Inspiration

I can see why this song didn’t make the cut on Street Angel. I still like it better than Love is Like a River but the lyrics to this song are horrible. I know Stevie didn’t write it but OMG. I do love the vocals. Her 1994 voice was so so good.

I love Love is like a River. Its so autobiographical . The lyrics are incredible

You used to call me wicked (oh yes many called Stevie wicked)
I used to call you friend
They say your life is wild
Compared to what lifestyle (she gives it right back to those judging her)
You must have many things to remember
Cause nothing else in your life has really changed
Everything is almost like it was before (she is so ritualistic and I can relate)

Some call it love
Some say they're above that
Well I believed in love
I called it worth it (being so optimistic about love)

This was the only song I really liked and it never made the album. Bad lyrics - Blue Denim

Yup, Blue Denim has some of the all time worst lyrics.

I had to remind myself what Inspiration was. Good vocal—heartfelt, passionate, wistful. What's the story behind its writing (by the son of the evil producer)?

I think it's pretty. I used to have the cassingle, I listened to it so many times. There's something about it that takes me to a happy, pleasant place. I like the lyrics, even though people think they're silly.

My thoughts exactly.
