I only have problems with bad ones.

Well, a neverending river is standard, almost a pattern, no?

That nearly killed me.

I think it's pretty good imagery. My only problem with these lyrics is that she used them in "Destiny Rules". That was lame.

I agree.

More lyrics I love!

I like the double lyric use. I think it fits more in Illume than in DR. As with the "Downstairs where the big ole house is mine" lyrics are in WTTR...S and Blue Lamp. It fits both songs well, IMO.

It's good you like it, cause I couldn't help but notice stevie does that constantly.

Why write just one song, when you can write a whole album in one swipe of the pen?

"hmmm, lets see, I haven't used 'trackaghost' in awhile...I think I'll just pop that one into 'sweet girl'...."

It drives me NUTS and makes her look lazy. Destiny and Enchanted being the most heinous offenders.

Yeah, I think it works with "Blue Lamp" and "WTTR...S." And I'm with you on you earlier comment about the "Christmas angel" ruining it. I hate that part, but I've gotten so used to it that I hardly even think about how I dislike it.

I'm really waiting for "well, she dances around in a circle well" to make another appearance. And, hey, I could use another dose of "FAST, like a jetplane and then FAST like a star stream"

I think that's tied with how much of "Thousand Days" is borrowed..no, STOLEN from "Whole Lotta Trouble." I think "WLT" is a much better song, but that's me.

This made me laugh...and laugh! Hi, fellow Oregonian! I'm in NE Portland, where are you?

I guess lyrics are a subjective thing. The things that make me cringe most are when Stevie switches from first, to second, to third person --all in the same verse. I don't even think she realizes it. It makes her "messages" less understandable and hard to follow. Also, when she butchers language rules (granted it's acceptable to certain extent in music). But this one bothers me:

"The earth and the sea and the sky....IS at rest with the ocean."
Why couldn't she just say "ARE" ?

In the realm of demos...

I love "Belle Fleur" and it puts me in this incomparable dreamy kind of mood, but I always thought the first verse came off as silly and elementary-

"Men and women
Livin' in the canyon
Indian dancing
All night long
They form a circle
Hand in hand"

And "Something Exquisite" is another demo that I like, but I just think this part is laughable and the inclusion of "ever" makes it worse-

"If you do not run the race
Then you cannot win it (ever)
How will you know if you do not do it (if you do not run it)"
