hey all - nice topic
when i first heard it i thought it was a tricked out lindsey in one ear (mp3 player) and a tricked out stevie in the othr ear -
but reading this it made me go back and listen again and again - LOUD _
and you know - i can't make up my mind - lol
- if i were a bettin man - i'd probably go against my gut and say
- "yep - lindsey -he can sing out of sync on purpose much easier than stevie
(meant as compliment!!!)"

but of course my gut says - "its both of them - weaving seamlessly togethr - just the way i like it !"


i love playing this when im driving for folks who don't know it -
i don't say anything about it - but just watch their heads bobbin -
by the end - they all look like bobble-heads -
anywhooooooooo . . .

I think some of her songs on SYW should have been transposed -- Illume, Say You Will, and Destiny Rules in particular. The studio versions all sound horribly flat to my ears.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'transposed'? Thanks!

It is Stevie & Lindsey.
"Brilliant", yes. (my God, we agree on something, YIKES!! )

"Perfection", no. (knew it was too good to be true)

It is my 2nd favorite Stevie tune on SYW, though...right behind "Smile At You". (My fave, due to John's bass playing...what Mick lacked in imagination throughout SYW with his drumming, John made up for, in spades, with his bass lines!)

^ ITA. John's bass lines are awesome on the SYW album.

Performing a song in a different key, in this case, to better suit a vocal. She's occasionally done it on tour, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (2001) and Say You Will (2004) being recent examples.
