Yes...a new Stevie song is out...

[JohnL]

I swore not to post here anymore but I am avoiding The Rumours forum. I am glad she is continuing to record and this song is SUPERB!!

[MakerofBirds]

This song is GORGEOUS! Thanks for the link!

[Danielle]

God! This is gorgeous!!!

[tothegypsy]

I love this production style for her :)

[JohnL]

I had no idea this was even coming. I kind of liked the element of surprise...and boy was it worth it!!

[deribish]

OMG OMG!!! This is the emotion (and production) that makes her amazing. This is TOP NOTCH Stevie. The lyrics are focused and the rhyme scheme is in tact... the vocal is tender and strong. the strings and haunting music are just sublime. 5 stars!!!!

[sorcerer999]

WOW!!! :eek:

That was exquisite! GOOSEBUMPS!!!

There doesn't seem to be much information about this song. It's not on iTunes yet. Does anyone know if she wrote it? Doesn't seem her style. I'm wondering if someone else wrote it and asked her to sing it...or it could be a "co-write".

Regardless, it's beautiful. I adore the string section at the end. And this is one of the films I've been looking forward to the most this year. I'm thrilled to hear her voice in a brand new song for a major motion picture! :blob2:

[GavinBrown]

GORG!!! Whoever produced this should do her next solo album!

[MakerofBirds]

At the end of the video it says it was written and produced by Ryan Miller and Thomas Bartlett, but performed by Stevie. They must have written it with her in mind because some of these lyrics are so her.

"Drowned in a thought and caught in a stare
Talking to ghosts who were not there..."

Google gave me a result on Thomas Bartlett, who is a musician and goes by the name "The Doveman," which seems appropriate, if it's the right guy.

[Feather Blade]

WOW!!! :eek:

At the veeeerrry end of the video (around 3:46) there is a credit section that says: "Performed by Stevie Nick, written and produced by Ryan Miller and Thomas Bartlett".

[Feather Blade]

Oops, sorry for the duplication.

[vivfox]

God! This is gorgeous!!!

Some Ledgie predicted we'd get a new SN song right after the B/N release. This is a great song and came to me completely unexpected.

[jkmaletic]

Looks like it was written for a movie. LOVE THIS SONG!

[24karatstevie]

I love this! OMG this was such a nice little surprise! I hope this means more from her soon. I really want another solo album. Songs from the vault or new songs, I just need more Stevie!

[Lee]

Very nice. Makes me want to check out the movie. :thumbsup:

Lee :)

[jbrownsjr]

Wow, now this is beautiful!

[blackcat]

Thank you for posting this John! Beautiful! I pre-ordered the soundtrack on iTunes as soon as I heard it!

[Jondalar]

I like it but how odd it is released when her band mates album is out. Hmmmm

[JohnL]

I like it but how odd it is released when her band mates album is out. Hmmmm

It is from a movie soundtrack. I am not sure she has any control over when this comes out. :mad::mad:

[Danielle]

I like it but how odd it is released when her band mates album is out. Hmmmm

Well, the movie is coming out this Friday.

[studyinscarlet]

I love that she's not done this in that 'deep' Stevie voice. Sounds so young. Good one, Stevie.

[sorcerer999]

I like it but how odd it is released when her band mates album is out. Hmmmm

Oh, please! Seriously? You think she has anything to do with that? Do you think she's really that hard up for attention? :rolleyes:

Just an FYI - this movie was supposed to come out last year. According to Focus Features - "The Book of Henry was scheduled to be released on September 16, 2016, but Focus rescheduled its release to June 16, 2017, concluding that during the summer, the film release schedule will offer fewer adult-oriented films that might compete against The Book of Henry for older viewers."

The film comes out Friday. The fact that it comes a week after Buckingham McVie released their album is purely coincidental, and has everything to do with the studio and not Stevie.

[jkmaletic]

People wanting to stir that pot! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

She couldn't record with Fleetwood Mac but she found time to record this. It's sort of insulting.

[dreamsunwind]

She couldn't record with Fleetwood Mac but she found time to record this. It's sort of insulting.

I see your point but I guess if she the song was already written and the production was already figured out, then it probably took maybe 2 days for her to contribute her vocal and then leave.

[studyinscarlet]

She couldn't record with Fleetwood Mac but she found time to record this. It's sort of insulting.

One song? What's happened to this place since I joined? Stevie's up in age, she can do what she pleases. :shrug:

[jkmaletic]

One song? What's happened to this place since I joined? Stevie's up in age, she can do what she pleases. :shrug:

There's people here so eager to jump on her. "Insulting" - give me a break. She didn't even write this dang song. She just sang it! Is it equally "insulting" if she sings Happy Birthday to a family member at a steak restaurant because she had time to do that but not record with Fleetwood Mac?
Give me a break.

