i voted Rebecca. its so pretty... "i know we've found love here by the sea"....
Sweeter is one of my all-time faves, but is just too sad to listen to alot. :)

By far, Sweeter Than Anything. Definitely one of my favorite PJ songs.

<i>"How can this be?"</i>

*sigh*

For some reason, Nina in Ecstasy makes me feel really, really strange. It does something I can't quite explain. I don't listen to that one much.

I love "Sweeter" so much. That is one of the saddest songs that I have ever heard. "Rebecca", "Nina", and "The Faster..." are great as well. As it crossed anyones mind that the "Is This Desire" sessions produced 2 albums, the one released, and the one the B-sides should have been a part of. The reason I say this is that the B-sides seem to be connected both musically and lyrically and seem to fit into a group of their own.

where is "Sweeter than anything" found?

i have the "perfect day else" single with "northwood", "the bay", "no girl so sweet", and "instr. #3"

and i just orderd "the wind" 5 track single with "nina in ecstasy", "the faster i breathe...", something titled
" 4track version" (is this "the wind"?), "rebecca", and "instrumental #2"

i looked at a couple websites and i couldn't find anything with "sweeter than anything"

Sweeter Than Anything is my fav.!
It's from one of the UK 'Elise' singles (there were two and each had 3 tracks).

Is there a connection between the tracks 'The Wind', 'The Garden', 'The River' and 'The Bay'? Or is it just a coincendence they all start with 'The...'?

The '4 track version' is actually referring to 'The Faster I Go...'

I think the length of 'Is This Desire' is perfect, but to see it with Rebecca, Nina In Ecstasy and Sweeter Than Anything would be awesome.

that is a promo single you have i think, and "No Girl So Sweet" was never released on anything except ITD.

i think what you mean instead of NGSS is "Sweeter than Anything".

you are right blackdove...no girl so sweet is on ITD, and sweeter than anything is on my elise single

it must have been late at night when i posted that...plus i had just ordered some singles i didn't have, so i was a little swimmy with titles in my head...

what better excuse to go listen to them both again right now :)
