Please spare me the arguments that you can relate to them, because you're a die-hard fan; you look for that kind of stuff. Quote:

Some folks would wonder why we waste any time at all talking to relative strangers, day in and day out, about some senior citizens who record pop music. Quote:
But I DID relate to songs like "I Sing For The Things" and "When I See You Again" and "Ghosts," even without being a decades-long diehard. And I didn't have to be a rich and famous straight woman in her early 40s to relate to them... I related to the very real longings, desires, fears, etc., that she was singing about. I related to trying to "just get through the day," and I related to depending on music and art to fill the emptiness I was feeling in my own life as I struggled with my sexual orientation and being ostracized by my peers. I became a diehard because of my love for those songs... not the other way around. Quote:
Nothing in life has any more meaning than that which we attribute to it.

Here is my two cents.
Fm has always been a band with a knack for changing their lineups every so often and evolving. I would like to think that when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac that most of the people that were pining for Peter Green to return liked the new lineup and got over the whole Peter Green leaving thing. As for Christine how many songs can you honestly say are not just a light breezy pope confection. Easy on the ears but not much more. I am not saying that that is a bad thing but for anyone to say that LB and SN have nothing to offer as part of Fm is stpid. While SYW was good I believe it MAY have been even better with her catchy pop songs added to the mix. But honestly can anyone say that SYW is not as good as Tango and even better then BTM or Time? I am certain that if she rejoined the band everyone here would be begging her to agree to tour so we could see the fab five again. Even if she did agree to tour we all know that the band would only trott out the same old hits that have been done for years. The point is I wish she would rejoin the band for one last hurrah but we know that will never happen. So I have moved on and I think that anyone here who thinks FM is nothing without her is not being fair to the band. Matt |

The dude from Franz Ferdinand has a great quote on this very topic, but I'll spare you. Quote:
You've told me before that you listen to Stevie to get to know who she is and her life experiences, I do not. Quote:

"Dreams reoccur in my solitude Breaking my heart Injuring my mood With all of the things that I thought I knew It was you" Great general verse about the pain of unrequited love, IMO. As a homosexual, I never tire of that theme. "Well, I remember You caught my eye It was late September It was no surprise He made me better His songs were soft and tender sometimes" This really had an effect on me the first time I heard it. It reminds me of someone I fell for in late September. Too perfect. Also the fact that the person is sometimes soft and tender and sometimes not. :shrug; "Well the conversations ring in my head I remember everything that we said All those tears that we shed" Nice little universal part about love gone wrong. "The conversations ring in my head I remember everything that we said All those tears that we shed Don't call me when you're lonely" I love the addition of the last line. "I remember how heart wrenching it was and I won't forget, so when you decide one night that you're not actually better off alone, please don't call me." (Sorry, that brought back memories). "Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul To stay back Everything has changed now And I don't want to go back And nothing you can say can change my mind" OMG. Oh how I love that. Do I even need to comment on it? I still think of the whole songwriting thing as an analogy, like you depend upon someone who means the world to you to write your song, or to determine where your life is going and what you do and feel. Then you realize you can write your own song and don't need him or her. That is very liberating. And I really didn't think my interpretation was a stretch. I like it when it's an analogy instead of someone just telling it like it is. That's one of the big reasons I love her songs, though I know this is not one of the best. Anyway, I know I've said all this before and nothing I can say is going to make you like that song. It's okay, I just felt like typing. (Sorry that I did all this in poor Christine's forum. Shall I get into "Only Over You" and "I Do"--totally underrated Christine songs, IMO? Well, I just love those. I have a personal thing with them as well). |
