AMAZING!

IDWBAB shows such great growth in V as a songwriter. Beautiful finale too. :)

Dear California wasnt really my thing for the first few listens. But man has it grown on me. I'm singing it everywhere!

FF I'm not sure about. Am I the only one who really prefers her original live version from Hotel Cafe? I must have played that version 100s of times and I think it was perfect. I also much prefer how she sung the phase "Fairweather Friends" at the end in the original. I suppose she thought it was a work in progress. I'm sure the new one will grow on me though.

Overall I'm SO STOKED!!!! :)

The only thing I like in the new version of FF is the accompaniment, which makes it more catchy for me. I like the lyrics and the "feeling" in the first one though. They're more...upbeat than morose.

I was in my local Starbucks today during a quiet time (around 6:15pm) and sadly they were not playing *any* music.

For me it's a glance
And a smile on your face
A touch of your hands
An honest embrace - VC, Home

For Sure not. I LOVED the Hotel Cafe premiere of FF. I feel like...the lyrics flowed better. But maybe it's because I've listened to that version so many times it's ridiculous.

Ok, the only Starbucks by me is in a Barnes and Noble. Would they still play it there?

Granted, I have heard all the songs, I just would like to experience listening to it in public, since that kind of thing hardly ever happens.
