Spaciest Songs

Also, "Sister of the Moon" the whole I saw myself in the mirror - thin and pale and then asked my alter self to be my sister of the moon and help me make it and be strong so I do not die theme is a space trip that made a great song particularly live and, IMHO an even better paino demo.

Hell yes. The piano demo of SOTM is fabulous. I would love to hear her do that live, or have it included on the new re-release of Tusk.

Stevie -
The Nightmare
Sable on Blonde (would make no sense if I hadn't read her explanation. I mean "In silence she says...'Excalibur'...What was it that fell" etc. - WTF!)

Lindsey -
This is the Time (from OOTC - hope I got the title right)

Chris -
I'll need to think.

And Sara has the spaciest sound to it.

The first song that came to my mind is Stevie's Gate and Garden

That's been a head scratcher for years

There is a gate...it can be guarded (Ok)
Well it is not heaven (fine) and it has a garden...(mmmmmkay)
So to the red rose grows the passion...(pretty)

And the guardian (who? where did they come from?)
Well it's now you know...(what?)
It's just a few days away...(what is?)
It's now you know....(WHAT IS?)
And it's then....(When? What?)
It's just a game that we play...(It is??)

Someone steals it....(steals what?)
Someone steals it away...(how could they if the gate had a guard?)
It scares you to death....(WHAT IS IT?)
You don't give in to yourself
You give in to your friends....(somewhat poetic line)

Don't send an answer....(what the hell WAS the question?)
How many times have you said, Do I love you
Well I always did
Nobody knows nothing 'bout it....(ABOUT WHAT?)

Well it's now you know (WHAT?)
It's everywhere....(what is and can I catch it?)
You say you seek the truth
I say all is fair

(I say I'm confused )

I think "That's All For Everyone" is incredibly spacy - musically and lyrically - in the best possible ways.

I have trouble understanding a lot of Stevie's songs. But that doesn't bother me anymore. I'll just ask Johnny Stew for an explanation now.

I think that was meant as a compliment... I'm a bit unsure though. But I'll definitely take it as one!

LOL - your interpretation was WONDERFUL!!! It had me falling off my chair laughing. It's all true ---your questions are all legitimate!! That song is baffling!!

Thanks Goldie!!

I still don't know what IT is...but IT must be very important because IT is mentioned at least 20 times

Guess this song is best left to the imagination!!
