What does Stevie think of Brian Wilson's "Stevie"?

[InDreams]

Does anyone know if Stevie has been quoted to say anything about the song that Brian Wilson wrote for her?

[gldstwmn]

I've never heard it. Can anyone post it?

[InDreams]

I understand that he wrote this around 1980 with Dennis. And it's somewhat of a bootleg. I've not heard the song, but a group called St Etienne has released it on one of their albums.

Stevie

Written by Brian Wilson

I have adored you for so long
And the vibrations are so strong
You make me feel like I belong

And when the sun goes down so slow
Evening shadows seem to glow
I'm waiting here for you, alone

Walking closer in my dreams
Closer every day, it seems
Taking care of all the ordinary things

I'd wait for days to be with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
It's such a special event, that's true

Yes, I know you're one of a kind
It's OK, come inside my mind
You might be surprised what you find

Wish there was something you would do
I'm waiting for your love to break through
'Cause, Stevie, I'd love to share with you

Have I been dreaming 'bout your song?
Why has it taken me so long
To say what's been so hard to say

Hey, you're just around the corner
You don't have to feel like a foreigner
Won't you come a little bit closer to me?

I'd wait for days to be with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
It's such a special event, that's true

Yes, I know you're one of a kind
It's OK, come inside my mind
You might be surprised what you find

I have adored you for so long
And the vibrations are so strong
You make me feel like I belong

And when the sun goes down so slow
Evening shadows seem to glow
I'm waiting here for you, alone...

Were they ever a couple that we know of?

I think this is wonderful!
When did he write this?
Junior High??? . . . :rolleyes: :D
Anyway just to "spice things up" a little - - -
Aren't Brian Wilson and Lindsey B. friends???

[InDreams]

I believe Lindsey and Brian Wilson are friends, and remember that Christine McVie was dating Dennis Wilson at the time of his death. So, they probably hung out together some.

[gldstwmn]

Were they ever a couple that we know of?

I don't know if it was a couple. Maybe I'm mixing up Brian with Dennis.

[Nicksluvver]

All I can say about this tidbit is - WOW.

[lagringader&r]

All I can say about this tidbit is - WOW.

I agree 150%. Let's back this up. Brian Wilson had a thing with Stevie? *Did* her maybe? Dennis Wilson had a thing with Christine and *did* Lindsey's gf. The Beach Boys were Lindsey's idols. No wonder the dude is so messed up. This news tho is news to me. Brian was in love with Stevie? When was this? I can't say much for that song tho.

Dennis and Stevie also "dated" before he and Christine did.

Awww poor Lindsey, I know he was far from a saint, but why did his friends do that to him? I wonder how he found out that Dennis was with his gf - which gf was it? At least Mick told him about Stevie, but maybe only because they were in the Mac together.

:shocked: These peeps make me look like a nun. They're like the musical chairs of sex. :shocked:

I think it was the gf right after Stevie. He picked up with somebody really quick I think. All I knew was that Christine and Dennis were *dating* and Lindsey and this chick were *dating* and the chick and Dennis hooked up. I don't know the gf's name. I didn't know Stevie and Dennis hooked up too. She really liked the Eagles, FM and the Beach Boys didn't she? REALLY liked them.

[LeighB04]

Talk about playing musical beds!!!

[chiliD]

Were they ever a couple that we know of?

Maybe for an hour or two. :lol:

[Kelly]

Did anyone ever hear back then that she hooked up with Brian? We know she slept with Dennis but Brian?!? That song is sort of....obsessive! No wonder she has never commented on it. Poor Linds...all his male friends seemed to want her. :p Now that I think about it, she really did hook up with alot of his friends! What an incestuous mess back then. :D

[Kelly]

Can I just say, that not everyone believes this song is about Stevie Nicks. Brian Wilson fans are divided on the issue, and since Wilson has never stated it is about her, we can only guess.

I would much rather the song not be about her. Brian and Stevie just do not go together in my mind. Actually neither do Joe Walsh and Stevie and she obviously loved him madly so...what do I know?

[Johnny Stew]

Can I just say, that not everyone believes this song is about Stevie Nicks. Brian Wilson fans are divided on the issue, and since Wilson has never stated it is about her, we can only guess.Yeah, many of Wilson's fans insist that it was actually written about Stevie Wonder.

Certainly male songwriters have composed nods to fellow male songwriters in the past (Lindsey's "Johnny Stew," John Stewart's "Liddy Buck," the Commodores' "Nightshift," and so on), but it seems pretty strange for one straight man to sing these lyrics to another straight man:

"I'd wait for days to be with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
It's such a special event, that's true

Yes, I know you're one of a kind
It's OK, come inside my mind
You might be surprised what you find

Wish there was something you would do
I'm waiting for your love to break through
'Cause, Stevie, I'd love to share with you"

But then, maybe Brian Wilson was a little bi-curious! A lot of straight guys go through that phase. :laugh:

[Raeven Skye]

maybe it was for Stevie Miller

[dissention]

But then, maybe Brian Wilson was a little bi-curious! A lot of straight guys go through that phase. :laugh:

I can just picture Wilson taking advantage of a blind man, too.

[amber]

:shocked: These peeps make me look like a nun. They're like the musical chairs of sex. :shocked:

:laugh: :lol:
yeah, that whole "Wilsons" thing is hard for me to keep track of...:shocked:
I'm like "so, wait, then Christine dated him? But when did Stevie date the other one? Did Christine date that one, too?" etc.

But it's just what everyone did anyway.

[rbs3676]

...hmmm...someone should send this question to the Nicks Fix and see what happens...

[catinthedark]

Yeah, it's hard to say isn't it? I can't imagine Stevie having an affair with Brian Wilson though, but he may well have been besotted with her.

That's what I've always thought. He had a major crush.

[Ghost_Tracker]

Dennis and Stevie also "dated" before he and Christine did.

:rolleyes:

I think I read that in Cath Carroll's book.

He probably wouldn't even forward it to her. Come to think of it, she hasn't answered any Ask Stevie questions in quite awhile. I am sure she was incredibly busy this summer but she did send us some letters/journals entries. I asked one or two questions a few years ago and never got an answer. :(

I think I agree with you...The song is o.k. I guess, I just have this mental picture of the Partridge Family singing harmony in the background....it just doesn't sync in my mind.

Maybe he wrote it about Stevie from like Lindsey's perspective or someone else's but not his. Stevie and any beach boy..................scares me :sorry:
