Sorry, but I really don't like that song. I don't like Stevie's vocal on it or the melody or the music. Good lyrics though.

My all-time favourite solo song of Stevie's. This is horrifying!

Street Angel When you pulled me through the rainbow, I thought you'd stop


Crystal How the faces of love have changed, turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you, you remain ageless


The Nightmare She fell through the ivory morning


And if we're gonna get into demos:
Cecilia (god I hate this song. You don't even know.) Where have the white birds flown, have they flown so very far?

Julia She loves the stars and she loves you

WTF??? LOL....you don't like BATB and Crystal????? Why???
I looovvveee both of them soo very much!!!

Ok so here's the one and ONLY Stevie song I don't really like: I still miss someone and it's the ONLY song of ALL her songs that I don't know the lyrics of because I never listen to it...I mean, I CAN every single song she has written (though I know she hasn't written this song) but I can't this one...sorry Stevie, lol

Well, you don't have to fret too much because it's not even a Stevie song... it's a cover of an old Johnny Cash song. So there... I absolve your guilt!

I don't mind it, actually. I think OSOTM was meant to be a concept album, and you really have to look at the sum of it's parts combining to make something special, versus forcing any particular song to stand alone. OSOTM to me is almost like Stevie's misty fairy tale opera album to me... the individual songs blend together to weave a bigger picture, take you on a little journey. It's intended to be viewed in the big picture, versus focusing on a particular moment in time.

Yes! Totally agree. Well put.

... Should I leave now? I'll just slip toward the doorway here...

If it makes any difference, I like Stevie's version of Crystal and the live BATB's from the Wild Heart tour. Lindsey's take on Crystal is too sappy and girly, aaaand... I don't know, BATB studio has never done anything for me. It breaks all the Nicksian rules, I know.

Don't worry I'm not a huge fan of BATB either.. I'm just not one for big, classic, soppy ballads.. Her vocal is amazing in it but I just can't bring myself to enjoy the track as a whole. I do like the blues demo version though, a lot more laid back

I don't hate Nightbird actually I just think it's a little boring. And for EFO...I HATE SYW, at least Stevie's songs (except of Thrown Down!) and this is the one I hate most.

The firing squad awaits you my dear.

I have to agree. It's gorgoeus live, especially Soundsateg, but otherwise, meh...

I think "That Made Me Stronger" had several redeeming qualities. For example, it had some notes in it, and some singing. Also, it made Stevie and the record company some money. And it gave the backup musicians, sound engineers and so on something to do for a few days.

This is the line that made me choose this for our wedding song. I choke up every time I hear it.

I actually like everything on TISL, but this really made me laugh.
