Your Favorite Song Stevie Did NOT Write

[TerraRhiannon]

Definitely without a doubt "Talk To Me!"

[markolas]

Some Become Strangers has always been a favorite. But It's Only Love is spectacular, too. Hmm.

More love for Some Become Strangers Groovy song and tantalizing vocal and lyrics. It's sad that this song or If I Were You were not the 2nd or 3rd singles from RAL. Major missed opportunity.

Honorable mention: Talk To Me, Cry Wolf & It's Only Love.

Talk To Me is by far my favorite, but I also really like Some Become Strangers.

That may be my favorite, too. Or maybe Imperial Hotel.

Stevie co-wrote Imperial Hotel with Mike Campbell. Stevie wrote the melody and lyrics on top of his music track.

Choosing from solo works only, I'd have to go with I Will Run To You.

If duets are excluded, then my choice is Some Become Strangers.

Damn, I should have chosen I Will Run To You. I adore that song. It's my favorite duet she's done with Petty after Insider.

For me it has to be Seven Wonders. I don't count that as a Stevie penned track because she literally only wrote one word!

It most definitely is not a Stevie penned track. That was ridiculous and her extra lyrics sorta hurt the song.

Laura actually recorded it before Stevie according to this. It's so sad though, Laura died of a brain aneurysm in 2004. So tragic...

That version is a lot better than Stevie's, but it doesn't seem there is definitive version of this song. No one really nailed it and it deserved to be a hit.

I'd have to say my favorite songs that Stevie did not write would have to be "Reconsider Me" and "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" not the released take though but the alternative mix.

[Kena]

Definitely Talk to Me.

Because Stevie didn't write it I don't hang onto every word wondering what Stevie meant and who exactly she wants to talk to her... It's just a fun upbeat tune that gets me moving. It comes in handy sometimes to...How many times have you said "You can talk to me" to someone?

Maybe I'm thinking about it to much but there's no sense in dancing round the subject so I must set my secrets free and tell yall I get disappointed when I hear a beautiful, heartfelt song, with lyrics that just break my heart and then come to find out the lyrics were wrote by someone else...it's the slower songs that get me- Examples being Bette Midler's The Rose or Wind Beneath my Wings. I guess sometimes you must just enjoy the beauty of the singers voice and also the beauty in knowing that the person who penned the song was able to use someone else as a vessel to have their words heard.

I Will Run To You.

...then Every Day

.......then Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
