Thanks for embedding it, I'm not too good at that haha. :xoxo:

[wheart]

Can't wait to see it but it's a little late, don't y'all think? this should have been out weeks ago; however., BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

[GavinBrown]

O....M....G.....:angel:

[Bryan]

It's nice. I'm not blown away or anything,just nice. It does enhance the song for me though:nod:

[Spoinny]

Hello Mick! Nice video, love the ending where Stevie disappears into fairy dust :angel:

[liamtgallagher]

Hopefully it's not too long till it's posted on her YouTube, it doesn't seem like it's available in the UK.

[wheart]

OK... I had to watch it, even though I'm at work. Absolutely wonderful!!! One of the best videos she's ever done IMO. Dave Stewart did an outstanding job as far as concept on this one. Totally captures Stevie...and I love Mick being in it, too. A+

[SapphireSister]

Holy sh*t I'm speechless!! A true work of art and the creamy white outfit, *swoon*. The only thing I would say on the negative side is there's too much Dave in it but I know that's what Stevie wanted and what makes her happy so I'm totally fine with it. Kisses to my darling Stevie, you are nothing less that spectacular.

[portiab44]

i actually liked her performance of the song better on oprah video

[UnwindedDreams]

thanks. i think i love it. i'm dying with laughter at Mick the little drummer boy :laugh:

[daniellaaarisen]

I CA'T WATCH THIS UNTIL I'M OUT OF CLASS IN FOUR HOURS.

This is Chinese water torture...

[ontheEdgeof17]

Agreed.

Too much Dave, but if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have all this new material.


Love her changing to fairy dust at the end. The costumes are amazing, too. Adore her lil hat she is wearing. <3

[ragrsrocalot]

Very cool. I think it's a great video. Thanks for posting it. :thumbsup:

[MacMan]

I like it!!!... That ending killed me where she disappeared! Very cool though... I think it's awesome, so much to take in...

[markolas]

I thought it was nice. Totally didn't expect Mick Fleetwood to be in it. And Stevie looks great - they put her in some great outfits for this.

Okay, I'm gonna say this and hope nobody tars & feathers me...but, is Stevie wearing dentures?

[Artemis]

Gah! Not available for streaming in my region :(

[greendaze5]

Very magical and mystical - why we all fell in love with her in the 1st place! :blob2: :blob1:

Bravo Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Josh2003]

I'm not sure how I feel. It's nice, but didn't blow me away like the sizzle real did.

It just seems kind of...random. No real coherence to it. Shots of Stevie in front of a camera, shots of Stevie in the woods, shots of Mick recording his drum tracks, Dave standing in a white room, young little circus girls. What?

It's very pretty and visually appealing, though.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Am I the only one oddly attracted to Dave in this video? His demenure and the way he slings his guitar around? HOT.

[Sleepless-Child]

I love the ending, and though there might be "too much Dave", my favorite part is when he's pretending to fall, during the little bridge. And we have some air guitar action from Stevie ! Made my day. :)

[DallasDude]

Very theatrical, like the trailer. I can see many of the same touches he brought to Annie Lennox. It certainly captures the Stevie spirit. I especially liked that she has lots of movement, not just twirling or walking. Hands down, this beats the "Ever Day" video for me.

[Dodfather]

Gah! Not available for streaming in my region :(


NO NO NO NO NO!!! This is totally NOT fair! Warners: Stevie - has fans in places OTHER THAN THE US!! She is PLAYING in the UK soon and releasing an WORLDWIDE! How are you supposed to publicise anything if you don't let EVERYONE see the video?!

What the **** is going on?!

Can someone please, please help me and any other European/UK Ledgies out and try and get a copy available somehow? Mediafire or anything? I've checked youtube ansd nothing so far. I hate having to rely on such unofficial measures, especially because I don't agree with listening to the leaked album before release, but what else are we meant to do? At least we know we're getting the actual album but this??

Can anyone help?

Thank you for the advice, really. I appreciate it. The point is that I shoudn't have to do that. That's what has got me so mad. Contrary to what Warners seem to think, the US is not the centre of the universe.

My favourite bit? Tiny glimpse of baton-twirling a la Tusk at 1:19. :]

[RockAlot]

I love it! Seeing mick was a nice touch!

[DashingDan]

Anyone else think the mix is a bit better on the video? Her vocals aren't SO in front like they are in the 'single' mix.

Thank you very, very much for doing this. So I obtained the video in a way that Stevie would greatly disapprove of. Do I feel guilty? Hell no! These are the things that she needs to know about when next complaining about the internet - fans would use official sources if they were all able to, otherwise they will use other ways to access what is available to others - no fan is "worth" more than another.

Now to the video: It is WONDERFUL!! I love it. Full of beautiful images that are truly classic Stevie. It's incredibly well made. Just beautiful!