Jamie

[Artemis]

What a beautiful and unexpected treat! What a delightful song. Her voice is sounding great too.

[sue]

Wow...that was unexpected.

She sounds absolutely fabulous, the song really suits her, her voice sounds the best in years

As much as I love BuckVie (and we all know it's Stevie fault she's not on the new Album).....you can just imagine some of her harmonies ....
Couldn't she just sing others compositions......

Oh Well...

[mitzo]

Go Stevie. This is the type of production she has needed all these years, brings out the beauty of the voice and the mood. Such a contrast to the harsh flatness of BD and other efforts. I would give up a vital organ or two to see her do a full album like this.

[sorcerer999]

Jamie

Right??? She was probably asked by the songwriter and/or producer of the film to sing it. Probably took her a couple of hours. Big difference between THAT and spending months in a studio doing something you don't WANT to do. And let's face it, Stevie doesn't WANT to spend time in the studio with Fleetwood Mac right now. And THAT'S OKAY. It might suck for us (and I'm still hoping that one day she'll change her mind and record with them) but right now Stevie is "doing Stevie". People need to leave her alone and quit questioning EVERYTHING SHE DOES in her own life that doesn't involve Fleetwood Mac. The band started her career, but her career SHOULD NOT revolve around the band...especially after 42 freaking years...:sorry:

Consequently, these same people who slam her (I could list a dozen names and more on these forums :rolleyes:), her decisions, her song choices, etc ARE ALSO the FIRST people to sing her praises whenever she releases something new. It happened with IYD. It happened with 24KG. It happened with last years tour set. It happened with the BD and WH remasters with bonus content. It cracks me up to no end how people can be so wishy washy with her.

At least the haters in the Rumours forum (Homer, etc) are consistent with their hate and we can ignore them. :laugh::wavey:

[ricohv]

What an incredible surprise! I like that it's sort of a departure for her production-wise but still contains an air of Stevie-mystery lyrically. And I don't know the technicalities of singing, but if she's singing in a different register or whatever it sure is a refreshing change. GO STEVIE!!
*Ricoh*

[blinker12]

I really like the Buckingham McVie album.

I find this more interesting, in terms of the writing, production and singing, than anything on it.

I agree ..can she get these people to produce an entire album for her:shrug:

[Jondalar]

She also had time to record a song with Lana Del Rey... Not like she really had to spend months in a studio to do these things.

[BombaySapphire3]

Well if she was looking to upstage them mission accomplished .This song is more intriguing in style, vocal and presentation than anything on that other album where even the best moments are retreads of past glories.

[Danielle]

“I’m not really sure how to tell this story so lets start by not burying the lede:
STEVIE NICKS SANG A SONG I WROTE AND IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE.
It’s sort of a windy tale so here’s a bullet point version if you want it! Strap in!
1) my buddy Colin Trevorrow asked me to write a song for Naomi Watts to sing in his movie The Book Of Henry (which she does, twice!)
2) I recorded a version of the song for the end credits with Thomas Bartlett
3) Colin asks who I think should sing it- “Stevie Nicks, der.”
4) 24 hours later: “Stevie is in”
5) Record the orchestral outro at abbey road in London with a 100-piece orchestra (nbd)
6) spend a night at a studio in LA hanging with STEVIE ****EN NICKS while she records her vocals
7) ask her to take a selfie at the end because I had to and because she is, without question, one of the coolest and most radical souls to ever visit planet earth
The movie premieres tomorrow and goes wide this weekend.
What an honor and joy and profound adventure.
Team Stevie till the end of time.” - Guster (Source: https://www.facebook.com/guster/)

lol well it's great that that's your opinion (heavy emphasis on it being your opinion) but she didn't even write the song and she certainly didn't produce it, so all you can credit her for is throwing in a nice vocal for a piece of work done by other people. i don't think there's a competition anyways but if there was, there certainly wasn't anyone "upstaged" by anyone else.

I agree. I do think it is great for her that people still want to collaborate with her when she is almost 70. I don't see that happening with anyone else her age besides Dolly but Dolly is country. Country musicians have more respect for their elders. Stevie is very unique for her age.

My post was meant to be a somewhat absurd response to someone that was inferring that she put out the song just in time to upstage the Buck/Vie album.The person I was responding to also completely renounced their Stevie fandom on this very forum so not sure why they are even still here and putting their 2 cents in :lol::lol::lol:

UK is Hyde Park with Tom Petty, Minnesota State Fair, Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville KY, and Ravina Festival in Chicago. I'm curious though about these festivals. Is she performing her whole set like for the other dates on the 24 Karat Gold Tour or is a shortened set since there are other artists performing?

