[SapphireSister]

My walls are flaming over this one :laugh:.

[LiquidBlue5000]

.."she depends on her music like a husband" :rolleyes:

[dissention]

Ghosts

I could care less if I'm in the minority, but I think it's one of her worst songs.

[macfanken]

Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin)

[LiquidBlue5000]

Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin)

:mad: :mad: :p

[UnwindedDreams]

Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin) yahtzee!!!!!!!!!!!

[AliceLover]

...........................

[Dreammms]

Cry Wolf must go and it must go NOW!


yes it must! :nod:

[sparky]

"The Silver haired girl looks for escapism ?" :lol:

Silver what ? Centrum Silver ? Silver Girl ?

The silver haired girl looks for a tranquilizer is more like it.

Tough choice.

This, Alice, and Cry Woof are about on the same level for me.

[GypsyBoy87]

i do like this song dont get me wrong

[1934mission]

too much of a Ghost thing

[catinthedark]

Keep cryin', baby. See if anyone cares.

[HejiraNYC]

...to save "Ghosts"!!

[CreepingDeath]

I was going to vote for Whole Lotta Trouble, but Ghosts needs to be saved.

[Glittermoondust]

once too often.........

[DavidMn]

Ooh my Love.

[Nightbird17]

It was one for you...it was three for me
It was very nice...it was everything

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz wake me when its over

[Neal]

.."she depends on her music like a husband" :rolleyes:

I really do like the song, but that one incredibly corny line gets it my vote...

[golden braid]

Ghosts and Escape From Berlin need to stay.

[BombaySapphire3]

Cry Wolf Doing the Best that I can(Escape from Berlin) is one of her best songs of the last 20 years, and one of the ones the Europop production of Rupert Hines really worked for .

[Hippocampus]

I completely agree... it is one of Stevie's 'masterpieces'.. i put it right up there with the likes of "Beautiful Child", "Sara", "Beauty And The Beast", "Trouble In Shangri-La", etc... and i totally mean that

[Wild_Heart03]

sorry, Jimmy.

[skcin]

snoooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeee......

[TheBlueLamp]

Tough choice. CW to go only because WLT would be a wasted vote

[skcin]

I completely agree... it is one of Stevie's 'masterpieces'.. i put it right up there with the likes of "Beautiful Child", "Sara", "Beauty And The Beast", "Trouble In Shangri-La", etc... and i totally mean that


And I completely agree with you. That song's darkness & desperation is palpable. :nod:

[Bwana]

This is my favourite Stevie solo album. :blob2:

Whole Lotta Trouble

[David]

To sing blues -- even pandering elevator blues like this -- you should not be a 1990-era Stevie Nicks!

Back in 1975 & 1976 (& again in the early to mid 1980s), Stevie could have sung some really good blues & blues-rock. I'm sorry we don't have much of that on record. Instead, we have inanities like Mick the Screecher on our reissues.

She sings some good blues on that recording of her club concert with Les Dudek from Bodega Bay in 1985. But the sound quality needs to be better on that.

Anyway, long way to say: Whole Lotta Trouble really sucks. I don't pay much attention to Stevie lyrics anyway (I guess because I read Chuck Dickens), but some of these words are of absolutely no aesthetic value:

Would you stop for a second/I bet you could think for a minute
This could be a whole lotta trouble, a whole lotta trouble, a whole lotta trouble for you/Would you change your mind/At the very last minute

blah blah blah . . . . this is just filler. To extrapolate anything personal out of this filler is to hyperinterpret to the point of daffiness. In the greatest blues, lyrics aren't all that toweringly essential anyway -- they serve a specific purpose in terms of allowing the vocalist to focus style & phrasing (think of Peter Green's lyrics to "I Loved Another Woman" or some of his other songs) But for self-proclaimed poet Stevie Nicks, she solicits our attention to her words, so if they're rotten, she must pay the piper & risk our criticism.

I remember reading some stuff about her talking about Whole Lotta Trouble. And i guess she really likes this song because it is one of the few songs that stayed the way it was as she wrote it.

.......good thing they dont let her do that anymore. :D

[Richard B]

This is a stinker.

[GypsyBoy87]

What a buzzkill! I really love that song lol. Now I'll never look at it the same.

Dave what a great post. I totally agree. Whole Lotta Trouble has got to go. But after Cry Wolf.

I am also happy Stevie doesn't do it live anymore. What a bore that was.

[ontheEdgeof17]

okay song and the beginning of that whole "my life is just sooooo hard" era she went through, which I did not really care for that much.

That era started with Sisters of the Moon, baby love.