[Dodfather]

Warners have their own UK/European subsidiary. They should try using it to avoid p****ng people off.

[BTFLCHLD]

HOT.
dave is sexy.

[SaidSomething]

Wow.

Its about time she was able to be Stevie Nicks The Whole Acid Dropping Magic Alice In Wonderland...Spell casting...Fairy Dust...mythological...fantasy...Angels In The Yard...non high tech...sans standard microphone lyp synch performance as if singing live...dark creepy...beautiful...haunting...spellbount...

Take us away to Stevie land for a minute.

Cool

I'm at work right now and cannot access anything that is pulled from AOL, therefore any of the embedding or any of the other sites that are pulling from AOL can not be viewed. Does anyone know of any sites that are not embedding from AOL?? If not I have to wait 8 hours before I can see this. Oh well

[Tango]

Loved the video!

loved the horse:

loved Stevie twirling the baton:

Didn't see the Dreamcatcher on this one--maybe someone else did? Still, lots of stuff, lots of fun!

[Fiver]

No prob, glad I could help y'all.

My favourite bit? Tiny glimpse of baton-twirling a la Tusk at 1:19.

That's my favorite part too, and Mick as 'the little drummer boy', as someone said.. :laugh:

[kick.inside]

Oh my gosh I love it. It's a little weird, but it's BEAUTIFULLY shot and it's so magical and mystical and lovely and just perfect for the song. I agree with the people who said there's a little more Dave than ideal, but oh well. I love that Mick's in it. I love the outfits. I just love it.

[Artemis]

After seeing the video (thank you Fiver; you legend!) I think it's brilliant. They've certainly made the most of a limited budget. I never would have guessed it was Mick drumming on Secret Love, either.

The only negative is that ridiculous white hat. For some reason, it made me giggle everytime.

[KarmaContestant]

I want to watch this, but I'm working at a different office today and have no privacy at all.

I guess I'll have to wait until I'm home or watch it on my phone at lunch.

[ahafan02]

The video is amazing.....too bad i'm still not feeling the song that much (and I hate the abrupt ending)....sorry

[Livia]

It's just gorgeous - I love it!

[Tango]

There is a small smiling winged creature that makes 5 appearances throughout the video-- angel or fairy???

at 18 seconds, 1:30, 1:47, 1:51 and 2:15

Just watched this at my desk!!

Made my co-worker shut the door and slide over and watch!!

I LOVE it!!!

Mick was pretty snazzy too!!

[editormarf]

A little bit too much Dave and Mick but everything else is just fabulous!

[SorcererJP]

I like it very much, saw it minutes after Dave Stewar posted it on twitter.

To me, it looks like a sequal to the Rooms on Fire video, but maybe that's because of the stairs etc.

Now, time to hit Replay :-)

I believe it's a fairy doll. Probably one of Stevies own too. I LOVED the video! I dug the 80s feel thrown in there a little when Stevie had the blue sparks coming out from behind hr. I did laugh though when the horse was looking in the mirror! The baton twirling was vintage Stevie!

LOVE IT!!!!

Jamie

[Thrown_Down]

I had such low expectations, but this is fantastic. It's not quite up there with 'Everyday' in terms of the quality of the cinematography, but I think I like it just as much. It's the perfect blend of Stevie magic and mysticism that very few of her videos tend to capture. Furthermore, she looks beautiful. I can't believe she's 62!

[skcin]

I thought it was nice. Totally didn't expect Mick Fleetwood to be in it. And Stevie looks great - they put her in some great outfits for this.

Okay, I'm gonna say this and hope nobody tars & feathers me...but, is Stevie wearing dentures?

I don't think so. :shrug:

I'm not sure how I feel. It's nice, but didn't blow me away like the sizzle real did.

It's very pretty and visually appealing, though.

I'm with you Josh. Not blown away. The vid seems to have little to do with the song. And I agree with others - too much Mick & Dave. I've also never been a fan of that spastic/jerky movement effect in videos - it creeps me out. :shrug:

Positives, before people bitch that all I do is complain. She looks gorgeous! The cream outfit is a nice change. The vid is different & unique, which is impressive for Stevie. And I would KILL for her to wear that teal chiffon outfit the "younger Stevie" has on toward the end of the video. Beautiful. :nod:

[SorcererJP]

Thank you for the advice, really. I appreciate it. The point is that I shoudn't have to do that. That's what has got me so mad. Contrary to what Warners seem to think, the US is not the centre of the universe.

Strange, I do live in Holland, have no US proxy installed and can watch it with no problems....

[SapphireSister]

Dave is obviously her muse and vice-versa. It's beautiful synergy, poetry in motion and it totally comes through in this video.

Also, the air guitar shot at 2:53 doubles as a cleavage shot :p.

