I think Wide Sargasso Sea reminds me of Fancy by Reba Mcentire/Bobbie Gentry

That's probably pretty common because so many of the songs are so good.

I'm able to consistently pick one though: "Moonlight", hands down.

I think Moonlight is really my favorite too. However, my favorites change day by day. Such a great album. There are no duds.

I think I know what you mean a little bit. Although I don't hear a similarity in the melody, I can see it in the tone. For instance, when she says you won't forget THIS, it sounds similar to "your mama's going to move you uptown" or "just be nice to the gentleman and they'll be nice to you," when the line ends with a strong inflection and an ironic punch.

I definitely want to hear the Ghosts are Gone live! I'm currently infatuated with the killer ending... that's how I want to hear it done live.

good stuff.

also digging the chorus on "You May Be the One." I love the foursome - Everybody Loves You, Ghosts are Gone, You May Be the One, and Italian Summer. What a great way to end a record..

"I used to love you.. see the light inside of you.."

Right now..It's WSS. But it changes. On first listen it was It was Italian Summer. That line "Love was everywhere you just had to fall." I've never connected with a line in a Stevie song like that. I remember I pulled of my headphones...and sobbed for personal reasons. So thank you Stevie.

But that's not exactly how the record ends. Oh, I guess that's the way it closes, in our dreams.
