Hi Streetangel,
Thanks for your reply. Can u tel me whf i'm doin wrong here? I thought i'd gone to right forum n all? I cna't be arsed with gettin aggro from people. I just want to share a feeling.
Peace 2 u.

haha well, i don't mean to sound rude, but the Post/Pre Rumours fans are MAD DEDICATED and always voice their opinions (which i think is AWESOME!) I, as a mere 15 yr old, am naive and i reply to almost EVERYTHING. haha it took me a couple days for people to actually reply to what i was saying - don't get down!

the name's Miranda, nice to meet you!

LOL!! Don't get me wrong, I like Lindsey too. His songs "That's Enough For Me" and "Tusk" are awesome. Some of the others seem to be more "variations on a theme" than actually different songs. Many of his tracks on "Tusk" sound very much alike to me. Still like the guy though. "I'm So Afraid" and "Blue Letter" are two of my favourite FM songs of all time.

yeh, that chimes with where i'm at with the Mac at the moment
it's cool to be even thinking about this stuff again
i used to be a bit of a Stevie nut but i 'got over it' for about 20 years !!! LOL!
can feeel all the old feelings again, the old magic, tho, ..... hmm
i like Chris's songs too - a LOT actually - but I have to be honest and say that I really do sense that LB just isn't quite on the same level as a songsmith as the Mac women on Tusk
i'm in Edinburgh, by the way, in case anyone cares?
peace in all things
xx

Either you play WoW or you are just using that as an abbreviation for no reason.

On topic, yes Stevie is flawless on Tusk. But so are the other 4, whatever their names are, there is currently chiffon all over my eyes

Hmm. Nope. Respecting your opinion but disagreeing

Everyone round here knows that I more or less worship the ground Christine walks on. Stevie writes beautiful, amazing lyrics but for me, Christine's are better (on the whole and on Tusk)

She was fourteen now?

Okay, Stevie.

She's the real deal. God bless her. xx

I am being 100% truthful when I tell you that on Tusk, I think Lindsey's songs are most memorable for being so... weird, for lack of a better word

Nah, it's a common phrase in Britain

Nice to meet you jellyman. I'm Cassie and I hope you enjoy it here at the Ledge.

I'll be honest: while I feel Tusk has Stevie's best songs (the others have their strong points too, namely Lindsey on Rumours and Christine on Tango in the Night), the whole album, in all it's weirdness, is quite memorable. I mean, how can you NOT forget a live performance of Not That Funny?

As for songwriting skill, they're all very different songwriters with very different styles and strong and weak points (and all 3 do make me wanna pull my hair out trying to figure out what the hell they're talking about lol), which is why I enjoy all of them for different reasons.

I don't pull my hair out trying to figure out what Chris is talking about. I see her meaning as a little more straight forward.

On the other hand, I do think there's a deeper layer and a darker strain to her words than a lot of people give her credit for. I think they're a lot less sugary than they would initially appear to casual fans who like to cheerily croon in sing song voice: "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."

I think her songs are mysterious, but only because people aren't listening, not because she's not explaining things exactly. For instance, SYLM, I think most people hear a guy saying he loves her, when it's really about a guy leaving. How does it feel being wooed when you know the woe is just a sunrise away?

The pulling-my-hair-out part is figuring out WHO she is writing the song to. For example, I love Little Lies, but I dunno who it's about. I do know Sugar Daddy is about no one (and her getting out her silly song in the vein of tunes like Big Balls by AC/DC) and the songs about John, but that's it.

As for the guy part, I thought it was a love song till I gave it a closer listen when I was breaking up with my ex, Tim, last year. I realized she is begging her guy to stop taking advantage of her and, in many ways, Tim did exactly that to me.

Stevie's my 2nd favorite on Tusk. Lindsey Get's my vote on Tusk. ......Actually on everything he does.

However no denying Stevie's greatness on this album.....just not as great as Lindsey....yea I'm Lindsey-centric. Chris on Tusk however loses me pretty much.....save for Think about Me and Over and Over.

When I first heard Tusk, I was drawn to Lindsey and Christine's songs first. I just liked them more than Stevie's songs and she is my favorite out of the group. Overall, Tusk is an incredible album and showcased everyone pretty well. I love every song on the album except for one.

StreetAngel95 · #27 06-06-2010, 02:08 PM

^WOAH! Haven't seen you here in awhile! Glad to know Court isn't dead, LOL.

But i agree. I was definitely drawn to Lindsey's songs first. Which song don't you like?

Exactly! The very first post you made was simply a matter of opinion. I for one think Lindsey, Stevie and Chris are all equally strong in their own right. I wouldn't say one is better than the other.