It seems that during the last night of the second leg she announced that the tour would be extended to include some Australian dates around the end of October.

[sue]

It doesn't bother me one bit that's she hasn't written this new song.
The song is great, as is the production.

It's just a lovely song by a woman who is almost 70...
She sounds fabulous......and that's it.

[wheart]

Lovely song.

This isn't upstaging BuckVie, it's a soundtrack.

Of course not. I don't think Stevie is that diabolical. I love the song. I played it about 8 times last night. Was kinda bummed to learn she didn't write it but oh well. Her vocal is beautiful and the production is nothing short of magical!

[JohnL]

So now the same people on the Rumours board are over there saying how much everyone here thinks that Stevie has so upstaged the new BM album and how much better it is than anything on there. I knew I shouldnt have even went to look over there as I had no doubt of how the same people will be stirring the pot as usual. Ban these people....all they are doing is purposely causing rifts between others. Thats it...I am going back into lurk mode.

[Phil]

This new Stevie recording is promising - a wonderful, tender vocal and suitably atmospheric production. There are a couple of wobbly moments but overall, better than I would have expected from Stevie at this stage of her career. This vocal performance serves as a reminder that she could have really contributed to the latest Mac album.
With regard to Stevie potentially touring Australia later this year, I don't want her setting foot in my country. I'd prefer she stay home and retain what's left of her dignity. She's too old and shabby for the stage but potentially well suited to occasional studio work.

[gldstwmn]

Apparently you've gotten lost. The Rumours Forum is that way. Off you go.

[gldstwmn]

I hope she gets nominated for an award for this performance.

[jcalzaretta]

Stevie said she wanted two years off of Fleetwood Mac. I don't think it's any more or any less. They have been on and off like this for years. I don't see an issue here. She is doing what she wants to do during her years off. LB and CM wanted to do something. She did not stand in their way. She continues to do her own thing, which is she asked to be able to do. People are reading too much into things.

[MakerofBirds]

Once again the same few people are coming on here and acting like children, as they always do. If Stevie's (or any other celebrities) decisions on what to do with her own personal life make you feel insulted, offended, or personally hurt, then you have emotional problems that would be best talked about with a therapist. Maybe then you'll be able to have an adult conversation. Seriously. Stevie didn't want to give Fleetwood Mac a few more years of her life. GET OVER IT. Obviously the rest of Fleetwood Mac did. She also certainly didn't sing a vocal on a song someone else wrote for a film just to upstage Lindsey and Christine. That's conspiracy theory level thinking. Come down to earth please.

[Lola]

Beautiful,beautiful vocal. The song is just okay for me but I love the vocal. And the surprise.

The UK show was announced back in 2016 (when I bought my ticket). It's a show supporting Tom Petty in Hyde Park in London (yess, finally after 28 years another Stevie solo show in my part of the world).

I guess the other shows are the announced festivals from the last couple of weeks. So no real new news.

THANK YOU! I guess I was thinking of those as independent "one-offs" as opposed to continuations of the 24k Tour-I see what they mean now.

I wasn't sure if you were serious when you wrote this. Stevie looks just as wonderful as Christine, so if you think Stevie is "too old and shabby for the stage," then you must feel the same way about Christine.

The movie looks intriguing. I'm going to see it this weekend. Let's not jump the gun though...if it's a crappy, forgettable film, then it's more than likely there will be no nominations, no matter how awesome the song is. If it's a great film, then it's certainly a possibility.

And Mike, you're right, the award would go to the writers...but wouldn't it be cool to see STEVIE FREAKIN' NICKS perform it live at the Oscars? :laugh::blob2:

Can someone get you a medal for this? It's mind boggling that all-encompassing camps exist on this forum at all. "I've been betrayed by Stevie", "I hate Lindsey", "THEY came over to OUR side of the forum" blahhhh. We're all fans of the same band and can agree that each member has their ups and downs.

Also I love the new song. Literally just found out about it after getting home from work and it was a great surprise to end the day with :)

THIS. It's hysterical the Stevie vs BM vs Lindsey vs whatever else that goes down here all the time. They're all a part of the biggest thing that is FLEETWOOD MAC! That's why I can always praise and criticize any single one of them without bias because in the end, my main "camp" is Fleetwood Mac.

