"She's IN LOVE!!!!"

[mikebise]

Sorry, shippers!!! No one gets between me and my Stevie Man!!!!! Sorry, SHIPPERS!!!!!!!

POET!!!! PRIEST OF NOTHING!!!!
LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"Priest Of Nothing" - Take 1
“What was her name?” she said to him
And her friend said nothing for the longest time
Something like your name,
And her friend said nothing for the longest time
And she turned her head and she walked away
And as the Legend says:
"This time you won’t get away...”
Something lying there...
Poet… priest of nothing… legend
Poet… priest of nothing…

In trouble again for the wrong things...
I didn’t know him, he didn’t know me
There she goes again... Ooh, she says,
“Do you think that this could be the one?”

She sees no evil... She’s in love!
Speaks no evil... Well, she’s in love!
I don't think says anything to anyone
Ah ah...

Well, I thought that there was a connection
I didn't know why he didn't understand...
There she goes again!
She wants her freedom...
Well, I’m almost there
And I think it’s right...
She sees no evil... She's in love!
Speaks no evil... She's in love!
Well, I don’t think that they say anything to anyone
But you…
Well, I need somewhere to go
I need somewhere...

Ooh, I feel at least that I have the right
To say at least that I miss you...
Well, just remember when you are alone
That it is good what you do...
But there she goes again!
She thinks that this time
Well, this might be the one!*
She sees no evil, she’s in love...
Well, I don’t think that she says anything to anyone
But you...
Well, I need somewhere to go
Well, I need somewhere…

And her friend put her head down on the table
And she cried, and she said,
“Well… can he play?”
Yes, he can!
She said, "Well, can he play?"
Oh, yes, he can!
My friend said, "Can he play?"
And she said, "Yes, he can!"
Well, can I dance with this man?
Yes, I can!!
Ooh, can he play?
I said, "Yes, he can!"
Can he play?
Well, well, yes, he can!
I know...
Can he play?
And I think, "Yes, he can..."

"Priest Of Nothing" - Take 2
“What was her name?” she said to him
And her friend said nothing for the longest time...
Something like your name,
But her friend said nothing for the longest time...
So she turned her head and she walked away
And so the story says:
She said, “You won’t get away this time”
Something like that...
Poet… priest of nothing… legend...
Poet… priest of nothing… legend...

In trouble again for the wrong things...
I didn’t know him, he didn’t know me
There she goes again, and she says,
“Do you think that this could be the one?”

Well, she sees no evil... Well, she’s in love!
And he speaks no evil... She’s in love!
I’m afraid they say anything to anyone...
Oh no… Poet… Secret...

Well, I thought that there was a connection...
Well, I’m almost there
And I think it’s right...
There you go again
Well, I think I meant
"Give me a little time"...

Well, she sees no evil, and she speaks no evil
I don’t think that they say anything to anyone
But you…
Well, I need somewhere to go
I need somewhere...

Oh, just remember when you are alone
That I at least have a right to say I miss you!
I miss you...
Well, just remember when you are alone
That what you do is good...
But there you go again
You want your freedom
Well, I’m almost there
And I think it’s real...

She sees no evil... She’s in love!
And he speaks no evil
I don’t think that they say anything to anyone...
Oh!
Well, I need somewhere to go...
Yeah, I need somewhere…

(And she said, “I’m happy”)
Ooh, and her friend put her head down on the table
And she cried, and she said,
“Well… can he play?”
Ooh, yes, he can!
"Well, can he play?"
And I said "Oh, yes he can!"
And she said, “Well, can you dance with this man?”
And I said, “Well, yes, I can... yes, I can...”
Well, can he play?
Yes!
Can he play?
Well… Can he play?
Yes, he can...
Well, my friend says, “Well, can he play?”
Oh, I said, “Yes he can!”

(Joe Walsh!)

