Crossing Over vs. That's Why I Love Ya

**Eyes of the Night** · 12.25.00, 10:00 AM

Here are a couple "unreleased" songs that never saw the light of day but are kick-ass.

I like the effects Ed uses in the beginning CO but the rest of the song is just to slow for me.

TWILY is a song that absolutley surprised me when I heard it. It's a gem in itself so that's what I'm going with.

I prefer Crossing Over but I think TWILY is the best song recorded with Gary. I don't know why they changed their mind and put Josephina on 3 instead of that.

My pick of the 2 is Crossing Over...Though I like TWILY too......

Crossing Over is definitely cool, but I'd have to pick TWILY. Why they pulled this one from VH3 I'll NEVER understand. Big mistake, IMO.

Oh yeah Eyes, Crossing Over isn't really a unreleased song. It was released in Japan on the Balance album.

I own that single. When it came out I saw it in a record store and nearly dropped a load when I saw that there was an unreleased song called "Crossing Over" as a B Side!

Picked that one up!
