Enchanted Disc 3 - Page 2

Disc three is so great. I think if Stevie doesn't feel like making a new album, she should do another one of these and release a bunch of rarities. My breakdown:

Twisted: Bleh, but demoes usually are to me with a few exceptions, one to come...

Long Distance Winner: Great tune...should have been the lead single for B/N (what was the lead single anyway?)

Thousand Days: should have made Street Angel, i wasn't too into the song until I got into the lyrics "And if the sun warms up the rain, and the rain puts out the sun, why does the greatest love become the greatest pain..."

Battle of the Dragon: another favorite that I didn't like at first, especially due to the sort of chaotic ending, but that kind of MAKES the song

Gold: good but skippable

Free Falling: okay, I may be tarred and feathered for this, but I MUCH prefer this version to Petty's. At least she adds some variation to the melody, and I love the harmonica in it. And the ending is so cool, how she repeats random lines from the verses and bridge.

It's Late: I just like it because it's one of the few songs Stevie sings that I can sing in the same octave as she all the way through.

Violet and Blue: can't quite get into it

Whenever I Call You Friend: damn those two sing this song SO hard, it's great! You just have to get past the opening...

Sweet Girl: one demo that I actually like...The Dance is of course preferable, but one thing it has that The Dance doesn't is the repetition of the second part of the second verse, because I love when she says "YOU ASKED ME!" really hard afterward. Besides, Sweet Girl ends too quickly on The Dance. And I still can't tell if this demo is in a different key than The Dance.

Blue Lamp: It's ok.

Gold and Braid: Rocking, of course

Reconsider Me: Yes, I wish Stevie's ego hadn't gotten in the way of this song being on RAL, and it would have to have been a single/video. I'd love to see the emotion she'd put into this song.

Somebody Stand by Me: can't stand it, although I did have it on while driving one day and it wasn't too, too bad. It's just lacking Stevie-ness.

Sleeping Angel: love it, LOVE the ending, OH OOOOOOOOOOOOH's

Rhiannon Piano Demo: I was scared to death when I saw Storytellers that this was how we were gonna hear Rhiannon in concert from then on.

5. Gold - I was expecting to really like this song...but it just seems to be lacking that extra "something"

Are you on crack cocaine?? That song is bloody incredible.

Anyway, I used to listen to disc 3 by far the most. I've been craving some songs off there lately (I'm going to rebuy Enchanted). I've loved Gold since I first heard it in '79, I guess. I lived in California, and it sounded all sexy and famous and I would be a star when I grew up.
Free Fallin - that one "name in the sky" and "world for awhile" make up for any flatness. The original definitely wasn't one of my favorite Petty tunes.
Reconsider Me - it was new to me at the time, and I liked it.
Whenever etc. - I used to think this was the most cheesiest lamest song ever - that was before I knew of Stevie or that she sang on it.

Still cheesy, but great harmony and loads of fun to sing along with.
I like all the others, too, except I don't remember getting into Violet and Blue - but this was the phase when I barely knew any Stevie solo non hit songs.

That is the most perfect description everrr. That's exactly, EXACTLY, how that song makes me feel. Oh and Whenever I Call You a Douche makes me feel like barfing.

I used to think WICYF was the lamest thing ever. But Stevie's wondrous powers have worked their magic once again. Now it's a singalong song.

Yeah, because the harmony is hard and interesting. Especially on the "freeeEENDDD!!" part. (that part where the harmony goes higher). It's singing to Stevie - which I absolutely can't resist. I can barely resist singing to all non Stevie songs.

I'm singing right now. I sing all day at work. When I'm listening to my ishuffle on BART, I mouth all the words. I sing to songs I don't know, just without words.
etc.
Does that info make it easier for you to look past it??? I'm a compulsive singer, it's a disease, a sickness, I have no control!!!!

Oh, no, I'm not on meth. heh. Clean and sober.

What do YOU consider a singalong song? And if you say Docklands....

I agree amber...totally singalong...especially in the car...or when drunk.

(not at the same time though)

Singalong? From disc 3? Oh, that would be It's Late. That's right, we better get on home.

Non disc 3? Stand Back. Classic, I know, but I tend to stride down the street when its on the ipod as though I were on a giant treadmill.

Ah...that reminds me of a couple hours ago when I was strutting home from BART. "STAND BACK STAND BACK!!!"

That's what made it magical. That, and the fact that no one could see me walking like that.

*dork.out*.
I would cry.