[strandinthewind]

That era started with Sisters of the Moon, baby love.

True - but it was hidden in mysterious and provocative prose like "she was dark at the top of the stair and she called to me" - as opposed to "get some ribbons and some bows" "your back out on the road again for a million reasons, well your back ot on the road again" :eek:

And that glorious line "She depends on her music like a husband." :rolleyes:

That is the Stevie that I despise; the one who writes songs about how hard her rock and roll lifestyle is. Fug. And when she starts with that "I'm a poet" crap, I get the dry heaves.

I think Ghosts was a close miss in that it has some cool images in it, but it was not that great.

and as for Street Angel survivor, i wanted Greta all the way. Eff Off.

I sentence you to watch shows about Paris Hilton for the rest of your life. Oh, and I hate you. Don't take it personal, i hate everyone who voted for Cry Wolf right now. :woohoo:

[AliceLover]

Im surprised at how many people don't like the song. Ive always liked it.

[amber]

Im surprised at how many people don't like the song. Ive always liked it.
Me, too. Weird. I mean, I know everyone is suprised when others don't like songs they like, but this song is so...simple. I mean, I can understand not loving it, but hating it? Weird. You know, it's just some nice, clear words, with a nice pretty melody and vocal. no big. There's nothing really strange or bad in it. Nothing earth shatteringly great, either. (although i really like the notes chosen for the melody). Nothing classicly "self absorbed, bad lyrics Stevie." The vocals are fine. The production is simple, it highlights the vocal, it's very spare. :confused:
I JUST DON'T GET IT, JIMMEH!!! :laugh:

And when people say "C'mon, Cry Wolf????" I say - that's one of the least lame lyrics Stevie has ever sung, and yes, I know she didn't write it. I find "Cry Wolf" universal - everyone knows what that means, it's very clear. :woohoo:

My favorite part is the chorus. I just always liked the song, although when she says "If you start to crack" It always sounds like crap to me. I get a kick out of it everytime. :laugh:

sorry, about paris paris or about man paris? i'd watch show about man paris for the rest of my life. not really, but i'd take him over her any day. love you, amber :wavey:

Paris Hilton. And her little dog, too! *cackle* And it's fabulous stupid ass five hundred dollar grooming. HaHA!!! Then you have to date that weird Monkey Man. :D

[strandinthewind]

I didn't think her fiance was too weird :shrug:

She's dating Dubya? :confused:

[amber]

I didn't think her fiance was too weird :shrug:
:lol: :lol:
hahahahaha. No, by "Monkey Man" I'm referring to a documentary about an actual monkey/man hybrid that someone bred, that we watched in the hotel room at the same time we were watching a stupid VH1 thing about Paris Hilton, and then about the treatments her and Nicole's dogs get every week, which cost more than my whole clothes budget for a year. To get your dog's nails done. :rolleyes:
But seriously - this monkey man?!?! you should see this. It really is a hybrid. :shocked: :shocked: Freak out. Easy, brilliant scientists. :confused: Can't you work on a cure for Cancer, instead of human/ape crossbreeds? Thanks. :shocked: (it was really freaky!) And yes, it did resemble George Dubya, but it looked smarter... :lol:

Was it about an ape that walked upright, like a human? If so, I think I saw that.

[SapphireSister]

Dave what a great post. I totally agree. Whole Lotta Trouble has got to go. But after Cry Wolf.

I am also happy Stevie doesn't do it live anymore. What a bore that was.

First Cry Wolf and now WLT? I thought you loved me :(. Those are my songs!!

[SapphireSister]

Since it's going to be gone anyone I thought I'd bust out my rendintion....

You can try but you can't get me...into the fiyahhhhhhh

Love this song!!

[amber]

It wasn't only that. He had a weird human like face, and light eyes, or something. He was clearly a mix. It was sooo creepulous.

I like it too and I think her vocal is good. The song is not very Stevie though - maybe that is why people don't like it.

I love the music and the vocals. I think it's very powerful actually. Maybe people don't like it because it's not full of vague metaphors...

The piano arrangement is beutiful and I can relate to the lyrics, especially the part about being out of sympathy. I've put up with a lot of sh*t with past lovers so I can relate to the whole concept of crying wolf. "Find yourself somebody new to catch you when you fall". Damn straight! lol

[strandinthewind]

^^^^^

I totally relate to them as well.

I agree with Whole Lotta Trouble being a bore live. The only time I ever thought it came off well, was on NYE House of Blues. That and Rooms On Fire were awesome. I have not heard either since.

Just be thankful that the Kenny G stuff was cut.
