindsey's production work, which I call "Lindsey's revenge," doesn't help her songs either.

Post! Post! Please! I have enjoyed Illume from the second i heard it. It is her most now-and-modern-rock-sounding song (aside from maybe fall from grace, or POTU) in YEARS. Its very cool. I can allways play that one for my friends who are into alot of the now bands, and it ALLWAYS gets respect.
yes, if shed actually do it live, and really mean the words, ect. it could be epic. it has all of the elements of stevie that i love. Mystic stevie,lyrical deep stevie,and it works well with her current range.

AND! Illume candles really are FREEKING AMAZING smelling. they induce INSTANT CALM. I LOVE THEM.

I love Running Through The Garden, it´s best SYW song! Most of Stevie´s songs on SYW album are very similar, but this not.

It´s a pity, that RTTG wasn´t released earlier, it would be better I think, sometimes in RAL or TOSOTM era. I know version from RAL Demos, but it´s not high-quality like official released songs on albums.

i picked destiny rules.

It is a really incredible song...Jf she did it live, I'd want it to be completely acapella until she hits the line "Like a diamond snake in a black sky," where I want John to come in on bass ONLY until she hits the chorus and then Lindsey comes on some kick ass guitar, and back to acoustic when she gets back to the second stanza.

Here are the demos:

The words are great. The snippet of the demo heard in the DR doc sounded great. Final product- not so much.

There are outtakes? I only know of center channel mixes and DVD A rips done by the fans.

Classic? Hmm....
I voted for Destiny Rules, but I like Illume & Everybody Finds Out. I think I even like Silver Girl as a song.
