You are all so kind. :angel: Thank you for being so sweet! I'm just so glad that it is enjoyed by other fans. Thanks so much!!! :wavey:

[ricohv]

Yes, it's a nice site, and the home of the super fabu Wild Heart themed desktop and screensaver that now grace my computer! I f*cking love them!!!!!! And Miss Claudia was very helpful when I e-mailed asking how to turn off the noises. Which of course was not noise at all, it was the song Wild Heart-just a bit much for my insolent roommates who must always complain about something!
Thanks again Claudia!

Here it is, December, time to break out the Christmas music again. I remember last year I saw the making of Silent Night on youtube, actual footage of Stevie recording in the studio. I think it was from Stevie Nicks Info.... now this live performance is all I can find. Does anyone have this video they could post on youtube? I know it would inspire some Christmas spirit for a lot of Stevie fans!

Hi All,It's that time of the year,Is radio playing Stevie's Silent Night?A couple of stations here are.Anyway I will say everytime I hear this song ,I break up,due to my mom,this was her favorite xmas song.it played today at 12noon on the radio , especially today [dec 7] would of been her 78th birthday.I think she had something to do about it. anyway on a happier note have any of you hear if Chris Issacs Santa Cluas is coming to town on the radio alot, I only heard it once.

[samthrax]

I don't listen to the radio so I can't say if I've heard it on there BUT I did introduce my mom to this song the other day. She loved it!

[Richard B]

I know she recorded this twice, first with Robbie Nevil on back up and then a second...I think live? Which version is better?I have the first one and debating the second, but the 30 second sample is not enough to know if it's worth it.
Any advice?

I was wondering about this too. However it's my understanding that she sang it live one time. In 87 her version was on that Christmas album. But isn't this a different version then what she sang with Robbie Nevil? Maybe a studio version? Also, the second time she did this was in 2001. Is this live or studio though? Both of these are on itunes.

howd you get that?

[vermicious knid]

You can go to yes.com, and enter in your zip code, and there will be a list of all your radio stations, and it will show you all the songs they are playing. Silent Night is not on my AC station's list of the top 100 songs played. In fact, Silent Night isn't being played by any artist, whereas Silver Bells and Sleigh Ride have a whole slew of versions by different people being played. Silent Night discrimination!

[Troddew]

On this day 22 years ago my mother was born into eternal life. It was the same year that the "A Very Special Christmas Album" was released featuring Stevie Nicks singing Silent Night. My mom loved it and asked me to play it all of the time.

A few months later when she was in hospice, some Carrollers came around and stopped at her room to ask us what we would like to hear. My mom sat up and said Silent Night. !!

They were a chorus of angels and the more they saw me try not to cry the louder and more angelic they would sing. To this day I have never heard it sung more beautifully.

So today I'm dedicating Stevie singing Silent Night for my Mom's Birthday into Eternal rest

I love and miss you and I'm proud to be your son! Merry Christmas Ma, at least I don't have to buy you a Christmas present;) (sorry Ma I had to)

This was the first thing I read when I woke up this morning. Sad but inspiring story. I am sure your mom appreciates it still every time it is played. :)

[Nathan]

anyone want to post these for the thousandth time for download?

thanks.

[jannieC]

This post really resonates with me right now. Thank you for posting and wishing you a peaceful and loving holiday season.

[baboles]

Thank you for sharing that story with us. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year as well. "Silent Night" is one of my all time favorites.

No problemo. Wanted it on my iPod anyway so I figured I may as well share after converting the YouTube file for myself.

wow, it's really good, I've never listened to the whole thing before.

strange how the absence of the video makes it so much better, lol. :laugh:

I find most things are much better when a key sense is deprived, the visuals being the case here. No video could ever be as good as what the mind is forced to create for itself. Thus why I will always prefer the book over the movie version, anyday.

good point on the book and movies. sn may be the exception to that rule, in many cases though. generally though, i'd jump right on that bandwagon.

Thank you all for the kind words today, it was a bright spot in my day:)

[johnny4406]

does anyone have the newer version of this that came out in 2001?

[Sahara]

A beautiful tribute to your mum :) I'm sure she's proud to have you for a son!

[UndoingTheLaces]

Drew, what a beautiful story to share this holiday season. I've never heard the term "born into eternal life" before and it's such a great way to describe someone's passing, because they are never truly gone, they just move on to the next great adventure. Thank you for sharing.

Ironically, I was just in my car thinking about this song and was going to post a new thread about it, and here one is. I was going to remark how I go to church with my family every year on Christmas eve and at some point everyone sings Silent Night together. And being that I love to sing I always enjoy this part of mass. But I do have to admit, the little devilish imp that I am, I always want to, at some point in the song, belt out... "WELL IT WAS A..." :)

Happy Holidays everyone!

Excerpt from Dennis Peck from The Oregonian, an article on Christmas traditions [Maybe John taught her how to sing it from his days as a tax man]:

http://www.oregonlive.com/hg/index.ssf/2011/12/making_your_own_wreath.html

When writing about Christmas traditions -- and when you've been around as long as I have, there are a lot to remember -- it's hard to decide where to start.
Do I start with the Christmas tree that almost crushed me?

Or the "Macarena" -singing gorilla in a Santa suit?

Or maybe Stevie Nicks' version of "Silent Night"?
Or the time my sister and I were almost arrested?

* * *

For years, we'd gather with family on Christmas Eve and, in the misery-loves-company vein, what started as a "you won't believe how bad this song is" kind of thing became a friendly, then fierce, competition to see who could come up with the worst holiday song every year, which, of course, we were all then subjected to.

And, Fleetwood Mac aside, there's nothing quite as horrifying (although Johnny Cash's "The Little Drummer Boy" was close) to Stevie Nicks singing "Silent Night" with all the emotion of an IRS auditor. Not that King Diamond's 1986, uh, heavy metal classic "No Presents for Christmas" is exactly easy on the ears (bit.ly/uty9we, if you want to listen).

Hi All

Happy Holidays to everyone!

This is just a little something, a re-tracking of Stevie’s live performance from the 1987 ‘Top of the Pops’ Christmas special to the studio version. I simply wanted a nice sounding clip so I had my buddy re-track the performance. It matches up rather well.

Happy Holidays to all of you! :)

One thing we still do is make sure we listen to Stevie Nicks’ rendition of “Silent Night” as she wraps her husky sexy raspy voice around the innocent lyrics. “And it was a silent night,” she improvises. If you can’t laugh at the juxtaposition, especially at holiday time, then I submit to you that you are simply dead inside.

[DashingDan]

Geometrical plans.

[Macfanforever]

What kills me is some radio stations refuse or dont bother to play Stevie's Silent Night because of the altered lyrics and remove it from their holiday music playlist.

Give her a break guys.

But do you think it's really Stevie's doing? I can imagine her trying to appease people by not including religious-themed lyrics in an almost entirely secular Christmas album, but I can also imagine someone telling her she couldn't go against the grain of everyone else who didn't sing religious-themed songs, and her getting upset.

On that .I dont know.

I know she does want to hurt anybody's feelings.

"Gabriel's Message" and "The Little Drummer Boy" are on there.
