I think When I See You Again is one of Stevie's songs I WANT to forget about. Painful to listen to.

Anyhoo, Straight Back is a wonderful song. Really wish she would perform it live.

Out of those 3 - Straight Back, but I'd go for That's Alright...

So funny, I don't fancy any of these songs so I didn't vote. ^^Add That's Alright and you have a clear winner.

I love the sound of Straight Back but I love the emotion of When I See You Again (plus Lindsey). OMG HOW DO I CHOOSE.

ETA: Just re-listened to them. I stand by the above, but When I See You Again made me cry (again), so. . . what am I to do?

Picked Straight Back because the other two are forgettable, and Straight Back rules. But, like others said, That's Alright is even better. It has possibly become my favorite on Mirage, beautiful lyrics.

Straight Back will always be one of my all time favs, though I rarely seem to listen to Mirage. I'll always have a special place for this one... I first heard it in a plane flying over the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead... it was almost a spiritual experience!

i believe it.

as for that's alright... what makes it for me is the harmonizing background. wow. though i honestly dont' know if it would have been my pick.

I love 'Straight Back'!! It's always been a favorite of mine. WISYA is okay, but Lindsey's vocal at the end saves it!! 'The Second Time' is one of Stevie's weakest songs, IMO.

Voted 4 Straight Back. When Mirage was 1st released-this was the Stevie song I loved the most, But it has fallen to 3rd place of her Mirage songs all these years later.

I agree with most, "That Alright" is the true hidden gem. Great song (which contains a Stevie songwriting rarity-a Key change at the bridge before the chorus), Great Lyrics & Top Notch Vocal & Harmony.

this was tough because I do love all three of these songs! I voted for Straight Back because of it's sheer brilliance...when I first bought Mirage I played that song over and over and over. However, I do think The Second Time is one of Stevie's best songs! I know I'm in the majority here. LOL. The only reason I didn't vote for it is because the vocal is so lousy. I wish she had recorded that song pre or post klonopin. The song would have had much more power with an emotional vocal to match those wonderfully sad lyrics.

Straight Back! It's my least favorite off Mirage from Stevie, but it's still an incredible song. "hours and hours of...waiting for YOOOOOOU" and can't forget "in the shadow of my shAAAADOW!" And I love Christine's harmonies on this track.

I don't hate WISYA or TST. I actually don't think it's possible for me to hate any stevie slow song. These 2 are on the bottom of that list (with BATB, landslide at the top)but if it's a simple, slow, sad song with her vocal...I can't hate it.