[DallasDude]

After seeing the great video for "Secret Love," I'm more excited than ever to hear the CD. The single was certainly pretty good, but I think the video nails it. Very vintage, very Stevie, very fun to watch. This beats either video for TISL in my book. Plus, I really appreciate the creative cohesiveness that Dave seems to have brought to the entire project. I think it blends beautifully with Stevie's spirit and style. And I think the video rocks it a bit harder than the single does by itself.

Now, everyone post it on your Facebook wall and let's get this party started!

[SaidSomething]

Do you think that is a gift a fan made for her? A Stevie Nicks Doll? In a birdcage?
Like Stevie uses Johanna Pieterson sp? stationary with the windblown drawing of Stevie in the bottom left?:shocked:

[AnthonyMI]

And I would KILL for her to wear that teal chiffon outfit the "younger Stevie" has on toward the end of the video. Beautiful. :nod:



It might. She would have to squeeze into it with the help of a Boobclamp, corset, a little lipo etc.

I agree with this guy. As a whole, it's a good video. Stevie looks great and the costumes are very pretty. But - there isn't really a story going on and maybe it's just me, but the camera pans are way too fast. I'd love to get to look at Stevie for more than a nanosecond before being whisked away to another scene.

When was the last time a Stevie video had a story? A long time! I think this one has a little bit of a story- something to do with that creepy director and his hallucations about young Stevie. Well, scratch that... it's more of a concept. But I do agree about the quick edits- it is highly annoying. And I think it's one thing to crowbar those solo shots of Dave into the video, but it's particularly jarring when his shots are stark black and white while the rest of the video is saturated with color. Other than that, I think this video suits the mood of the song really well, which I always thought had a bit of a spacey-vibe; the starlit blue backdrop is so perfect for this! I also think this is the first time we are receiving confirmation that Mick was indeed the drummer on this song, which makes it half-FM. It makes me wonder how it would sound if John and Lindsey added their parts while Dave produced. Would it have sounded like Fleetwood Mac? Would it sound any different from what we have now? :shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I would love to see some of these outfits transfer from the video to the stage. We already have the gloves, let's add the cream colored vest/hat as well.

Good points. Especially regarding the B/W vs. COLOR.

By the way, I also loved the ending where Stevie erupts into disco glitter. Somewhere Ke$ha is jealous she didn't use that in a video first.

Me too! I love black and Stevie looks great in black, but let's get some color too. I would love for her to wear red or purple and that beautiful cream color.

No, no, no . . . Warners thinks the US is merely the center of planet Earth. It was at one time, apparently, according to this old newspaper.

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/churchill/interactive/_html/_items/wc0157.jpg



What was it? Continental Drift or something? Now the real center of the planet is Africa. At least according to this map:

http://www.wall-map.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/national-geographic-world-map-pictures.jpg

;)

Seriously, I'm glad you finally got to see it! I had always assumed anyone with a computer could see the stuff on Youtube. Your post was important, and I hope Warners notices.

[used karma]

I love it!!

[cliffdweller]

Wow, Stevie looks fantastic! The video is gorgeous! Still not a fan of the "oooweee, listen to me" lyric, but maybe it will grow on me? The rest of the song sounds great. I agree with the person who said that it sounded better on Oprah. I think this song is going to sound great live when I see her this summer ;)

[SmileAtYou]

How exciting, another new music video from Stevie! I was so surprised to see Mick!

I was confused, however, by the "younger Stevie." Why is she in the music video? She's no Stevie. If they were going for the nostalgic 70's era Stevie vibe, they could have incorporated some old video footage instead of representing her with some random brunette...

[Regina]

Funky. Very silent movie over the top drama-queen-esque.

[skcin]

It might. She would have to squeeze into it with the help of a Boobclamp, corset, a little lipo etc.

I don't mean that outfit literally. :laugh: One that color.

I watched it again - twice. Still too much Mick & Dave. :laugh: Still too jerky & I'm not a fan of the backwards/rewind effect either. But it has a cool look. Water For Elephants just came out - I have a feeling that old time/depression-era circus look will be huge, so that's a good thing.

[louielouie2000]

I must be alone in not liking the white outfit. With that hat she looks like a milkmaid or something :laugh:. I like the video overall, though. It's very Stevie. :nod:

[Thrown_Down]

^ Wait, you mean that isn't the look they were going for? Next you'll be telling me that cow in the video is actually a horse. :laugh:

[GODDESS6]

i loved every second of it:thumbsup:~

[jkmaletic]

Dave is obviously her muse and vice-versa. It's beautiful synergy, poetry in motion and it totally comes through in this video.

I do love the white and gold outfit but I am not a fan of the hat. Hats never seem to fit her right. It always looks like she's holding her head in a stiff way to keep her hat in place.

[jkmaletic]

^ Wait, you mean that isn't the look they were going for? Next you'll be telling me that cow in the video is actually a horse. :laugh:

Dude- its a UNICORN!

