DISCUSSION: Christine's songs from Tusk

[TrueFaith77]

1. Over & Over - Possibly the most purely beautiful Mac track of all time. I find it so moving. The sweep of the harmonies is just beyond. It makes me cry. Perfectly establishes the emotional impetus of Tusk as the three artsits present their most complete perspectives on Love.
2. Think About Me - Perfect Mac. The Christine and Lindsey interplay is great--better than Don't Stop, I think, even if it's a bit grungier.
3. Brown Eyes - The sublime distillation of the album's unifying aesthetic approach.
4. Never Make Me Cry - Sarah McLachlan and her ilk imitate but never come close to this song's aching beauty. Funny they aim for minor Christine but can't even touch that. Has Christine ever sounded better on record than on Tusk?
5. Honey Hi - Along with Over & Over and Think About Me, this one joins the ranks of Christine's masterpieces (the only other track I'd compare is "Oh Daddy" from Rumours and Say You Love Me from Fleetwood Mac). The way I hear the song, it applies the metaphysical truth of prayer to heartache. Love is communication--as represented by the sublime harmonies.
6. Never Forget - Perfect ending. Gorgeous. Along with Never Make Me Cry, I probably underrate it; appreciating it more for its role in the whole than as a separate perfect part. It's a sonic treat.
