Fireflies
Does anyone know if "Fireflies" from the live album is a cover song? I can't find it anywhere. Or am I just being lame and missing something?

Stevie Nicks wrote it.

Was it ever recorded on an album or just on the live one?

Just the live album has it. As far as I know....Only place I've ever seen it.

There are several demos, boots, etc. of it.
Here is one from youtube: It is rather of dreadful IMO. Here is the piano demo. It is rather pretty IMO. It also shows LB and FM's slammin production skills. There are others - so look for them. |

It's gorgeous. I never heard this before. As you say, apart from the incredible depth and beauty of this fragment, it's quite amazing and impressive that Lindsey and the band arranged the midtempo rocker out of it as it came out......

In many ways, I think the musical structure and the music of the finished fireflies is LB (I presume the major production force) and the rest of the band (no slouches either mind you) 's finest accomplishment of that era. I have no clue how complicated the song is in its structure, but it sure comes off as a perfect fit to her words and voice. I also think she (presumably) did an outstanding job on the harmonies (as she presumably did on Farmer's Daughter - SHEEBUS!). All in all, I think Fireflies is an example of FM working best when they work together as a group. It is just so evident on this live track. |

Live? That's questionable. For a song that wasn't performed during the tour and supposably recorded during a soundcheck, it sounds THAT tight? I doubt it. I think that, and Farmer's Daughter were recorded during the Tusk sessions and placed on Live for single purposes.

In any event, I think most of the track was live, or at least it sounds that way. I agree though that they likely tweaked it in the studio afterward. |

I think it was the same night I killed Carrie.
Anywho, I think this song could have been a big concert hit....like The Chain was/is.

I'd love to hear it live, esp. since she is being comparatively daring in her vocals these days. Read - that cut is a SLAMMIN vocal from her - and LB for that matter. |
