[voltron]

I prefer the single version of Endless Sorrow, by far. I find it interesting because at the time she said something like she changed the song to "save" it, but her life versions are much more closely aligned to the single version. I don't mind the lyrical edits though, just the musical.

I love the intensity of I Am.... Every song has such conviction and purpose. I really wish she would perform some of the album tracks more, like No More Words or Still Alone.

I also love the story of M and her composing it. Basically she went out and bought a super keyboard, ready to compose -- and then realized she didn't know how to use it properly. So she ended up just recording herself humming the melody.

It's also interesting to see that people don't see a theme or concept to the album. This album is all about her struggle with Love vs. Freedom. Rainbow is a continuation of that theme, but I think this really introduced it in a strong way.
