[Macfanforever]

"What's warmer than a sun drenched land?,your hand,your hand - YIKES!!!

All of the lyrics to "Cheaper Than Free" - double YIKES!

What's sappier than an oak tree,Cheaper than Free!:laugh:

Having said that,I think Stevie and Dave sing it beautifully.

Still love ya babe.:xoxo::angel:

I love "Cheaper Than Free".I think its cute.

I'm glad Stevie does not have the repetitive lyric habits like some other writers of rock and any other types of music saying the same old crap a hundred times for 4 minutes.
I wish others learn from her and sing something senseful.

I dont mind a couple times with a verse.

"They run from the one who hunts them, They drop to the forest floor...frozen" I hate the lyrical changes she made to this song. The obvious references to that horrible movie is clunky and takes away a little bit from what was a great song.

Yeah, the added lyrics do absolutely nothing for me. And she dropped one of my favorite bits: "think that you could use a dreamer somewhere on your side." Honestly, I think my favorite version of the song is actually this cover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hkBgqty47E) by White Widow from some years ago, because it streamlines the lyrics but leaves in my favorite lines.

She's got some habits that others have mentioned that drive me up the wall. There's the repetitive "well" and "baby," which are basically the vocal version of her you-knowing before every sentence (no Stevie, we don't know), and definitely the "he said, she said, I said, my famous friend said" is frustrating, and Lord give me strength for the times when they all intersect.

As far as more specific lines, rather than focusing on lyrics from songs that are generally pretty rough to start with, I thought I'd mention some things that make me go "..." from songs I really love:

Sable on Blonde has "In silence she says... 'excalibur.'" It is just utterly odd. I think the sentiment behind it is beautiful: learning to live with yourself and depend on yourself and not always calling on your most precious magic, your friends, every time you feel like you're having a crisis, just learning to help yourself. But that's not made particularly clear.

I can never decide how I feel about "you can ride high atop your pony" in Bella Donna. Really the song as a whole is kind of random lyrically, but then it has some lines I really enjoy ("come in out of the darkness" and "your face becomes thin, you never thought it could") and sounds so good that I don't really care, but I usually hope that when I first introduce it to someone they are so awed by the epicness that follows that they completely forget about the pony line. I always kind of want to cringe a little, maybe because ponies have an association with fanciful little girls and only that in my head, so it seems childish. I get her drift, it's a circus, and I kinda like the trapeze and scaring all the people part. But it's like, "This is how you want to start your solo career? With ponies?" The answer to that is, of course, yes, because she's Stevie, and really, that fanciful little girl is still alive in her and lives right alongside the wise, down-to-earth survivor, and isn't that the kind of contradiction and complexity that makes us love her?

Also, hi everyone! Longtime lurker, though I haven't been around much in the past few years. I thought I'd finally wade in because I'm pretty excited about the new album.

Hi and welcome:wavey: Yes the pony-phony lines bothered me for a while, and I know what you mean - why at the very start of the album?! :shocked: But I love the song and album so much that I'm now ok with those lines. Interesting to read your comments. :)

Well, I talked to my famous friend last night, and she said stop making fun of Stevie.

And I said "No not really!"

In silence, she said "Excalibur."

And I said, "Well, I've got to know when I can make fun of Stevie again, well!!! I can't wait well!"

"Well I wonder which set of doors are mine," said she.

Then we popped some Klonopin. And we we stared at the stairs. And she walked down the long hallway.

And I twirled around and shouted, "In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you!"

Then I found her tangled in the curtains. Long nets of white clouded her memory. Or maybe it was the Klonopin.

So we did a pile of coke. And took selfies in the mirror.

There were candles and there were crystals. We were anyone's fantasy.

"Oh undercover music lover and an art lover like me," I said. Then I nonchalantly dropped my copy of "Street Angel" in the trash.

And she snapped her fingers in my face and said, "Oh no, you cannot tell a gypsy... ooh, that she's no longer a member. Become a deadly weapon now... along with everything else."

And I said, "Bitch, I was born in the desert. I know what it's like to have Gulf War Syndrome."

"Well aren't you're a front liner?" she quipped. "You put it all on the line!"

So I calmed her down and handed her some decaf. "Step into the velvet of the morning, girl."

So we put on our bathrobes. That's what that means, you know.

Ok. This is the part where everyone murders me in the most violent and gruesome way possible...
Aside from "Wide Sargasso Sea" and "Annabel Lee" (yeah I know she didn't write it.) I think ALL the songs on IYD were really poorly written and a good number of them poorly produced.:sorry: I was so beyond disappointed with this record. I try to like it because its the woman I've admired and wanted to be like since I was a little girl, but I just can't. I never thought there'd be a day when I'd not like a Stevie Nicks song. This is actually quite devastating :'(
