I love that part - I think it is GREAT example of her ability to write and make a subtle cahnge that coveys huge differences. I also like the song AND I think the original with the flute sounded even better :cool:

[amber]

sorry - WISYA, yes - Silver Girl? just can't. :distress:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Stevie wrote and sang it. So that means............















.......I Love It!


I agree with J that keeping the flute would have made it much better.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I agree. I can't hate a Stevie song because I love Stevie so much. Besides that, I think Silver Girl is OK. It is my least favorite song on SYW but I do love that end part.

[Vianna]

I like Silver Girl-it's no Sara or Storms but I like it

[tynan88]

Meh, I don't mind it really Lux, I don't mind XMas either, I am here now in my bedroom typing this on my new laptop!

I don't hate it. In fact, I kinda like it. It's never, ever going to make my list of all-time favs or anything like that but I don't despise it or anything either.

[Hawkeye]

I really Love Silver Girl. It's far superior to When I See You Again. I think all 9 of Stevie's SYW songs are freaking gems, And I believe the flute is till in Silver Girl, just listen carefully.

Where can this version be found? I don't believe I've ever heard it.

[Kelly]

You can hear that version of Silver Girl on the Destiny Rules doc when Stevie and LB play her cd of four new demos. Stevie is at the console when it starts and she says "this is Silver Girl and its about Sheryl"..then she turns and plays air flute for John and Mick.

I agree. :nod: It's there, just not loud enough.

[NicksIllume]

The only thing I dislike about Silver Girl is that is was written about Sheryl. I love the chorus and the insane far beyond her years line.

[Serrart]

It's grown on me, and the chorus is great. Hope the version with the flute will emerge sooner or later. :nod:

It's grown on me too, musically. I especially like the end ("You cannot see her soul"); Mick does some exciting drumming in that part that gives it a little kick.

However, the lyrics are some of her worst ever. They're simply rotten. :sorry:

Hey! Stevie wrote "Desert Angel" too, Curtis! :laugh: :)

:laugh: Aww...you got me!


I guess there are exceptions to every rule. Desert Angel is one of them.

[kak125]

Hey I happen to love Silver Girl. I liked it the first time that I heard it. I love the "you cannot see her soul line". There is something about the way that Stevie sings that line that sounds like the younger version of her voice. I also love Desert Angel so I guess I am in the minority here. There really arent too many Stevie songs that I can say I dont really like except for When I See You Again. That one is just terrible but I love all the rest.

[petep9000]

Although there are no credits on the liner notes indicating this, I have a strong vibe that Sharon and Lori are singing background on 'Silver Girl'. Is this possible, or is it just layering of Stevie's vocals? I kind of like this song, I think it has a wispy sort of a relaxing type sound. It's not on my top 10 worst Stevie songs list, anyway. :wavey:

[tynan88]

I didn't see the xmas panel lux, but im guessing it was good they are always funny.

As for Silver Girl, i can honestly say I don't dislike any Stevie song, and this is actually more one of my faves as opposed to an unfave.

my friend sent me a mp3 of silver girl from center and surround and you can really hear the flute and the background vocals too. sounds really cool. if anyone wants the mp3..PM me.

[Johnny Stew]

When I first read that Stevie had a new song called "Silver Girl," I was a little... concerned.
"Silver Springs"... "Sweet Girl"... "Silver Girl".... Eek! :shocked:

Then I had an opportunity to read the lyrics before the album came out, and I really dug the song.

Then I HEARD the track, and I was back to not being wild about it.

I guess when I read the lyrics, I pictured this really perky, fun song... something like a latter-day "Enchanted" or "I Don't Want To Know."
So the whole semi-ballad thing threw me for a loop.

But I have since come to really enjoy the track, and while I'd still be inclined to agree that it's Stevie's "weakest" song on 'Say You Will,' I don't think it's bad at all. Just not quite as amazing as her other tracks. :)

(P.S., add me to the list of people who want to get their greedy little hands on Stevie's original demo version.)

I totally agree with you Brian.

I for one, am more eager to hear Stevie's demo of Illume...

Silver Girl is the most horrid excuse for a string of notes and words to be released on a FM album. The song creates feelings not only of nausea resulting in projectile vomitting, but also bitterness due to the realisation that disc space was wasted on such rubbish when any of a number of Lindsey's masterpieces could have occupied this precious fragment of 4th dimensional quality.
WOW r we a little bitter?!?!? :shrug: ~

[GODDESS6]

i love it!!! :nod: ~

[Gypsy3]

As some people have already said, it's really difficult for me to find any Stevie songs that I really hate. This song is alright. The lyrics are a little cheesy and the production is a little iffy, but in the end, everything comes together and I can appreciate it. The chorus does have a nice ring to it, if there's anything I really like a lot about this song. Yes, the flute is still in the album version. Just listen. It has a nice harmony effect. ;)

[jadegypsy]

I don't mind Silver Girl, in fact I really like the lyrics, but i wish the music behind them had more bounce, a bit more like how Sweet girl had bounce...Otherwise it's just a song that kinda ranks in the middle for me. :cool:

[laurarox]

Are Stevie and Sheryl still friends? For awhile they were glued at the hip. Now I haven't seen or heard anything about their friendship.

[strandinthewind]

I am sure they are - but as La Nicks has said many a time - when FM calls - there is little time for anyone or anything else - plus La Crow has a BF - which tends to sep. friends a little. Finally, La Crow had her own stuff to promote last year.
