I am buying an ipod for my mom for her birthday. i want to engrave it with a very brief Stevie lyric. I'm having trouble finding an appropriate one. First off, i would prefer the lyric be from a Mac track (although Edge of 17 is likely Mom's fave stevie track). Any ideas?

"It makes no difference at all cause I wear boots all summer long" :p (sorry, that line always makes me laugh)

Maybe you should go with something from Rhiannon, like "She is a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness" or, since your mom's fave is Edge of 17, go with "Just like a white-winged dove"

fom wild heart..."dont blame it on me..." OR from bella donna..."and we fight for the northern star...." "...come in out of the darkness." all these have very positive messages...hope it helps or at least triggers some ideas...post ur final decision..would like to know what u decide on

How about:

"The forgotten chimpanzee"

"Wussamattababy?"

"They may tell you that you hold the world in your hands, but they always give it back"

"Rock on ancient queen!" is definitely what you should put on it.

I'm thinking "Rock on ancient queen!" cuz she loves that song, has the tshirt, AND that makes sense to be on an iPod (which she'll also primarily use for exercising -- so that's a good motivational quote!)

I once had something engraved for my best friend which I got for her 18th birthday which said 'something in you brought out something in me'. I loved this line because it appropriately described mine and my friend's relationship.

"There is magic all around you."

Seriously reconsider using 'Rock on ancient queen." It's a nice lyric, but giving anyone anything enscribed with the phrase "ancient queen" has sensitive implications and could easily be misconstrued as derogitory.

Once I sent an angry email to one of my gay friends, and signed off with that phrase. He told me that was the part that hurt the most! :laugh:

In the context of the song, it seems like such a bitter, cynical, condescending line, especially when it's followed by the line "...follow those who pale in your shadow." My interpretation of this is that the "ancient queen" is the same person as "the lady" who goes thin in "Bella Donna" - the drug-addled hot mess who is a shadow of her former self who has become merely a follower rather than an innovator. Not the most flattering thing to say about someone, particularly your mother!

How's this instead... "I have changed, oh, but you... You remain ageless."
