It's the best song on the album IMO.

All of TISL improved for me with age. Took me about 2 years before I could appreciate their luster.

I loved TISL from the start, but Bombay Sapphires has REALLY gotten better over the years to me!

I think Thrown Down is without a doubt the best on the album. And then Destiny Rules and Illume. But to me, the whole album is just amazing.

I can't help it, I still have a bad taste in my mouth regarding what Thrown Down morphed into. I LOVED the demo when I first heard it in about '00... then LOVED the "wall of sound" version I probably heard in '02? When Say You Will emerged, I was so disappointed at how skeletal and flat Thrown Down had become

. Lyric wise, I think it's one of her most poignant, grounded, and strong songs. I just prefer this version, I guess:

I definitely agree about Destiny Rules and Illume, though. Easily her best Mac songs since Gypsy and Straight Back

The Other Side Of The Mirror and Street Angel in general. I hated that the woman who sang like a bird now sounded like...that. The difference from the White Album era to the OSOTM era is really incredible, and at first, I felt very volatile towards that.

Now, however, both albums are starting to grow on me. I lovelovelove The Dance, Trouble In Shangri-La and Say You Will, so I think they helped me grow used to Stevie's changing voice.

The OSOTM has some interesting songs on it that at first just sounded awful, and while Street Angel does have it's truly awful moments (Stevie Nicks should not sing about a laundromat!) it also has some really catchy songs - Greta in particular is one of my favourites.

I'm still not keen on Rock A Little though. Although occasionally a song from it appears on shuffle and makes me go "Ooh"

I agree about 'Thrown Down'. It should have been released before 'Say You Will'. Definitely a missed opportunity.

Usually if I start to like a song it is because I can envision in my mind how it COULD have sounded if alterations were made. For example, "Nothing Ever Changes" needs to be rid of the blaring synths during the chorus, and have the hefty guitar from the intro put in its place.

Agreed! I love Nothing Ever Changes because it is so raw sounding and I think it would have been amazing live, but the chorus is was too over produced.

Both songs are too ballad(y). The first single should have been Everybody Finds Out and the 2nd should have been Running Through The Garden or Destiny Rules.Stevie needs to have more of a rock-n-roll vibe on the radio IMO.

For me, songs come and go- sometimes I never notice a particular one, then all of a sudden it really rings, and vice versa!

"Ghosts" - the way the song swings into the bridge - very, very pretty!

EDIT: OSOTM the album in general...i would always listen to bits and pieces, but it's truly growing on me!

I have to say the entire OSOTM album. I never liked it..... and suddenly it just grew on me. I love "ooh my love"..... I have that one in my mp3 player constantly!!

The first time I heard this song was the SYW version b/c back in 2003 I had just started getting really into Stevie and had not started collecting demos. I was not crazy about the song and am still not to this day. I just cannot feel passionate hearing my goddess sing about a barricade! Something about that is just wrong and I'm always picturing orange cones blocking the road. However I do recognize that many, many people love it.
