Just randomly thought about how Buffalo springfield also have a song called For what it's worth...We know that Stevie really likes there music too because she mentioned in a recent interview once how she loves their song Rock and Roll Woman! and quoted a line from the song. lol

The way her voice breaks in the line."you saved my life I won't forget it" is heartbreaking.I can understand how just this line would be so poignant to you now.I have a friend that posts on Seven Wonders who just lost his mom to cancer I have know him for 30 years.He is holding out until Tuesday to listen to the album I have a feeling he will feel the same when he hears this song.

This song is beautifully honest and vulnerable. Her vocals and the lyrics get me everytime. It is healing.

Agreed. The people on here who say it's "boring" I think just aren't really *listening* to it.

I'm going to sound so sappy, but this is one of the things I love about Stevie's songwriting--a single line, or the tone and emotion of a song can touch you, even when the central subject is completely different (sororal vs. romantic love).
I'm glad it's meant something to you, and I wish you and your sister all the best.

I agree....a song of stevies that may not be her best can be lifted by one single line that makes it unforgettable.....For What Its Worth is the standout song on In Your Dreams...althought I love most of them

Same from me, John.

[flickersticked]

I agree so much about FWIW being a healing song. I started crying as soon as it came on the first time. It is a perfect little song. It makes me think of so many people in my life, including Stevie herself. Her music saved my life, I won't forget it.

I think the album may be totally her best. I like how personal the song is.

It's hard for me to say if I have a "FAVORITE" yet, but this song is definitely the one I've been listening to the most..It's amazing