It was just born without a horn - birth defect.

I've watched it 5 times so far and I just LOVE it. By far her best video. It's really quite incredible that she's doing work like this!

[WildHearted]

It's Stevie's goddaughter, I think.

They could have thrown a blonde shaggy wig on her though !

I have to admit, I was laughing at some of the video because Stevie's just so cute trying to convey the song :) This was a nice departure from the more typical 'stand in front of old microphone and sing like you're at a concert' videos... it was really cute :) And totally Stevie. Loved her turning into fairy dust at the end!

[danax6]

I'm just jealous that girl got to wear Stevie's old outfits. :shrug:

The video is nice, but it doesn't blow me away. I agree with whoever said it was all over the place. But Stevie does look fantastic.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

OMG I LOOOOOOVE the video!!!

[Livia]

For those of you watching on youtube and not able to view the link, here's Stevie's explanation:

"Sparkly and eerie and kinda creepy" is how Stevie Nicks describes her video for 'Secret Love,' the first single from her first solo album in 10 years, 'In Your Dreams,' due out May 3. It features younger and older versions of Stevie Nicks, a white horse, a sinister photographer and ghostly appearances and disappearances -- clearly the singer who calls her publishing company Welsh Witch is back and in good form.

The song itself, about a fraught, clandestine love affair, was written in the mid-'70s, at a time when Nicks had just broken up with fellow Fleetwood Mac singer Lindsey Buckingham. "I have really tried to remember who it was about," Nicks tells Spinner, "but at the end of 1975, the world was spinning around us so fast, and we were meeting people every other day. There were gorgeous men and gorgeous women everywhere. We were fast and beautiful and crazy."

Nicks recorded a demo at the time, but filed it away without revisiting it until last year. "It must have been secret because I wrote it, recorded it and put it in a box," she muses. "The words are kind of odd."

The video, too, is out of the ordinary.

'Secret Love' was filmed in Nicks' house and backyard during the recording of 'In Your Dreams,' and helmed by Eurythmics guitarist Dave Stewart, who co-produced the album. Nicks' goddaughter, Kelly, makes an appearance, wearing a vintage dress that Nicks wore onstage in 1976.

"I wanted to make it like my younger 25-year-old spirit blending with my 62-year-old spirit," she offers. "Sometimes your young self, when you look back, is not very much different than your older self." Indeed, despite the song's older genesis, 'Secret Love' perfectly fits Nicks' shiny new sound.

"We worked really hard on it," Nicks says, "and I just hope that people love it, because I really love it."

[wildheart048]

FREAKING LOVE IT! :angel:
Thanks for posting it!!!

[WildHearted]

"I have really tried to remember who it was about," Nicks tells Spinner, "but at the end of 1975, the world was spinning around us so fast, and we were meeting people every other day. There were gorgeous men and gorgeous women everywhere. We were fast and beautiful and crazy."


I have never been one to think that Stevie was anything other than straight (just didn't get the vibes).... but maybe all you guys were right hahaha.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

loving it total class!

[WildHearted]

Just realized... Stevie combusting at the end... literally a Gold Dust Woman.

[ragandbone]

I love it that she can get those guys to play dress up fantasy with her. All the requisite Stevie sparkles, twinkles, and twirls are present—the 8 year-old girl in me, trying on outfits at the mirror appreciates this.

[michelej1]

Within the video story, to me it implies that both Mick and Dave are her secret loves.

I usually don't like her head gear, but that little thing that is crowning her head for the white and gold outfit looks really nice.

I would like to have that doll that's inside the bird cage for my collection.

I thought the same thing while watching it.

[Sanne2]

I can't find a picture of Stevie wearing the green Rhiannon dress the girl is wearing in the video, I think it's one of the many variations she didn't wear that often (unlike the black/red/burgundy/purple versions)

[ragandbone]

I like it too. It has a regal medieval look to it.

[-Lillith-]

Finally ! And its awesome ! :]

I really didnt expect it by now , i thought it comes with the Album.

I looooveeeeee it!!!!! :blob2::blob2::blob1::blob1:

I've always gotten the feeling Mick likes dress up fantasy as much as she does (maybe more?). I doubt either of them needed much convincing:lol:

[Jondalar]

I feel like we are getting bigger doses of Stevie in her new videos. Her smile and mystique is getting showcased more. I really like this video and the last one. However, where is this video getting played?

Hats are making a big comeback. I've always liked her in hats, and it works great with the new outfit. I hope she walks out on stage in a few new things on the solo tour.

[-Lillith-]

How many videos do we get actually ??? :confused:

[TerraRhiannon]

Agreed.

Too much Dave, but if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have all this new material.