Reminds me of a primarily Stevie blog I used to follow that posted lots of great pictures and things of Stevie, but for some reason, whoever was running it had this extreme Stevie bias and an almost comical reaction to anything that could have resembled criticism of her. I remember unfollowing after the BM album was first announced, they had this very weird response like "I'm a Stevie fan so all I care about is Stevie's solo career". And I'm sure you could find things like that on Lindsey and/or Christine fanpages. It's hilarious.

Ok so was there someone else singing with her? It kind of sounds like Sharon Celani in the background. Can anyone confirm?

[BombaySapphire3]

Yep that is why on the other thread I mentioned that she can still perform at the Razzie awards.:lol:

[dreamsunwind]

she needs to pick some better projects to add to soundtracks. she honestly has the weirdest taste.

[bwboy]

A song can still be good even if the movie it's featured in sucks. Wasn't Endless Love nominated for an Oscar? But the movie was panned. There are literally hundreds of examples... including Christine McVie singing Can't Help Falling in Love, from the appropriately named movie A Fine Mess, starring the great thespian Howie Mandel lol!

[DoubtfulMiracle]

What a surprise! She sounds great (and looks SENSATIONAL in the writer's selfie, especially for someone so old and shabby), and I think there are parts of the song that sound very much like one of hers.

:) Stevie got some air time promoting this new song on channel 9 this morning, with positive reviews.. They didn't mention a solo tour here in OZ, but FM will be back sometime in the future.

I really want to see her solo again! I'm putting off booking a holiday in October in case she wasn't talking out of her hat and really does tour then :laugh:

Those hundreds of examples of nice songs from crappy movies like Christine's cover of Can't Help Falling in Love were not given Oscars or anything close to it.
And yes, Endless Love was nominated for an Oscar, in spite of coming from a crappy movie. But Endless Love was written and produced by LIONEL RITCHIE, performed by him and the great Diana Ross during the prime of their careers and is often considered the greatest duet ever. A pretty, but ultimately throwaway to most people, song performed by Stevie Nicks over 30 years after the prime of her career that she did not even write and obviously did not produce, on the soundtrack of a flop movie is not going to be winning any awards.
Look at all the songs that have won the past couple of years: two of the James Bond songs, Glory from Selma, the song from La La Land, even Let it Go from Frozen. All from huge, huge, critically acclaimed movies that were nominated for many awards.

**I don't mean to be a negative nellie, but for anyone honestly hopeful that she might be nominated or something, don't be because odds are she won't.

[bwboy]

If Stevie is 30 years past her prime, then so are Lindsey and Christine. Wouldn't you agree? Just like Elton John, Sting, Genesis, etc.

[StreetAngel86]

WE GET IT. You DON'T LIKE BUCKINGHAM MCVIE....let it go all ready. This is Stevie singing ANOTHER persons song. At least BuckVie are still writing new stuff.

doesn't mean she's not writing any.

she's always here in Nov/Dec :D:D:D
maybe one day our paths will cross
24KG in the US was SOOO SOOO good
my fave show i've ever seen of hers.

can you imagine her performing it live at the Oscars
i'd die
just Stevie and a piano or whatever :D

[dreamsunwind]

If Stevie is 30 years past her prime, then so are Lindsey and Christine. Wouldn't you agree? Just like Elton John, Sting, Genesis, etc.

Yes I do agree, which is exactly why I said she stands even less chance of winning an Oscar than BM does of winning a Grammy (unless it's in some super miniscure category but even then). Hence meaning I don't think these days they stand much of a chance.
And I love Stevie but I'd never place her in the same tier as Elton John.

Like I said before, you very clearly have a Stevie favoritism that shows in just about everything you post.

[aleuzzi]

What a special song! I love the vocal against the colors of the production. Did she write this? Musically, it's all her, but lyrically it sounds like a departure for her.

[bwboy]

Like I said before, you very clearly have a Stevie favoritism that shows in just about everything you post.

You very clearly seem to have a Chrisine/Lindsey favoritism that shows in just about everything you post. I guess we're at a stalemate. :shrug:

[dreamsunwind]

You very clearly seem to have a Chrisine/Lindsey favoritism that shows in just about everything you post. I guess we're at a stalemate. :shrug:

I don't though. I really don't have a favoritism towards anyone. I'm not sure why you think that. Maybe you think that being open to critiquing Stevie and expressing when I get annoyed with her just as much as praising her means favoring others but it doesn't at least not for me. I can critique any of them and praise them just the same. I don't feel the great need to rush to any particular person's defense unless there's a worthy point to be made. Hence why I said Stevie isn't winning an Oscar and BM isn't winning a Grammy either.

