Courtney Love Tweets about "Aunt Stevie"

The entry is about halfway down the page. Her tweets are hard to follow, so I'm not sure if she's saying she wrote Malibu for Stevie? I also wonder what the other song is.

Great find! I'd love to know about the other song too. I would die very happy if Stevie ever recorded a song C. love penned. I can't actually imagine it though since Stevie apparently doesn't like to sing profanities! Heh.

I'm surprised she wrote ''Malibu'' with anyone else in mind though, since the subject matter is so personal (Cobain's suicide).

OMG, as soon as I clicked this link I looked out the window of my uncle's house and saw two cars collide. 0_o And I happen to be in Malibu. It's an omen.

Its pretty much an open secret in the music industry that Billy Corgan wrote that entire album.

Didn't Courtney Love write a song for TISL called "When It All Falls Apart" I seem to remember reading about it back before the album came out. And Macy Gray had written a song for her as well, called "Smitten"

I completely agree, they fit right in with the style of everything prior and post ''Celebrity Skin''. I could be completely wrong but I remember vaguely that it is only the lyrics she is credited for in the sleeve of the CD.

I'd give alot to see La Nicks perform this song with this emotion. Say what you will about CL, but you can't say she is not raw on stage. This performance is heartbreaking.

I mean --

Dear God, I'm writing this letter to you,
cause I don't have a clue, can you help me?
I'm sitting here, simply trying to figure out,
what my life's all about, can you tell me?
I never wanted to be, the person you see,
can you tell me who I am?
I always wanted to die, but you kept me here alive,
can you tell me who I am?
I lie awake conducting this symphony,
that you have gifted to me, I can't ever sleep,
don't get mad, but I get weak inside,
and I start to fall apart, cause I feel nothing,
I never wanted to be, some kind of comic relief,
please show me who I am,
I've been tortured and scorned, since the that I was born,
but I don't know who I am, and I thank you man for everything,
sorry I'm so frightened about all of it, but I wish I could give you more,
and all the lights are shining down on me, and I feel intimated by it all,
I never wanted to be, the person you see, but thank you,
oh god please tell me now, are you disappointed? are you proud?
haven't I done everything, everything,
I'm so sorry I'm so weak, and I turned into a freak,
but I don't know anything, anything,
I've lost all self-esteem, my baby and everything and I feel nothing, nothing,
oh god please tell me now,
oh god please tell me now, cause i feel nothing,
and dear god I'm writing this letter to you,
I am coming unglued please help me...





Linda Perry is one angst filled b*tch!

That, is my favourite performance of one of my favourite songs. I can't really imagine Stevie ever singing something quite so controversial though, which is a shame because her present day vocals could be killer on this track.

I'm not familiar with her work. She's an interesting person, but I have never given much thought or interest in her music. But based on the lyrics of the song
I must give her props for being a credible artist. The lyrics are emotionally raw and direct. But I can't imagine Stevie singing this song. It's not her style; she's more abstract and metaphorical in channeling emotion. However, Malibu is a very catchy pop song which suites Stevie perfectly.

I never got into Courtney's music or the 1990's grunge music except a few bands and artists from that era.

I do like the Smashing Pumpkins.

[Steviegirl]

I have Pretty on the Inside, Live through This, and Celebrity Skin, so I do like her music. "Violet," "Credit in the Straight World," and "Plump" are some of my favorite songs. I always wished she didn't have that (very public and disturbing) druggie persona. I think it overshadowed her songwriting and performing in a big--and very unfortunate--way.

Wow, Courtney is delusional. Stevie just a wahh wahh, boo hoo victim of the Mac? She made the Mac 'cool again'? Oh, woman please!