Love her changing to fairy dust at the end. The costumes are amazing, too. Adore her lil hat she is wearing. <3

Really? I think we would, it would just be with a different producer, really. But this video is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, totally 100% Stevie. ♥ I'm freaking out right now - what magic!:eek:

[BigStevieFan66]

So in love with this video!! I mean it's not brilliant or cutting-edge imho, but it's so Stevie Nicksian to me. The bursts of color, the fairy, the twirls, the outfits and the kooky imagery all made me grin ear to ear. It really excited me to see this more than any other Stevie video, except Gypsy, but that's Mac. She looks so incredibly beautiful and happy and I don't mind seeing Dave at all. Mick's presence in this is cool too. He rocks.

Gah!! I'm so freakin pumped for May 3. Last week I got to see Stevie live, this week we get the Secret Love vid, and next week the album drops. Woohooo! What a roller coaster ride and I'm lovin it.

[Heartboy]

Love it! :D


I like the end as well!

She's represending us fairies! ;):lol:

[KarmaContestant]

Finally got to see the video! I love it! It's beautiful; the colors, the clothes, the forest scenes; just lovely.

[TerraRhiannon]

Everything about this video is golden - & I love how Mick is in it too ♥

[-Lillith-]

Really? I think we would, it would just be with a different producer, really. But this video is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, totally 100% Stevie. ♥ I'm freaking out right now - what magic!:eek:

I think she would have done a new Album anyways as well. :cool:
Dave seems to be exactly the right producer , thou.
The video has so much magic, i love that. :angel:

[Tango]

I believe it's a fairy doll. Probably one of Stevies own too. I LOVED the video! I dug the 80s feel thrown in there a little when Stevie had the blue sparks coming out from behind hr. I did laugh though when the horse was looking in the mirror! The baton twirling was vintage Stevie!

LOVE IT!!!!

Jamie

I agree with all your reactions--and the horse is a ham! :laugh: His name should be Narcissus!

[tbaker3]

That was amazing. She totally killed it. I died watching it. I love how animated she was. Her gestures didn't seem over rehearsed to me. I think she came across as totally youthful. Perhaps this COULD be the year of Stevie Nicks... The record comes out, blows up, and I can tell all the people who've made fun of me for obsessing over Stevie throughout the years, "Told you so."

Now I must go back and watch it 500 more times...

[jkmaletic]

The scene where the unicorn/horse looked in the mirror inspired a joke...

Why did the Secret Love Horse look in the mirror?

To get to The Other Side (of the Mirror )!

:]

Get it? :p

Jamie

[sorcerer999]

I really love this video, and it actually makes me like the song a lot better. I really dig the morphing backgrounds of light and stars, especially during the "I am not asking salvation from you" part. GORGEOUS! And the disappearing Stevie at the end. She kind of shimmers away, like someone beamed her on board the Enterprise. :laugh:

[Livia]

LOL - Well, she did admit to watching a lot of Star Trek while on the treadmill.

[Jondalar]

this video proves once again, that should not always wear black.

[HejiraNYC]

She kind of shimmers away, like someone beamed her on board the Enterprise. :laugh:

I know this sounds corny, but that ending makes me sad for some reason. It's one thing for her to slowly fade away, but there is something almost tragic about the way she dissipates into gold dust, almost as if she is struggling to stay among the living; but the Gold Dust Gods want her for themselves! :distress:

[WildHearted]

She was literally like there one second then POOF gone.

And she kind of bowed before it all...

It's still not working for me via Nickslive either. :mad: This is totally karma. I must have done something intrinsically evil. :lol:

Holy crap.. That's the first thing that hit me when I saw that...a bit of sadness. It was a bit shocking!... A cool effect, but to disappear just like that felt weird.

Love this video, I don't care if there's a story or not, there's just so much for the eye to take in.. constantly.

[Amlyn]

FINALLY got to see this now that I"m home! Yay!!! I'm going to have to watch this a few more times to take it all in. She looks so amazing. Gosh i hope i can look half as good as her when i'm even 42.

This is going to sound bad, but why is Mick in this? :shrug: Was he just in LA when they were shooting so they threw him a hat and a drum and said have fun? I mean it's good to see him, but to me there is just no context for him unless we are going for the literal interpretation of showcasing secret loves of her past. Oh well...whatever, he looked like he was in his element and having fun.

But even with that, I really liked the whole eerie, spiritual feeling evoked from it. I'm so stoked to hear more. Can't wait!!!:blob1:

Haha..this is awesome. How do we get Stevie to do this at her shows?

[krrrby]

easily...bring a baton to one of her shows and toss it on the stage in the middle of her concert...she probably won't be able to help but twirl it :)

or wait till the edge walk...either way.

Haha..all of us going to Webster Hall should come equipped with batons. That would be a hoot!

