I saw online some are saying they are doing the Beth Orton song.

If so, here's the original version for those who don't know it.

I bet they are correct. He said the tracks on the album were unlick anything he's ever done and the Beth Orton song is alternative sounding. I don't really like the song that much. It's ok. Lots of words - sort of train-of-thought writing. Maybe it will better when they turn it into a duet, but sort of doubt it. Still, it's different. More different for him, than for her. Maybe it will grow on me. (Alternative songs seem to live in a grey area where you can't figure out if you like them or not.)

Thank you. Was this a successful song in the 90s or was she a big artist in the 90s? I never heard of her.

I don't think this is the song. I'd think it would be a Taupin lyric. Maybe a T. Bone production.

This is so cool. I really don’t care if Stevie or any of FM make another album, but the idea of Stevie and Elton John doing a duet? Just incredible! I actually wish it could have been Christine and Elton, but I’m sure Elton is doing it for publicity and that’s understandable. He has said he’s a FM fan and he did record Don’t Stop, so I’m excited to hear this. I haven’t liked a Stevie song since In Your Dreams, but the song she did with Maroon 5 was fun and catchy, so I guess I’d rather she just keep working with other singers rather than release a solo album. I wish she would work with John Mellencamp or Chaka Kahn, there are so many great artists out there.

I really liked the song she did with Leann Rimes, Borrowed. Although I liked Leann's version without Stevie better.... her voice reminds me of what Stevie's used to be... Not that they sound the same, but Leann has an agility to her voice where she can take it wherever she wants-- high notes, low notes, fast, slow etc which Stevie totally had in the 70s (Dreams is a perfect example or the high warble she does in part of Whenever I Call You Friend). Stevie lost her high end (no pun intended) after Rumours a LOT (she wasn't even able to hit the "high" notes on the "love you" bit of "players only love you when they're playing" on that tour... she whistled or 'hoo-hoo'ed" it) and then almost completely after Tusk. She managed to find it again on Sorcerer with Sheryl but she can't do it live at all anymore. When she's stuck with the low, gravelly harmony on these duets it just further reminds me of how she always did the higher harmonies on past duets (WICYF, even Gold or Midnight Wind--- which I am desperate to get a digital version of having lost my vinyl copy of the album. Anyone know of one??) and how much of her voice she lost due to not taking good care of it in her heyday. I mean you make your living from your voice, WTF are you smoking??? UGH.

I liked it when they asked Stevie why she didn’t play guitar on stage with Fleetwood Mac and she said that she doesn’t play very well and fumbling onstage would just make Lindsey mad at her and start yelling so she wanted to avoid that.

Yes I agree with you that LB played quite well. Stevie played piano better in the past than she does now. Or at least publicly. It was her piano playing of Sisters of the Moon on 20/20 in 1980 that inspired me to want to learn how to play the piano.

But his voice is so strong and powerful these days, he drowns hers out.

I know it’s HIS album but I think he should have just toned the volume, on his voice, down a little.

I think it's more that they toned HER voice DOWN in the mix....only so much of that nasal twang one can take.

When she sings alone, the deeper voice, I know it’s her, but you’re right I don’t recognise the duetting voice at all.

Stevie tweeted about Stolen Car. No tweet on Queen of Rock Tina Turner's solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Carole King's.

Cher, Lizzo, and more celebrities have commented. She did say she hoped her induction opened the door for more women.

Let me preface all of this by saying I am a fan of Stevie's. While I couldn't bring myself to see the last FM tour, I did see Stevie's last solo tour 4 times. It's sad to say, but Tina Turner (who should have gotten in there for the 2nd time before Stevie) and Carole King (SAME) are of no use to Stevie. They can't help keep her relevant. If Taylor Swift (likely someday) or Haim (likely never) were getting inducted, she'd be all over our IG feeds. Honestly, a little surprised we didn't even hear her give the Foo Fighters a shout out. She's at a point in her career where if you can't help her stay relevant, she wants no part of you.....yet Carole King and TT have never not been relevant. And Stevie has actually always been relevant, she just can't get out of her own way. Or her handlers are as stupid as they appear.

It's sad that Stevie can't applaud and celebrate a black woman who is actually enormously more popular globally and should've been inducted twice in the HOF before Ms. Nicks. But she can post about her dog or how difficult it was for her to stay in the Waldorf on 9/11.

This Elton John duet is a little sh|tty — I mean, it isn’t going to make anybody forget “Levon.” The nice thing for Stevie is that the other songs on this album aren’t much better. Even the Dave Grohl duet is a “Listen to it once and then move on with your life” song.

And yet, no answering for taste, as this Album, Lockdown Sessions is number one in The UK.
I can’t comment on the album as I’ve only heard the Dua Lipa duet (and Stevie’s).

I view them as peers. Artists of a similar generation. Stevie shouted from the rooftops how she was the 1st woman to get in the RRHOF twice. Now, just a few short years later, 2 contemporaries of her did, and we hear nothing from her. I find it telling of how she choses to align and assert herself. That said, I also called her out on not acknowledging the Foo Fighters either.

Stevie also got involved in the Linda tribute because Waddy was leading it since he was in Linda's band.
But appearing at that ceremony definitely got her name back out there. It was an all-female tribute (but for Glenn on bg vocals for It's So Easy). First time the HOF induction was done at the brand new state of the art Barclays Center. It was broadcast on HBO.
I think before the HOF induction, the spotlight was on Christine rejoining Fleetwood Mac.
Right after HOF, Stevie went to see Dave in Nashville.

No. He plays in a bluegrass band. That's something Dolly understands. I surely doubt Stevie does.

Maybe she did. Lord knows she's old school on this stuff.:shrug:
Dolly put the time and effort in to become a musician. Dolly's a fine guitar player.

Stevie may be old school but she's got a staff:laugh:

Dolly's the whole package. Stevie couldn't be bothered learnin' all them danged insterments. Seems like dating was her priority, back in the day.

Don't f*ck with her, she'll sick Karen on you!(I don't think there's ever been a Karen more appropriately named)

What is the meaning of this song? Is it about an affair?

Anyone know if Stevie recorded her vocals in the studio with Elton?

I haven't really studied this song to attempt to figure out its meaning.

My guess is the vocals were recorded separately. He at his studio, she at hers, or at home. It doesn't sound to me like they were in a room at the same time.

It talks of crime, secret, never tell, calling at 3 am to kill me one more time, and tattoos:lol:

I don't think Elton writes the lyrics, right?

Well based on everyone's comments it looks like I'm the only Ledgie who loves this song.:woohoo:

I didn't love it but I do like it.

Just listening again this Lockdown Sessions album after long time, and remembered there was this duet. Cool song, not a favorite of mine but I liked it more than The Lighthouse or Show Them The Way. I suppose it would have sounded better with Stevie's 1997 voice. It was in good shape for The Dance, not to mention hers from the 70s or early 80s.
