Who knows, maybe they would have done it on stage on the TITN tour if Lindsey had stayed.

No, Dissention wants the a capella version in concert, complete with extra "Babaaaay"s.

Of course, I would edit out 2/3 of the "baby" repetition.

I can see WISYA as the closer, but to be honest, I prefer Goodbye Baby.

If they do it (and they should at least try it) then no "WISYA" cheek-kissing tradition should be established. We have the "Landslide" hug already.

No, for sheer tackiness, the big screens could show the band members' baby pics each time she sings "babaaay." You know you want to hold a lighter up when you see Mick in a bonnet, right? Or they could show the Yorkies as puppies.

It's just a bad song, IMO, and they can't improve it by simply editing out the "Whassamattababay's" or singing it together onstage. The lyrics stink and Stevie would probably use it as an excuse to sing in a monotone voice. It would be a bore.

Maybe I can convince her to sing the extended nine minute cleaning lady version of WISYA, complete with extra verses, just for you! Admit it, you can't be bored AND gagging.

Sizzling on your skillet
Flaring all the broilers
But you'll never feed me
My Tuna Helper
And we fight for the right white wine..."

Saddest #1 for me would be "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You." I remember where I was the first time I heard this song. It was June of 1999 and I was moving from Chattanooga, TN to Little Rock, AR. I was so upset leaving my home I popped in TimeSpace. For some reason I had never listened to that song. I cried for about 15 minutes.

#2 "Silver Springs" The lyrics to this one alone tell the story. Its the perfect "break up" or "could have been" song.

#3 "Talk to Me" This somewhat upbeat sounding tune hides the sadness of it. The feel of it reminds me of "Missing You" by John Waite.

#4 "Reconsider Me" This song upsets me everytime I hear it. Stevie is practically begging at the end of it. It's pitiful...

Happiest?
#1 Say You Will, #2 Stand Back, #3 Blue Denim (its not a "great" tune, but she's in love and its happy)

I think of Talk To Me as a somewhat happy song. The lyrics express frustration, but the sound is pretty upbeat, just like almost everything on RAL.

I get the feeling you didn't know this, so you were really perceptive with the "Missing You" connection... "Talk To Me" was written by Chas Sandford, who co-wrote "Missing You" with John Waite.

I assumed Mylittledemon knew this, or else the connection between the two songs was quite an amazing observation.

Ooh. I need to hear this. I read somewhere that it had a slight Blondie sound to it, and that really piqued my interest. Plus, if its Stevie collaborating with TP&THB, then it mhas to be great. I'll have to request this on one of the FM download sites soon .

HAPPIEST:
1. Say You Will
2. Without You
3. Angel
4. Think About It
5. Paper Doll

SADDEST:

1. Blue Denim~~ IMHO, one of her saddest songs EVER
2. Bombay Sapphires (I know Stevie says the "I can see past you" line is supposed to be hopeful, but I hear an incredible sadness in these lyrics, as if she is trying very hard to convince herself that she can indeed, move on)
3. Silver Springs~ no explanation necessary
4. Goodbye Baby--- it would be hopeful, if I did not always think of the backstory when listening to it.
5. Storms--- gut wrenchingly so.
6. Stand Back (yes, musically it kicks ass but my interpretation of her lyrics makes me feel it is really a very sad song, very troubled, with alot of fear, confusion, anger and a sense of being abandoned emotionally running through it. To me, that is all very sad.

[mylittledemon]

Who the hell is that? haha. Never heard of the guy. I have heard of John Waite and Stevie Nicks though...

I'm the one who keeps pointing out the Blondie sound. I'm not sure if the true Blondie fans agree.