[Bandon]

OMG.....wat a great video. Yes there is the jerky camera (which I am not a fan of usually) and a lot of fast cuts, but OMG the video is so Stevie mystical, welsh witch sh.t... I think Dave did a fantastic job on what I assume was a not so big budget. Dave and Mick are there, but so what? It's definately all about her. I like the white background with Dave. I was reading all the posts at work this afternoon and was getting a bit nervous, but this video to me really shows off the true magical, witchy Stevie that the Everyday and Sorcerer vids did not. That actually no videos have..except Gypsy of course. BRAVO! :blob2:

[OooMissionary]

I LOVE IT... She looks beautiful!

[fringed n fab]

Love this video. Beautifully shot too! I love the platform boots the girls are wearing and of course the one Rhiannon outfit and sleeves the one girl has on, even if they are slightly greenish blue, still so cool. Stevie looked and done good in this and I'm so happy with it. :nod:

[Bandon]

The ending makes sense now. The only problem is I can't watch the video everytime I hear the song. :nod:

[SuiteShangriLa]

Haha..all of us going to Webster Hall should come equipped with batons. That would be a hoot!

they probably wouldn't let you in with them...for fear of them being thrown onto the stage and Stevie accidentally getting bonked in the head!!! :lol:

[On Ice]

Bravo. Very nicely done and I love the green Rhiannon outfit, her god daughter even has the twirls down pat.

[Amlyn]

they probably wouldn't let you in with them...for fear of them being thrown onto the stage and Stevie accidentally getting bonked in the head!!! :lol:

I was only really joking. Although if they made Nerf ones....

[SuiteShangriLa]

I was only really joking. Although if they made Nerf ones....

i once bought a small plastic toy tamborine and took it to a Stevie concert back in 1989 when i had 2nd row. someone took it from me and threw it at Stevie...oh the horror of the thought of it hitting her:eek:

[rubylounge]

I love the video! I love the cinematography and the fact that Mick is in it. I really like Dave Stewart and I think that he has some great artistic vision. I love the special effects especially the ending. The camera man is cool too. I think I saw him dressed as Edgar Allen Poe in the IYD preview? He was in a dark brick cellar. Stevie looks great. I love her hair, makeup, costumes, hats and gloves. I can't wait for the new album!!!!!

not to mention its also your 111 th post

PS - to see what the hell I am talking about - search back to about page 5 or 4 and see where gypsynikita posted this, which I believe they did because so many of us were places that could not download the stream. I noticed tonight watching at home that it was Gypsy's 111 post

[Troddew]

Is it just me or does the screen cap of the doll in the cage with wings look like a drag queen?:shrug:

[Heartboy]

Is it just me or does the screen cap of the doll in the cage with wings look like a drag queen?:shrug:

So what if it did?:shrug:

& what was the point to the post before this?

Sounded a little harsh...

[tbaker3]

How exciting, another new music video from Stevie! I was so surprised to see Mick!

I was confused, however, by the "younger Stevie." Why is she in the music video? She's no Stevie. If they were going for the nostalgic 70's era Stevie vibe, they could have incorporated some old video footage instead of representing her with some random brunette...

But wouldn't that feel a little "greatest hits" video? Think "Sometimes it's a bitch," "Paper Doll," or "Blue Denim?"

I personally love a full 3:26 of brand spankin new footage. She shouldn't fall back on her old footage.

[saintvox]

Is it just me or does the screen cap of the doll in the cage with wings look like a drag queen?:shrug:

I thought that too.

And the video is nice. :thumbsup:

[Troddew]

So what if it did?:shrug:

& what was the point to the post before this?

Sounded a little harsh...

nothing wrong, just an observation. and I thought it was funny because NOTS is so close. the point of the previous post was to thank gypsynakita for posting the video for those of us who couldn't view it at first and to point out that its her (or his) 111th post - I'm into the sequences of the number 1. I guess I probably should have said that too.

It was just nice of them to do that for us and the sequence of 111 was a positive vibe thing for me. that's all;)

[tabruns]

The ending makes sense now. The only problem is I can't watch the video everytime I hear the song. :nod:

I think the ending made sense before. Basically halfway through the song or so there's that musical build-up, and it's repeated at the end to end the song. It's actually a very well-constructed Nicks song, which is probably why Ballard referred to it as a "gem".

[Aussie W/Heart]

This video is so cool, i love how animated she is throughout the clip, loving the mystic background & the quirkiness that Dave & Mick add to it as well , .. It is just heaven scent seeing Stevie stay true to herself for all of these years, expressing her mystical, unique magical vibe for us all to enjoy... She is adorable:angel: & cant wait till i hear the whole album:D:thumbsup:

[J.Miller]

It has this ''I Dream of Jeannie'' sort of vibe and look to it. I totally love it. I played it for my two boys while they were getting dressed after bathing . My 6 year son wanted me to play it again . When Stevie disappeared at the end he said 'magic'.

[Jondalar]

I like how she slinks around at the beginning.