But either way I'm tired of having this argument, we've had an exchange about this identical topic before and clearly not seeing eye to eye and that's fine. But then please stop responding to my posts and reiterating what I've said to try and make it seem as if I just hate Stevie and love Lindsey and Christine when that's far from the case. Have a nice day.

Anyone know what the characters are doing when her song plays or if it plays at the end with the credits? Thx!

[Artemis]

Does anyone know if you can buy the song anywhere without buying the whole album? :/

[SpyNote]

The movie looks intriguing. I'm going to see it this weekend. Let's not jump the gun though...if it's a crappy, forgettable film, then it's more than likely there will be no nominations, no matter how awesome the song is. If it's a great film, then it's certainly a possibility.

And Mike, you're right, the award would go to the writers...but wouldn't it be cool to see STEVIE FREAKIN' NICKS perform it live at the Oscars? :laugh::blob2:

It doesn't look like the film is going to win any awards with a 24% critical consensus rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But 70% of audiences liked it, maybe because they were all Stevie fans, who only went for her song! :thumbsup:

[BombaySapphire3]

I'd happily pay for the entire album to get the song if it was available anywhere other than itunes.

[Tango]

One of the characters sings the song in part during the movie and Stevie sings the song in full with the credits.

[Tango]

There are also Sarah Silverman fans out there.

[Jondalar]

There are also Sarah Silverman fans out there.

Can't stand her.

[Jondalar]

I actually like this song. It keeps morphing throughout and the production works with her voice. Is there a filter on her voice? She sounds good. Unfortunately, I'm not going to buy the whole album for one song. That pisses me off.

[Nathan]

There are also Sarah Silverman fans out there.

I thought her new stand up special was brilliant.

Sweet!! Thanks for letting us know. I would love to see Stevie be nominated for an Oscar.

[MikeInNV]

Sweet!! Thanks for letting us know. I would love to see Stevie be nominated for an Oscar.

But (and the article is really misleading in this way), the writer is actually the one who would be nominated for this song. The best we could hope for is Stevie performing it during the ceremony.

[JohnL]

I would settle for that ;)

[ricohv]

I would settle for that ;)

Me too! Can you imagine?! I wonder if this song even stands a chance?
Ricoh

[TheWildHeart67]

I would love for her to get nominated. But the song didn't get airplay. Aren't songs that are nominated for an Oscar usually big hit singles?

[TheWildHeart67]

There is a LOT of media buzz about the possibility.http://963kklz.com/2017/12/20/stevie-nicks-win-oscar-2018/

[ricohv]

I think the song could win based on the fact that Stevie seems to have been on an upswing for sometime as far as popularity with the media. I feel like the time is right-like the song might win based on the fact Stevie really hasn't won that many awards and it would almost be like a "lifetime achievement" award. I know the award is for the writer, but Stevie's name could bring them the win.

[pattyfan]

While we are on the topic, does anyone know when this will be available on iTunes without having to buy the whole stupid soundtrack?

And as a side note, they obviously did this because they thought enough people would buy the whole soundtrack to make it pay off not to offer Stevie's song separately. Did any of you buy the whole soundtrack???

Kevin

[Phil]

I bought the entire soundtrack from iTunes upon release since I wanted to have "Your Hand..." in reasonable quality. I have searched since for a cd copy but one doesn't appear to have been released.
Stevie's vocal performance on this track is stellar and the production impressive, but ultimately some of the lyrics let the song down. Strangely enough, the lyrics oscillate from insightful to cringe-worthy and in my opinion, could have easily been written by Stevie herself.
With regard to the song scoring an Oscar nomination, I view it as possible since none of the contenders seem to have been noteworthy hits but I doubt it could actually win. A strong performance at the ceremony would do wonders for her image but if she actually won, well her ego would be exponentially bolstered. The stuff of nightmares...

[dreamsunwind]

Even if this song got an Oscar nomination, which I guarantee you, is not going to happen, but if it did the award would not go to Stevie. Oscar for best original song goes to the writers.

[Phil]

That is true, as Stevie did not contribute to the writing of the song, she would not technically be nominated nor could 'she' win an Oscar, but there's no doubt she would attempt to take credit for a potential nomination/win. She'd get her mug in at every opportunity and capitalise on any available hype - if she could parlay an opportunity into dollars, she wouldn't hesitate.

[TheWildHeart67]

If Stevie would not technically win the Oscar if nominated, why have dozens of news outlets reported she could win an Oscar? I'm confused.

[StreetAngel86]

I would love for her to get nominated. But the song didn't get airplay. Aren't songs that are nominated for an Oscar usually big hit singles?

that answer would be a giant no!
