This is probably some of the most telling, chilling and brilliant lyrics she has ever written! And some of my favorite!

Of course this is my interpretation of the song but its pretty clear. It was one for you but three for me (shows how much of an addict she was in doing so much more...one for you but 3 for me) It was very nice it was everything (cocaine is one hell of a drug) So here it is in little pieces (can mean literally cocaine in little pieces or your world shattered in little pieces) I just played the part, I didn't win or lose (can mean she did not try and went through the motions at Betty Ford) Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling (meaning if you ever get the urge again to do coke, remember this time and how you feel) And the whispered secrets go on and on(Stevie Nicks is in rehab) You watch after her and your word is law (meaning how much they watch your every move at rehab no privacy) She thought she was out there but no one saw (meaning her fantasy to be outside this place) I did not win or lose, I just threw the cards (meaning giving up and just getting out of rehab) But I paid a price for it (price literally its not a cheap place to go and the price of scorn she gets) I was silent, I was locked away, but I covered my tears, silent all day (nuff said) Its out of my hands here In my distress I wanted someone to blame me. In my devastation I wanted so to change You get the point...... its such a heart wrenching song with no beating around the bush with meaning. When I would get in a rut or have a tough time with life.... I would put this song on with headphones and crank it Its alright baby cause I'm doing the best that I can. I'm trying hard to change, I'm doing it the best that I can. And that is all you can ask of someone really. Rupert Hine is a genius for how robotic and hypnotic the music is for this song. The lyrics would not flow in a normal rock n roll song. He created a masterpiece especially the way she fades out in the end. That is why I get so defensive of this song when people trash it. IMHO its one of her best written songs. Sometimes Stevie writes in code and between the lines (no pun intended). She was not afraid to tell us exactly how she felt during this time in her life.

Stevie didn't go to rehab until the latter part of 1986. So she was likely partaking of substances on the Rock a Little tour (whether or not it was up her rear, as rumour would have it). She said in her Behind the Music special that she had to be very careful with the coke on that tour because she knew about her "blow hole," but the drug was not out of her life yet.
While on the road, she recorded demos of some of the songs that she sent to FM for consideration for FM. So the demos of "Juliet," "Whole Lotta Trouble" and "What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done For You" were likely recorded with her touring band. I saw an interview of her talking about a "Landslide"-style ballad she'd recorded as a "duet" for Tango that would have dated before rehab (surely "When I See You Again"). She thought it was "really, really pretty." Also I believe "Seven Wonders" predated rehab. And of course, "Welcome to the Room...Sara" was post-rehab, given the subject matter. Her insistence on that song bumped "Whole Lotta Trouble" off Tango. Which I think is a good thing. Because it would have gotten a synthetic, cheesy treatment on Tango (not the powerful, horn-driven bluesiness of the TOSOTM version). While I would love Stevie to have had another strong song like "Juliet" on Tango, I'm glad that one got saved as well. Bruce Hornsby adds a lot to the tune. It's probably my favorite on TOSOTM. I was nervous about the state of Stevie's voice before TOSOTM came out. "No Questions Asked" from the previous year had given me hope that her vocals had recovered and that she wouldn't hit many flat notes. But she still sounds off to me in places on just about every song (i.e. that jarring wailing in "Fire Burning," a song I otherwise like okay). "Ooh My Love" is good, but it keeps going on and on well past its expiration date. There are a lot of solid songs on this set, but none of the material quite reaches "classic" level to me. In that regard, it's a lot like RAL to me. Few strikeouts, but no home runs. But I'm glad people enjoy this album. It deserves to be heard. Last edited by brad975; 03-05-2015 at 10:37 AM.. |

Stevie ran away from Betty Ford. I know today she claims she finished the complete stint. But I remember on MTV news it claimed she ditched the place and said it was really stupid.
I don't recall this either! I do recall clearly that she did NOT go of her own volition as she also now claims. There was very definitely an intervention to get her to go. Her management at the time, Frontline Mgmt (Irving Azoff) was part of it, and she was so pissed about it (a la "no one has the balls to tell me what to do!") that she fired them. The line in Welcome to the Room, Sara is about them "Frontline baby/well you held her prisoner/ even after all of these years/as well as you knew her/in the never-forgotten words/of another one of your friends/when you hang up that phone/well you cease to exist" |

please don't tell me you loved those hideous satin coats she wore with the enormous shoulder pads. I'd actually welcome them now because they were at least colorful but definitely not my favorite look of hers.

But to each their own. I like TOSOTM so much better than RAL because Stevie got back to writing and almost all the songs were written by her. On RAL she hardly wrote any of the songs. RAL lacks passion IMHO with all the programmed drums, programmed bass, etc. TOSOTM has very deep writing and most time real instruments playing which adds so much passion. Its supposed to be rock n roll after all But everyone likes something different I suppose |

It's really too bad that Nicks seems so out of it. This could have been a great bluesy stomper, better than the version on OSOTM, if it were more focused.

It was one for you but three for me It was very nice, it was everything (overindulgence) So here it is, in little pieces (emotionlly falling apart) I just played the part, I didn't win or lose (retaining image/par for course) Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling (trusting intuition) And the whispered secrets go on and on (circulated rumors of personal issues) You watch after her and your word is law (necessary enforced discipline ) She thought she was out there but nobody saw ( lacking awareness of the crisis) I didn't win or lose, I just threw the cards (unpredictable outcome) But I paid a price for it (sacrifices and losses suffered) I was silent, I was locked away, but I covered my tears, silent all day Its out of my hands here (loss of control ) In my distress I wanted someone to blame me. In my devastation I wanted so to change (shame and hope) In my way, disaster was the only thing I could depend on (self- annihilation)