[Livia]

I like that Mick is in it - I like his cameo appearances in the I Can't Wait and If Anyone Falls videos too. I also like how this video kinda blends the beauty (and glitter) of the Gypsy forest, and the real Stevie/younger Stevie of the Talk to Me video. I'd love to hear Stevie's commentary on this video too..."Well, THIS horse did NOT try to kill me." :lol:

[sorcerer999]

. The camera man is cool too. I think I saw him dressed as Edgar Allen Poe in the IYD preview?

I think the camera man is rather cute, in an unconventional sort of way. Does anyone know this actor is? His name?

[Jondalar]

Eventhough Dave and Mick are in it, I feel that this video embraces Stevie more than any other video. They really went with magic and atmosphere.

[Crystal_Elle]

I like it because of it's mysticalness (yes I know that's not a word). A tad too much Dave Stewart, but I appreciate all he's done for Stevie, so I'll tolerate it. I also wish it actually told a story. BUT, I'm just so happy there's finally something new! If the whole video was just her staring into the camera doing nothing, I'd still probably love it.

[Josh2003]

After watching it a few times, I'm still not blown away by it like most people here are...which surprises me, because I like to think that I'm somewhat of a good judge of what is and is not good Stevie work :lol:

I will say that I rather HATE that Mick is in it. Over the past ten+ years, he's come off as nothing but a money-hungry opportunist (wine, instructional golf videos, drum loop CDs, side bands, restaurants, etc). So to see his face show up, again, out of the blue, is a bit off putting.

And as Paula said previously, those shots of Dave in black on the white background are just so jarring against the beautiful, colorful palate of the rest of the video.

So final thoughts: cut Mick out completely, and limit Dave to just minor cameos...and I'll be a lot happier with it.

I totally get what you're saying about Mick, and admit that really, it's true.

However, he's got some sort of a puppy dog quality about him that makes it entirely impossible for me to feel any bad feelings towards him, rather I was quite amused with his appearance :) I'd much rather have seen Mick than Dave.

[The Catdancer]

Love it! She looks awesome in the cream dress, she should wear that color more often. A little too much Dave and Mick but who cares?! It's a new Stevie video and she nailed it! Way to go!

[CreepingDeath]

Besides the random and jarring black & white Dave Stewart shots, I LOVED the video.
Stevie <3



Still, not quite as entertaining as putting Peeps in the microwave...

[UndoingTheLaces]

I really think this is her best video in years. It totally draws you into this other world. And at 41 I've been having a lot of retrospection in the past year or so and I just love the images of her older self and younger self dancing together. I know exactly what that's all about. I see my younger self in so many things these days, almost like catching glimpses of him in windows and mirrors. And that scene where the two of them are twirling together backwards, it reminds me of the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks. Very very cool.

[UndoingTheLaces]

And I've said this before but I think it bears repeating. I love how at the end of last verse when she sings "my secret love secretly dies" it sounds exactly like the demo. So many times when a demo becomes a full song it changes so much it doesn't even resemble the demo anymore, but it's like they wanted to give that little wink to the fans who loved the demo for all these years. Or perhaps Dave just saw how beautiful the demo was in it's simplicity and wanted to preserve a magical moment of it. Just stunning.

[Jondalar]

I'm 41 too. I'll be 42 the 28th of this month. I agree. This video, although it doesn't makes sense, is terrific. It's mystical, vibrant and enchanting. I don't even really notice Mick or Dave that much. Stevie steals the show. And I like the way she dresses in this video. That beige hat and dress looks great. She looks like some type of fancy maiden.

[Zanobbi]

Amen.
Mick looks silly and half dead with that little drum, and I-Love-Myself-Dave is everywhere, as usual.
And please, take that silly hat off, the one she wears with the cream dress, and limit her embarrasing theatrical gestures...
Though I love some scenes, I really don't like this video.:(

[DarkUponLight]

Pretty much agree with what most others have said here. The white background shots of Dave don't flow well with the rest of the shots. What's up with that crown thingy on her head when she's in the cream dress? I kinda like it, but can't tell exactly what it is. I don't think I've seen her wear that before. I like a lot of the hats & head gear she's worn in recent years, but that goofy hat in the album trailer when she says "My name is Stevie Nicks" makes her look like Mary Poppins, sorry, I can't help but laugh everytime I see it. I'm still more interested in the Italian Summer & Moonlight videos tho. I kinda lost momentum for this song a while back when the video was supposed to be out in "the next 2 weeks" but never surfaced. But, I do like a lot of the effects & think she looks fantabulous in it. :D

[Jondalar]

"Where is mah maid, and what are all these chickens and Dave Stewart shots and glitter doin' here?":)

I'll add, I'm not sure if it's my internet connection, but it looks like Stevie lip-syncs as poorly as ever. Wish Dave had focused more on that & less on the hyper edits.

