One song by Lindsey-Chris-Stevie I absolutely HATE

[michelej1]

The song I hate really has little to do with the song itself. It's just the timing.
I don't like Silver Girl and it's not because it's an awful song. As one song on an album, it would have been no big deal. It's just that with the band apart for so many years, I anticipated new material so much and we only got the three songs from each person for the tour and Silver Girl and Temporary One seemed to be such weak, dismal entries.

They seemed worse, not because they were bad, but because I'd waited so long for them and they were part of a very thin crop. As part of 10 new songs on an album, they would have been fine. In fact, I incorporated the lyrics of Temporary One into my dad's funeral, so I obviously had some regard for it, but both Silver Girl and Temporary One disappointed me in 1997.

But Silver Girl . . . I think I resented it all the more because Twisted was out there -- on the soundtrack and on the Best Buy album and I would so much more have had that one made part of The Dance than Silver Girl.

There are lots of songs I am not moved by, but I don't think I hate them. There are also songs I probably would like under other circumstances, but I've heard them too much, so that I feel like I hate them, even though when I was much less familiar with them, I liked them just fine.

I would be more inclined to say I hate something like These Strange Times than any of Stevie, Lindsey or Christine's songs.