Right. Only Joe Walsh can play. :lol:

[michelej1]

She loved Joe Walsh deeply and she wrote songs about him. I don't think anyone can question that. We've all known that for a long time.

Michele

[fumidesigns]

Right. Only Joe Walsh can play. :lol:

Oooooh I really like u!!!! Lmao!

[mikebise]

PASSION!!!!!!! "Thousand Days", "I Call You Missing", "Love Is Like A River", "One More Big Time Rock And Roll Star", "Long Way To Go", "Whole Lotta Trouble", "You Like Me", "Ghosts"...

The list is VERY long!!! STEVIE LOVED JOE!!!! Sorry, shippers!!!! No one got between Stevie and her man in 1983-1984 (except drugs, yeah!)....

Hey man, take it easy with the name calling. You could be a gentleman about it instead of making fun of the ladies here. If Joe's your man then go with it. :thumbsup: Why rag on people with other opinions? :shrug:

[mikebise]

Stop stalking me.

[mikebise]

Stevie's only LOVE song about LB is "Without You" ~and, YES, she wrote it BY HERSELF!!! Check the copyright!!! "Words & Music by STEVIE NICKS"!!!!!!!!

Otherwise, it's anger and retribution. "Priest Of Nothing" is PURE LOVE!!!!!

Stevie couldn't contain herself in Dallas on 09/05/1983 when she dedicated "Rhiannon" to "Mr. Joe Walsh. Can he play? Yes, he can! [sings] Can he play? YES, HE CAN!!!!"

And every song on STREET ANGEL....

[MrStevie]

Words are lyrics aren't they?:shrug:

[fumidesigns]

Soooooooooo Irene has made people bored I see.......

*sigh* next thread...

[mikebise]

Words are lyrics aren't they?:shrug:

Music, I'm an idiot. No surprise, it's nohting that I didn't know..."

[mikebise]

If that's how y'all want, fine.

Cut off.

[MrStevie]

Music, I'm an idiot. No surprise, it's nohting that I didn't know..."

I forgive you! :xoxo:

Yes, Irene is making strange bedfellows tonight. :lol:

[tabruns]

I don't understand this thread at all.

[WildHearted]

I don't understand this thread at all.

Me neither.

I'm hoping there is some sarcasm/irony going on that is going over my head...

[CADreaming]

As long as this isn't a CURRENT song, then I'm fine!

*goes back on my damn boat*

Hahaha! Hoist the sails, mate! :D

Right. Only Joe Walsh can play. :lol:

Joe Walsh = player. Right!

Oh, good Lord, Mike. I'm sure Stevie didn't write EVERY song about Lindsey. But, what's so sad about your hating on Lindsey is the fact that Stevie herself knows he loved her most. And, add to that the fact that Joe Walsh has said some pretty nasty things about his um, "relationship" with Stevie. Not exactly a gentlemanly thing to do. Why would you want to romanticize that drug-hazed fiasco of an affair? It's sad. Stevie deserves much better and I think she realizes that now.

PS - No one really knows the subject of all her songs, but we can speculate. She has said Lindsey is in all her songs though. She hasn't said that about anyone else.... :shrug:

[APerfectLie]

Pretty sure Thousand Days was about Prince...

[LilyRose]

Wuuuuuuut?

I feel like one should not be sober whilst reading this thread.

[jellyman10]

Of course this song is about Walsh. And, as a part-time shipper, I don't have a problem with that. Hell, there are shippers who can reconcile LB being married to someone else, so why would Stevie writing about Joe be an obstacle?? :lol:

I think it's almost beyond belief that drugs didn't play a part in the Joe Walsh infatuation, BUT I do believe that it was genuinely an all-encompassing love affair from SN's point of view. And believe me, nothing would make me happier than to think that her feelings for him were chemical-delusional, because I don't think he really cared for her at all, and that hurts me as a fan because I think he's a monumental git and she deserved so much better.