[Andyleo]

I LOVE this video! Secret Love in a visual context puts a whole other feel on the song. I haven't stopped playing it all day. Nothing bothers me about this video, sh!ts all over Every Day IMO. It's got me really excited now about seeing Moonlight ...
To me the most important thing is that Stevie is happy and having fun, and between CTF & SL it sure looks like she is

[Chris_Sydney]

The whole thing is a little over the top and silly, but I love it. Super cute. I agree that Stevie looks like she is really enjoying herself with the glitter, the costumes and the gestures. This whole project feels like a labour of love for Stevie, and at this point in her career I don't think we can ask for much more.

[sleepless child]

The outfit that Stevie said hadn't been worn since 1976, I think is actually from the Tusk tour which would be 1979, but we know how Stevie's memory can be. Or it could be my mistake. I got to see this last night and am really blown away. I dig the whole eary 1900's circus theme. I love her cream outfit and the little cap she is wearing. Reminds me of The Borgias. Surprised to see Mick there too. Who are the girls again? Is one of them Glenn Parrish's daughter?

[louielouie2000]

Anybody else wonder if the various sparkly fingerless gloves she wears throughout the video (and onstage lately) are an homage to Michael Jackson?

Well VH1 is kinda-sorta promoting on Jump Start - the part where they show "Upcoming Releases" and they have Stevie Nicks under the Beastie Boys in the list...I think there was about 5 artists listed.

I haven't seen the vid played on vh1 itself yet though...but I'm sure they will very soon (or they may have already and I'm just missing it)

"I'll add, I'm not sure if it's my internet connection, but it looks like Stevie lip-syncs as poorly as ever.

She's rather elusive in this video. There aren't really a lot of good close-up shots of her singing. Maybe this is why?

On an un-related note, I keep trying to pay attention to what the "younger Stevie" is wearing in the vid, but my eye just keeps following the real Stevie. She eats up every shot she's in. She looks fantastic!

Dude- its a UNICORN!

It was just born without a horn - birth defect.

Stevie always had a soft spot in her heart for special needs animals. :)

I can't find a picture of Stevie wearing the green Rhiannon dress the girl is wearing in the video, I think it's one of the many variations she didn't wear that often (unlike the black/red/burgundy/purple versions)

Do you think she actually did wear it? It looks identical to the black one fromt he Rumours cover.

I know this sounds corny, but that ending makes me sad for some reason. It's one thing for her to slowly fade away, but there is something almost tragic about the way she dissipates into gold dust, almost as if she is struggling to stay among the living; but the Gold Dust Gods want her for themselves! :distress:

She bascially explodes. :( I know what you mean.

Can some awesome person make .gifs of her baton twirling, regular twirling, and her poofing at the end?

I have to say that at first I thought it was a young actress twirling - then I paused it & saw that it IS Stevie. :eek:


And as Paula said previously, those shots of Dave in black on the white background are just so jarring against the beautiful, colorful palate of the rest of the video.

So final thoughts: cut Mick out completely, and limit Dave to just minor cameos...and I'll be a lot happier with it.

I didn't say that. :laugh: But ITA with you.

Anybody else wonder if the various sparkly fingerless gloves she wears throughout the video (and onstage lately) are an homage to Michael Jackson?

No.

Meh. They hardly play any videos anymore anyway.

Well, I really like the video overall. Very Stevie. I think Dave did a good job of capturing the ambiance of Stevie in the video. I loved the cameraman angle of the video. It reminds of the "Bram Stoker's Dracula". I agree with others who have said that the white background shots of Dave do not fit with the rest of the video, and I find having Mick in the video very distracting. In fact, the black & white shots of him playing drums really hurts the overall mood. But, it's just wonderful to get this video and It's a great time to be a Stevie fan. I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu.......taking me back to when TISL first came out. Oh, and I love that ending.

Who are the girls again? Is one of them Glenn Parrish's daughter?

Yes, and it's the same girl - they dyed her hair blonde during the shoot.

Ooooh, I like the the contrast of that. I think it gives the video a little modern edge amidst all of Stevie's magical, mystical fairy dust.

beautiful imagery. love stevie's outfits.

i guess we now know what she was talking about with new clothes!~

[ragrsrocalot]

I think it would be cool if in Stevie's next video, it starts out with her reappearing amongst the same fairy dust that this video has her disappear.

I must be alone in not liking the white outfit. With that hat she looks like a milkmaid or something :laugh:. I like the video overall, though. It's very Stevie. :nod:

I'm not feeling the white outfit/hat, either. The hat looks so tiny perched on her mane of hair.

Anyway, I really like the video. I'm not bothered so much by Mick and Dave as I am all the choppy cuts. Visually, though, it's stunning. I LOVE the very brief clip of her baton twirling. She looks smoldering there.
