I managed to get to 3:19 and then had to stop. It was the same sort of feeling that time had slowed down and that I was drifring in a black hole of despair that I last felt when I listened to Lizard People.

I want to know who was responsible for turning these two turds into fairly good songs on her next solo album. She sounds like a strung out crack head singing ooh my love here. On OSOTM its one of the best songs on the album.
Rubert Hine is a genius or someone in her band gave her amazing tracks.

Agreed, I love Juliet. Ohhh my love, not so much.. but after hearing the demo.. I might like it better.

I want to know if Lindsey did the track Book of Miracles for Juliet but hated her singing and scrapped it and thought the musical track was worth keeping. If that is the case, did she not rip off Lindsey for OSOTM? Bruce Horsby already had a track to go by.

Can you get into that?

Ooh My Love is completely different and quite a good track. I thought it should have been her second single.

Her lyrics on Juliet and the musical track just don't mix well for me. Lots of words and interesting enough story but the way they have to be sort of shoe horned into that track is not great. At least Oooh My Love has a nice groove to it..... If she was a better musician she could have taken those lyrics to juliet and written a better accompaniment for it. :shrug: As it is she waits for someone to give her some kind of track to paste lyrics onto.

She tries hard to tell the story but it's a hard one to tell

I'm pretty sure LB did write the instrumental track. Book of Miracles ended up as a B side. (Maybe to Everywhere) I forget.

I remember his name in the writing credits.

Thats what I thought too. Not a coincidence that "book of miracles" appears in the lyrics to Juliet. Lindsey was really grasping at straws with what he had to work with in Stevie songs. This would have been the album to do the old demos that were shelved on earlier albums. But I suppose she wanted to impressed the band and submit new stuff.
What do you think she meant at the end when she says "I did not play, I did not play, I am so smart."

Hi jbrownsjr, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about this version. I'm not a fan of the monotone way she sings this version but I like the finished version on OSOTM.:)

I quite like the finished version. Not a lot of folks like that album, but I love OSOTM.
