I'm so sorry I had to remove them so quickly yesterday. I got the go-ahead to put them back up, though, so they're at www.sararhiannon.com/sayyouwill.html for those that haven't heard them yet.

'Thrown Down' is amazing! Do those of you who didn't like it at first like it any better now?

Thrown Down is great now...the beginning of it reminds me of Linkin Parks "A Place for my Head" though,lol..which is still kinda cool..and i love the changed lyrics...

Oh yea, definitely.....this version is MUCH better. I guess it was the layering or "wall of sound" mentioned in another thread that kind of turned me off to the song. I think it has a "Gypsy-like" sound to it now..... very cool. And Stevie's vocals are a lot more focal in the song...she sounds awesome, better than she did on TISL.

Thanks for posting the song clips and lyrics SaraRhiannon...your site rocks!

"Say You Will" and "Destiny Rules" are just GREAT! I think i like "DR" a little more but just because i like the darker stuff...I understand about Stevie's voice sounding a bit harsh but it really only dawned on me for a second...i got over it. i'm really pleased so far with what i've heard and i am REALLY looking forward to the new record. I can't wait to hear the rest!!!

By the way, does "Say You Will" remind anyone of "Angel" a little bit???

YES!
Eversince I heard the beat to it in the VBOFM enhanced disc it reminded me of Angel. Like Stevie said about the song on the Tusk Doc and how she wanted to make a "Good time rock and roll song" SYW sounds just like that!

RIGHT?!?!?! i'm glad i'm not just nuts!!! i especially love the chord change during "if i can't get you to dance"...i think this song provides a really good balance to Stevie's other compositions on the record.

ROCK ON APRIL 15th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"By the way, does "Say You Will" remind anyone of "Angel" a little bit???"

Absolutely! It's exactly what I was thinking - that guitar riff, the loose arrangement and the overall funkiness is reminiscent of "Angel". This should be a killer live - imagine if Stevie did that little dance she does at the end of "Angel" during the Tusk Documentary? I would just die for that. It would also be cool if "Say You Will" segued into "Angel" ala "Outside The Rain"/"Dreams". Here's hoping.

OMG I'd die if they did Angel live!!!! That segue idea is awesome.
I didn't make the connection between Say You Will and Angel...I actually thought the harmony in the new verse of Thrown Down reminded me a bit of the harmony in the live Angel from the Tusk doc.

SaraRhiannon, thank you very much for sharing those files. I enjoyed them very much. I liked this "Thrown Down" better than the other one, for sure; and "Say You Will" is incredibly catchy.

Song of the moment - Show Me A Smile

My two cents...

The chorus of "Say You Will" is gorgeous. I think it's the best thing Stevie has written since "Rooms on Fire."

And what beautiful, simple lyrics. I especially love: "It always seems to heal the wounds/If I can get you to dance."

I don't think the verse measures up, however, and that's a bit disappointing. It's not bad, it's just kind of bland. I think if they had put a bit more work into the verse melody, they would have had a major hit on their hands _ at least on AC radio. But who knows... maybe the chorus will be enough to win people over.

I can understand that people might not like the verses because they are kind of monotonal, and the notes don't vary much, but I think what she's singing has an incredibly catchy rhythm to it. And what's going on in the instrumentation under the vocal is exciting also. So the combined rhythms make the song exciting for me as a whole, and IMO the lack of note variations in the verse only makes the chorus better, I guess. But ever since I heard it last night for the first time I've been walking around everywhere singing "that you love because you become someone else in an instant" that part sticks in my head more than the chorus actually. So catchy!

Is Lindsey's backup verse still on the song lwere he sings, "It always seems to heal the wounds/If I can get you to dance." Is he in there somewhere? I hope so.

As from what I've heard (the 2min snippet): Yes his part is in there but you can hardly understand it and realize him as it is mixed in the background and Stevies voice drowns him out.
