As far as I'm concerned OSOTM does end with DTBTIC. I rarely [edit: never] listen to I Still Miss Someone. Probably mostly because the first time I listened to the album all the way through I was so knocked out by DTBTIC that the wholly weird and fairly ridiculous opening few seconds of I Still Miss Someone had me switching back.

Desert Angel is a masterpiece. Diss it at your peril

It wasn't my intention to diss "Desert Angel" (I like it, too), but I do stand by my statement that "Doing The Best That I Can" was more worthy of a spot on 'Enchanted.'

That's the section I'm not crazy about. She has me up till "Operation Desert Shield! Operation Desert Storm!."

But it's all right, because I used Audicity to make the offending part go bye-bye!

that's probably my favorite part.

I love this song, but I do agree that between the 2, Doing the Best should have been on Enchanted.

"In my distress....
Well, I wanted someone to blame me!!
In my devastation- I wanted sooo to change
In my way.....
Disaster was the only thing that I could depend on....."

With the exception of "Sisters of the Moon" lyrics, this is probably the greatest Stevie lyric ever written. Especially because of the way she wrote the music and sings it.

The key to whole deal is "In my way", because it's only in her way that she could live life relying on disaster. And, jeezus, don't I feel that!!!!

When she was good- she was really good....

Sometimes I have favourite songs and then get sick of them, but not in this case. I loved it from the first time I heard it and always will.

My favourite lyrics are

Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
And then fortune causes nightmares...nightmares that make you crazy

(She sounds half crazed as she sings 'nightmares that make you crazy'. I just find that part totally fascinating.)

and

She thought she was out there...but nobody saw

That's probably one of Stevie's lyrics that speaks to me the most.

It translates to me as "I'd like to change but I have been so miserable for so long, I'd really rather stay here in my rut than risk moving."

Personal issue.
That is so interesting, because I totally relate to the, "well at least I'm TRYING to change" thing. Because I see change as being so difficult for most people. And she's saying that she's doing the best that she can.

You're so right! And it's not just the words themselves, but how she sings them!
