I have a thought about ''goodbye baby''
Is it possible that this song was written about stevie's
abortion in the 70's? |

Well of course that is possible...since the song was written in the 70s...by the way they played this song on ONE LIFE TO LIVE today someone told me, isnt that one of Stevie's fav. soaps?

Yes it was played promenantly on OLTL today. That is one of Stevie's "shows." I recall her saying she liked all the ABC soaps,
The scene involved the character putting the Say You Will CD into her stereo and playing the song. It was not just background music. They did not mention FM by name, but I'm sure most casual viewers could recognize that it was Stevie singing |

I heard somewhere or read somewhere that this song could possibly be about her songs "her child" being taken from her to a music studio maybe "tower" and no longer being hers as they are being changed. It does and it doesn't make any sense to me....

I understand that, but it's definetly about abortion "I who went to sleep in two, woke up in one"

My thought...
...Stevie's songs are almost never about one thing. Remember, this was assumed to part of her 'Rhiannon' project also. Rhiannon's baby was kidnapped as she gave birth and she was accused of murdering it.
So there you go, interesting parallel... Randy

I feel the song, while it does have Rhiannon influences, is definitely about a personal experience with losing a child. Just my $0.02.

IF it is about a break-up, that can only be one around 76, isn't it. So Lindsey's probably right when he assumes that there are songS adressed to him on this album. Thrown down, GB, and... (fill in please...)

I think it's about the loss of a child. I think it's pretty obvious and the song is very straight-forward. I think that because Stevie writes very vague songs and songs that have multiple meanings, people read into the song a *bit* too much. I don't think it's anywhere near as complex or deep or vague as others. I just think it's about an abortion and the resulting break-up from her lover because of it.

I visited Scotland recently, and saw the house where Mary Queen of Scots lived. I t struck me that 'Goodbye baby' might have something to do with her story.

i think it's one of the weakest tracks on Say You Will. The album would have been so much stronger if it ended with Say Goodbye - one of Lindsey's finest.
i also think Goodbye Baby was a terrible way to end the current tour setlist. Very anti-climatic when you stack it up against the rest of the set. There are so many others that would have been a better choice - I think Crystal would have been pretty incredible to end the concert with.... |
