I know this is going to be an amazing video! Especially with Dave directing it, he's been so good for Stevie. It would be so cool to see a little story line instead of the just standing there and singing like the Sorcerer video, I really hope she acts a few things out like in the Rooms on Fire video.

In other words, like most of her videos :). I just love how in so many of them you go into her crystal ball, or to the other side of the mirror with her to "Stevie World" :D.

And I just have to say "HAH!" to those who felt Secret Love wasn't really the single! :p

If FM77 is to be believed there is also a video of "Cheaper than Free".It could be that Dave is planning on directing numerous videos which would be great.I still think that the title track will be the single that appears just before the album's release..still more than 3 months away.I'm fine with "Secret Love " as a single though.I like it alot.

They can actually film and edit a video in a matter of days. I don't know if it will be in time for Feb 8th, but it probably won't be too long afterward.

@DaveStewart how many videos r u doin with her?

@PiperMusic a whole movie with various videos within it , thanks for the other day

So I guess maybe the "Secret Love" video plus whatever other singles they decide on, will become videos for the whole movie/documentary? Interesting. Just my speculation.

I wonder if the Documnetary will be sold with the CD as a combo pack? I hope so, because I live in a small area where Indie films don't get play time in the theaters.
I know dave tweeted about the possibility of cinema play prior to release of the album, but that was a while back.

Also, it looks like those worrying about Stevie and "the mirror" being the album cover can relax, because it is the OFFICIAL single cover.

Yay, Stevie!!!!

For those of you who don't know, that picture of Dave in Stevie's hat was taken on the balcony of her Santa Monica condo. I was in LA this weekend, so I drove to Santa Monica the minute I saw that picture and scoped it out. No one came out on the balcony again during the 20 minutes that I was there, but Dave did affirm that they'd be shooting at an inside location and I have a really good feeling that they did all of this in the condo. Crazy!

That hat actually suits him in a stange way... but knowing it's Stevie's hat, I find that photo hilarious!

So if this was taken earlier in the day today, and they are facing due west, is the sun normally at that time of day so far towards the west? The sun looks like its on his back, or would you say it's more to his right side, or to the south? Almost seems like this photo may have been taken in the late day, early evening.

Oh big fuggin' deal. :rolleyes: People gotta live somewhere, and Stevie just happened to choose a spot right on the PCH that anybody can stroll/drive past. I just can't imagine that it would be particularly healthy/serene breathing in all of those fumes and hearing the traffic whirring by 24/7. And doesn't she still have that house up in the Malibu hills?

Location aside, am I the only one who is a bit concerned by the, um, low budget DIY nature of this video project? Okay, I can accept Dave Stewart may have a personally vested interest in working on the video, but shouldn't they be on a soundstage in Burbank or something? Why on earth are they shooting a video inside of her condo? Is she going to be standing at her kitchen counter stabbing an onion with a Ginsu knife when she mouths the words "...my secret love secretly died?" There should be dry ice. Industrial fans blowing around yards of chiffon. And more treadmills, puhlease! Hopefully they are going to shoot in other locations, and I don't mean the condo complex's pool and bocce court!

She has a chance at being played on one of the VH1 channels. But mostly I suspect this is being made for YouTube. Still, considering the incredibly elaborate videos she has made in the past, why sully her legacy with something cheesy? This isn't a rap video featuring acres of marble, bottles of Kristal, hot tubs, ocean view balconies, etc. This is supposed to be a surreal dream-like accompaniment to a very dreamy, atmostpheric song. It would be cool if it took on the surreal vibe of the single cover artwork, but I'm not sure if that can be accomplished within the confines of Stevie's modernist aerie.

BTW, if you want to be Stevie's neighbor, it will only cost you about five big ones:

I'm sure the "Secret Love" vid will be fine. Yes, probably not as glossy and polished as her TISL videos, but aside from those and maybe "Rooms On Fire", I always thought her solo videos were sorta an afterthought, and not terribly elaborate considering that Stevie Nicks was such a visually compelling *Rock Star* in her heyday. I mean the video for "Gypsy" set the bar high, and after that she never really delivered a production on that scale again, as far as the total package; sets, extras, background dancers, theme, etc.(though she tried and failed with the Scarlett - Stand Back).

It's also worth mentioning "Rooms On Fire" was filmed at Stevie's rented mansion at that time, with the performance footage filmed on a soundstage. And that video was beautiful.

I'm still waiting for the quintessential Stevie Nicks solo video. Maybe Dave Stewarts film on Stevie will be the total package. Till then "Gypsy" will forever be in my mind the quintessential Stevie Nicks vid of them all.:nod:

"Every Day" was not a cheap video. I would say it could possibly be one of Stevie's more expensive. On the other hand "Sorcerer " was a great looking video done on a smaller scale & budget.

Firstly, having lived in LA until a few years ago, I can tell you that many famous people live in very easy-to-access homes. Not everyone is on gated grounds. Hell, Faye Dunaway (Oscar winning actress) lived on a very well-traveled street a few blocks from my house in West Hollywood, and I'd see her carrying groceries from the car, or watering her lawn!

At the beach, most of the cool places to live are along Pacific Coast Highway, and people live there regardless of the traffic, in million $ beach cottages and hi-rise condos.

