I would say...
 
"Storms" would be the only FM track played at my funeral...

I would like the last verse of "Storms" on a headstone as an epitaph, But if I get cremated that just ruins the whole @#$^&* thing :lol:

You're both right, I listened to it in the car on my way home tonight. Half my life I've heard it the other way, though, so I still prefer the imagined lyric. ;)

The song I demand to have played at my funeral is ASSHOLE by Dennis Leary but as far as a Mac song goes, I would love to know STORMS was making people cry, as it goes across the loud speaker as I make my way down the main street of Sydney with a hundred thousand people lining the streets for my state funeral...yeah I have high hopes...I wanna seriously be Australian President one day even though we dont have one now, I'm staunchly for an Australian head of state, and even though I'm young I keep myself very politically active :wavey: (Gee a hundred and two posts and it's probably the first thing you actually know about me :laugh: ). But yeh it would have to be STORMS.

As for me, I think I want Sara (of course!!!!) and GYOW, cuz I think it would be a kind of funny song to play at a funeral and maybe it would make people less depressed. There's something about that first chorus with the harmony that just makes you feel good.

I hadn't though about it, but why not- Tango In The Night. Just like that frustrated sea captain in the Ghost And Mrs. Muir,

"Then I remember
When the moon was
Full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the Tango In The Night."

I'll add that "Dust" is an appropriately morbid and depressing song for any funeral. :nod:

ok, now about the other question. Between 2nd and 3rd verse, when she's "misting" that line (singing whispery and softly). I think she's saying "Ne-evah.......Ne-evah (never) but everyone has double sworn to me that she is saying "Sa-arah" But I always heard never, and she says "never" elsewhere in the song, and so why would she be saying "Sarah" other than the fact that she always says "sarah" (in a billion other songs)?

A few of us have said we hear "Tara."
Read Stevie's book. The answer's in there. ;)

What does that mean, and what is Stevie's book? Why does there always have to be a quiz? Can you just tell me? :confused: :shrug: \

Go to your local library and ask for the Stevie book that's due out in the year 2038. :)
And if you're asking what Tara means, it's a reference in WTTR...S to Gone With the Wind (and Betty Ford).

Yeah, i'll go right down and do that :mad: :rolleyes: . Oh, yeah, Tara. Don't think so, but why do you guys think that? Seems plausible, just wondering how you arrived at that conclusion, ie: Do you have more info?

Don't forget about those who think she's saying "Pharoah." :laugh:

My friend Anne bought me this CHEESY "tribute to Fleetwood Mac" CD, performed by the alleged "Stars of Studio 99." Whoever they are.

It's bad. Really bad.

In their version of "Seven Wonders," the girl sings "heaven" in those little in-between places.
It's so cheesy, I was shocked she didn't just sing, "ad-lib... ad-lib."

At any rate, I'm convinced Stevie is singing "Tara."

Ok, but i was wondering WHY you guys thought it was Tara. You know, your reasons, your evidence, whatever.

Betty Ford felt/looked liked Tara, I guess, and being a romantic, Stevie loves GWTW. She's singing about a great love & Tara was Scarlet's big love.
Plus it just sounds like she's singing "Tara."

tynan88 08-04-2004 02:52 AM

Can someone enlighten me as to where "Tara" comes up in any of Stevie's songs (of course with the exception of WTTR...S).

I guess we can invite other posters to discuss what they think she's saying.

- Jake

I always thought it was "same, same beauty again" too :shrug:

Funeral songs....how morbid, huh? I suppose I'd want "Dreams", it embodies many meanings for me and was the first song that really hooked me into Fleetwood Mac at a very transitional time in my life, or as they say, when I was trying to "find myself." That song has helped me through a lot of tough times, and I think of it whenever I need comfort for something that's troubling me. It's a very soothing song. Same goes for "Belladonna," my second choice. :angel:

I think that's it. Although you've got your faux GWTW appeal in the unused video for Stand Back.

I can't believe an entire generation's worth of Stevie fans has let this opportunity slide right by. Why hasn't some smart, enterprising Stevie fan used the "Ask Stevie" forum on the Nicks Fix to find out? Instead, they ask Stevie repeatedly what Mick or whoever smells like, or they gush & gush like geysers.

Did someone really ask what Mick smells like? And she answered?! :shocked:

Some of us have asked other questions, but we can't control which ones she chooses to answer. :shrug:

Yeah, I actually decided to ask her that on Nicksfix last night. I'll try not to geyser.
