SYW as a Stevie solo album

TheWILDheart · #1 10-30-2009, 07:16 AM

I really wasn't a fan of a LOT of Lindsey's songs on SYW. I can't stand "Murrow" or "Red Rover" and don't really listen to "Say Goodbye", "Come" or "Steal Your Heart Away". I like "Whats The World Coming To", "Miranda" and "Bleed To Love Her" but I don't LOVE them. So, I made my own Stevie solo album using her tracks from SYW plus a few others. I've possibly posted about it before, but I've just listened to it again and realised how good it is and wanted to see if anyone else felt the same?

Tracks:

My Heart
Illume
Thrown Down (wall of sound mix)
Say You Will
If You Ever Did Believe
Crystal
Smile At You
Running Through The Garden
Silver Girl
Not Make Believe
Everybody Finds Out
Destiny Rules
Goodbye Baby

This is really good, but Silver Girl has to go! I'd also go with the standard mix of Thrown Down but then again I seem to be the only one who doesn't like the wall of sound mix of that song!

I like Silver Girl - it's cute and you have to have the eneviatble slow song somewhere in the 2nd half, so it got included, although "Space Needle" would work in it's place.

I included the WOS version because it deffo sounds more like Stevie solo than it does FM, but either version would work well. I like the WOS version apart from the fact that it missess out the 2nd verse, but I don't think that was written yet (it's my favourite verse of that song)

I think my choice for first single would be "My Heart" - I really love that song. Followed by "If You Ever Did Believe", "Everybody Finds Out" and "Running Through The Garden"

Silver Girl should have been deleted and recycled in the trash bin.

As far as Lindsey's songs, I love love love "Steal Your Heart Away", can't imagine anyone not liking that beautiful and heartfelt song of his.

As far as Stevie's songs, I did something similar not long after the SYW CD came out, I just can't get into the CD as a whole.

My track listing:

Thrown Down (Alt. Version) ... a good opener
Everybody Finds Out
Twisted (duet with Lindsey Buckingham)
Illume
Not Make Believe
Say You Will
-
Running Through The Garden
Smile At You
Silver Girl
Sweet Girl
Destiny Rules
Goodbye Baby

Bonus Tracks:
Thrown Down (Original Version)
Say You Will (Remix Cold)

I like that. I'm going to give it a try when I get home. I forgot about "Sweet Girl" but I do love it. Might have to try with that in

What is "My Heart"?

markolas · #10 10-30-2009, 11:51 AM

I'll never understand how people can hate Silver Girl but be all over Not Make Believe - "it hurts my self-esteem, it hurts my everything - I am reeling, ooh it hurts my feelings."

I mean...oh em gee.

An outtake from TISL, I think.

NMB gives such a peek into her feelings about the Mac. And it sounds so goood. Those tumbling drums.

As for Silver Girl, it's monotonous, I suppose. But I do like the concept (even though it's about Sheryl) and I love the line: "...if she lets you / see her soul"

Spot on - it's a complete song and is totally finished but was never included on the album. I think it was used on some promo CD somewhere at some point along with the WOS version of "Thrown Down". I'll upload it if you like? It's a fabulous song

I like both. Equally.

Wow. Would love to hear this promo cd. Was it used to promote TISL?

I think so. I can't really remember. Someone else might be able to tell you more. As far as I am aware, it was a promo CD that included the wall of sound mix of "Thrown Down", "My Heart" and the extended version of "Planets Of The Universe" with the extra verse. I'll upload "My Heart" when I get home from work for you