As for the video, does anyone watch VH-1 anymore? I haven't seen it on my cable system for quite awhile. I would suspect the video is for promotional purposes only, and YouTube is the most likely place we'll see it play. (Or clips of it as intros when she is doing any TV appearances for the CD.)

Get with the times people...Nobody watches videos on MTV or VH1 unless they are on the classic channels. Even then, they are just people sipping on their coffee before a long day of work.

The internet (youtube, news sites, itunes) is where music videos are exposed. Radio, MTV, VH1 no longer matter when it comes to Stevie's music. Her album has to spread like wild fire on the internet and on the tour circuit. That is the only way for her new music to spread. Those old outlets don't provide diddly-squat for classic rock artists. Even the amount of NEW music played on the radio is limited.

AliceLover

On a somewhat related note...I was in Target yesterday and I happened to stumble upon the CD section. Then it occured to me. What is this compact disc section even for? I think the last time I bought a CD it was Gift of Screws and that was because I am a die hard Mac fan. I don't even bother to buy CD's of other artists that I religiously follow.

I think it is dumb to spend time worrying about "album" sales because the whole music industry has changed. I think the sales figures for Stevie's album are going to be low and that fans here are going to go apesh*t..When I really do not think that "album sales" represent anything at all anymore.

In college, I get exposed to a large and diverse amount of music almost every weekend. When one of my friends asks me if I have heard this song by so and so, they immediately go to youtube or play the song from their Ipod that they have downloaded illegally.

Album sales mean squat in 2011 folks. Music is exposed through the internet these days. Just because the billboard numbers might be low does NOT mean that people aren't listening or enjoying her album.

False. She still has it.

I don't know if she ever actually sold it, but this is what she said in 2007:

She shares the house with her god-daughter, who is in her early twenties, and who lives in the guesthouse above the garage. Nicks has lived here for two years, and it was a mistake, she says, from day one. So she is moving to a penthouse apartment on the beach and the house is on the market.

'I saw it, and there was this big family living here that obviously loved it. So there was a vibe here. And something in me thought, maybe I can have that.

On a somewhat related note...I was in Target yesterday and I happened to stumble upon the CD section. Then it occured to me. What is this compact disc section even for? I think the last time I bought a CD it was Gift of Screws and that was because I am a die hard Mac fan. I don't even bother to buy CD's of other artists that I religiously follow.

I think it is dumb to spend time worrying about "album" sales because the whole music industry has changed. I think the sales figures for Stevie's album are going to be low and that fans here are going to go apesh*t..When I really do not think that "album sales" represent anything at all anymore.

In college, I get exposed to a large and diverse amount of music almost every weekend. When one of my friends asks me if I have heard this song by so and so, they immediately go to youtube or play the song from their Ipod that they have downloaded illegally.

Album sales mean squat in 2011 folks. Music is exposed through the internet these days. Just because the billboard numbers might be low does NOT mean that people aren't listening or enjoying her album.

Excellent post :) The music world has changed so much in regards to what is perceived to be a benchmark on good, bad, or excellent CD sales/exposure. Things go viral now and by "liking" a web site or article or sharing a link. It still would be cool though if Stevie did pull off some acceptable sales figures though on the CD. Would be like an extra present in the XMAS stocking though.

This is going to require some elaboration!

I've met her a few times, and we're casual friends. She's great.

False. She still has it.

Thanks. I'm sure since she wanted people to know when she purchased it she would also want them to know when she sold it...

I don't know if she ever actually sold it, but this is what she said in 2007:

She shares the house with her god-daughter, who is in her early twenties, and who lives in the guesthouse above the garage. Nicks has lived here for two years, and it was a mistake, she says, from day one. So she is moving to a penthouse apartment on the beach and the house is on the market.

'I saw it, and there was this big family living here that obviously loved it. So there was a vibe here. And something in me thought, maybe I can have that. I was not here three days before I thought, what the hell do I here? I was too shallow and stupid to realise that it wasn't the house I'd fallen in love with but the mom and the dad and the four kids, and the smells of the cooking.' She sighs. It is, she reflects, a house 'for adults. And even though I'm pushing 60 I don't feel that I'm that old yet.'

She did hate the house after she bought it. But it is no longer on the market and most of Dave's movie and most of the recording of the new record took place in this house. Now she loves the "vibe" of the house. The Cheaper than Free video was shot there as well.

Whoot! Dave seems to like to reply to certain people. You, Dani, and several others get replies. He used to reply to me sometimes, but he hasn't in months. I guess I'm on his **** list :(

I was surprised he responded to me yesterday about he and Stevie playing small venues when I asked him if he was teasing meaning on the screen and not the stage he said "on stage"... I'll believe it when I see it but at least it's hopeful.

I asked Dave if Stevie snapped that balcony pic of him.

@DaveStewart p.s. Did Stephanie snap that pic of you on the balcony?

This was his reply:

@19lisa78 no she put the hat on my head

Hahaha, he really does. I don't know what I did to get on his good side, but I made him and Stevie a return shout out and he responded on their behalf, he read a stanza of a poem I wrote aloud on Twitter, and every once in a while he responds to my own personal tweets, usually with nice things to say when I'm having a bad day. He DMed me once, haha.