But she took up with him directly in the wake of Robin's death and I think she was so stunned that LB didn't step up at that moment and stop her from marrying Kim that she was absolutely desperate. And if I imagine I know anything at all about 'Stevie' then I imagine I know that she is one of nature's dramatists and that she is well capable of casting people in roles that they don't necessarily live up to.

I say this in a spirit of trying to understand, and with the knowledge that Stevie herself has and still does speak about these relationships. I also believe - and hope - that 'The Ghosts Are Gone' is about JW and the fact that she has managed to more or less erase that whole episode from her life. I do hope so. He seems to be somewhat of a reformed character, but he was truly horrible about her on the record, which must have hurt.

[MrStevie]

Well said. :wavey:

[MrStevie]

I don't understand this thread at all.

Me neither.

There was some on my part. I'm sorry he misunderstood. I figured two namesakes could have a little fun with each other. Maybe I shouldn't have jumped his ass on the name calling? :shrug: I didn't want him to leave. I like Mike. :sorry:

I shouldn't have cracked wise about him saying Stevie wrote words and lyrics. After he edited his post nothing made sense. Sorry folks. I put myself in the corner. :woohoo: (my dunce cap, not a party hat)

:angel:

[tabruns]

Wuuuuuuut?

LOL Maybe that's the key....

Okay well what was that about "Without You"?

[beccamorrisfift]

As long as this isn't a CURRENT song, then I'm fine!

*goes back on my damn boat*

Hell Yeah ! I'm right behind you on that one ! :lol:

You know I've never thought about this but this is EXACTLY why I think I love Stevie so much! I totally suffer from this same damn problem/habit. Stevie said that she's learned to not expect good things, or something like that, and I try to do the same so I won't be hurt, but it just isn't easy!

My God Loz....thank you!!!! You just totally helped me define my love for this woman! Along with the other reasons u guys don't know about, THIS is y I can relate to her!!!! Thank u so much!!!! *hugs*

[mikebise]

My point was Stevie writing a song about being IN LOVE. "One More Big Time Rock And Roll Star" and "Priest Of Nothing" were written in 1983 at the beginning of Stevie's relationship with Joe. Stevie can spin it all she wants NOW, but in 1991, 1993. 1994, 2007, 2009, she was making it CLEAR that Joe was the one true love of her life. The ONE MAN she would give up her career for.

Maybe some people haven't been in actual human/human relationships, but sometimes you start thinking back. Stevie obviously was with Street Angel. She was trying to get a message to Joe, even if he didn't hear it. SO MANY songs recorded for that album that she wrote about him:

"Thousand Days"
"Love Is Like A River"
"I Call You Missing"
"Mirror, Mirror"

I don't care about Klonopin, or maybe it DID make her reminisce about her old love for Joe. But that Mark & Brian interview makes it CLEAR she still had feelings about the man who inspired "Love Is Like A River". Why re-record the song and then talk about it?

I hope Stevie never "erases" her inspirations. I just wanted to point out a song that Stevie was IN LOVE, not bitter and hateful and vengeful. "She's IN LOVE!" When has Stevie EVER sang like that???

"Thousand Days" has one line about Prince. I doubt he is "the greatest love" that causes "the greatest pain".

[WildHearted]

Well, I don't even understand what you're arguing or who you're arguing with or why this is even something to be debated?

Like 95% of Stevie's songs are about love, thematically. And of those, she's only 'bitter and hateful and vengeful' in a small portion (as in, angry), and those songs are, actually, the direct result of a love/relationship, as well. She's not just those things for no reason.

So I don't get your point.

She was in love with Joe Walsh, she wrote songs about it. Just like she's written songs about virtually everyone else in her life and all of the feelings that came with it.

[LilyRose]

Yeah, she's said numerous times that she was in love with Joe. I don't have any reason not to believe her, as much as I would like not to because he seems like such a jerk. I'm not one to think she only writes songs about Lindsey.

[mikebise]

Never mind.
