Like or Dislike: Stand Back

[Serendipity]

5 kicks, only cos there arent more options! How could you not like this song?! (sorry, i know, personal choice ) To me, its Stevie at her best. It just rocks.

I gave it only 3 kicks. I dont feel this song should even be uttered in the same breath as Edge of 17, but it seems those two are her most popular songs. The Studio version is along with BATB and IAF the only songs I ever skip from The Wild Heart (man I loved her choice of songs from this album to be included on Timespace ) Its still OK, but it so doesnt live up to the praise it gets. Now ths live versions are MUCH better. I think most of those get 5 kicks. The absolute best version of this song is without a doubt the Woodstock 98 version. That version deserves 6 kicks. But the song for me really kind of sucked on this past Gold Dust Tour, the kicks and spins are fine but she put no effort vocally into it.

I love this song. And even though I've heard it a bunch of times in concert, I never get sick of it because it has so much energy. I actually rarely listen to the studio version and much prefer the live versions, epsecially recent live versions. On the Wild Heart tour it didn't kick nearly as much ass as it does now.

I thought she wrote the actual notes and he came in and played it? She did not write all of the music? Which parts exactly did he write? This is serious if you are saying Prince wrote 80% of the music to Stand Back. My panties are now in a roll.

FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME
(I'm sure you guys are thrilled I didn't write a novel for this one. That pretty much sums it up ).

My favorite Stevie song to sing out loud.

Anyone who doesn't like this song, better "STAND BACK"!

5 kicks! 5 million kicks!!!! Easily one of her best!

I thought it was:

"I feel in Love, when I was only 10
The years disappeared
much has gone by since then"


Oh sorry....different song......

Ahhhh....my favorite part....*sigh*.

Probably my favorite song live!

3 High Kicks for the album version. About a million kicks for any live version. I was never really a fan of this song until I heard some live versions, and now the album version seemed a touch brittle.

[face of glass]

5 high kicks. It's the song that convinced me of Stevie's abilities, the first solo song of hers that I felt any connection to (I had heard Bella Donna before and had been bored by it, at first). And of course most of the live versions rule.

Love this song, but have to say I wasn't blown away by the live version I heard on the SYW tour. (That's the only time I've ever heard it live.)
