I vote for

FALL FROM GRACE

but NOT "I Miss You"

How do I do that?

[LukeA]

Bombay Sapphire(s)

I don't see how its possible to vote out a song like Fall From Grace at this point in the game it's one of her most rocking songs if not ever then for sure in the past 20 years. And its awseome live. I mean I guess i can see if it gets down to less songs then personal opinions can differ, but its almost less an opinion and more scientific fact at this point that FFG is better then most songs left especially Everyday.

I expect you to explain yourself Strand.

[DeeGeMe]

I love Fall From Grace!

[strandinthewind]

I just never got into FFG. I think some of the lyrics are great. But, I think the music is generic and her voice sucks on it, save perhaps for the SUUUVVIIIIIIIVED at the end. I know I likely am in the minority, but I gatta play it the way that I feel it

In the end, I think the song TISL is the best song on the record - her deliver, phrasing, placement, and timing of epic and somewhat awkward but beautiful and vivid lyrics is great on TISL, the song.

Actually I agree about TISL. IT's my favorite on the album, not Fall From Grace after my huge rant. FFG is #2.

Bombay Sapphires gets my vote.

FFG also has a bad memory for me. I sent the lyrics to a former friend who was a drug addict and screwed me around to fuel his addiction. It was painful because I really did fight long and hard to make sure he survived, which he did, though we no longer are friends (not all the king's horses, etc. ).

The TISL line about consuming all the beauty in the room also just hits home. Not literally, but from a performance point of view. When you are performing and you are on, there is nothing else in the room but you. All eyes are on you. It is the ultimate power trip. She really is clever with her double entendres.

Also, I am not a huge fan of BS ( ) -- but I LOVE the alt. version. I would also love to hear Dallas Austin's version(s).

I guess I like the song okay. But, I like the remaining other songs better. How's that for a political answer

Its Only Love can NOT be voted off before Love Changes. I think Its Only Love is great- it was one of my mom's favorite Stevie songs. The lyrics, fragile vocal, and acoustic vibe make the song for me. One of the best of the album, imo.

Love Changes...would be more at home on Street Angel. Total AC blahness.

I voted for Love Changes but I feel compelled to say that I really like all the songs that are left. It's just matter of degrees now. I too don't get the It's Only Love hate. I suspect people hate it because they hate Sheryl and feel like she steals Stevie's thunder somehow? I think that's silly. It's probably one of the best things on the album.

I totally agree. And, La Nicks' voice sounds alot like it did in the 70's on this cut - esp. on the "someday's lonely" part.

I just don't get all the Crowe hating.

[GypsySorcerer]

"Love Changes." Blech.

I think "It's Only Love" is great. Other than the title track, it's the best song on the album.

[macmar71]

Bombay sapphire....ewwww!!!

[Musicman408]

Don't know about you all, but I love Everyday!!!
