Here's a simple question....from your resident simpleton [joker] .....What is your favourite Stina "sleeper" song ?........that track that you really didn't like when you first heard it but with subsequent plays has really grown on you to the point that its now a firm favourite?
As far as the last album is concerned,for me its got to be The End Of A Love Affair.
I really didn't like the song when i first heard it,thought it the weakest track on the album and was a daft way of finishing off an otherwise strong album.
Now,especially when i'm driving down the dual-carraigeway to my girlfriends place, i can't stop singing along to it 
and eagerly await its arrival at the end of the tape.

All I can say is Rob, I hope the sentiments of the songs in no way apply themselves to your situation!
As for sleepers, a lot of ASCHE took a while to 'get', but was well worth the wait. [tup]

Okay: to stick to the subject: it would be:
Clothe yourself for the wind.

I think i can honestly say that I liked just about every song by Stina straight off the bat.There are exceptions-'Lori Glory'...which hasn't really grown on me,but I like the bridge.I think 'End of a love affair' might be the grower for me too.
Now I have the Japanese TWIS,it ends with 'Failing to fly' (fantastic,one of the best things she's ever done) and then the crappy remix of GOWYL which i skip,so 'Failing' becomes the more appropriate closer...
Which reminds me,RobB...

I think it has to be Dynamite and all other songs on that album too, except for 'almost a smile'. It was such a different kind of album that it still isn't one that i often listen too, allthough i've grown to like most of the songs by now...
All other Stina Albums i've liked from the beginning and I guess i've played ASCHE most of all.

My vote goes to 'Crime', definately, it's one of Stina's most ethereal songs, the best medicine for insomniacs like me, i guess!

I didnt care for 'lori glory' much until I got 'this is' dvd. my perspective on most of those songs changed after watching the dvd.

I think it's Trainsurfing I appreciated months after the release of This is... oh and Butterfly too. Now I think this song is ok.
