welllllllllllllll...
 

Okay, this is my first post as I was officially granted permission to post yesterday. So, here goes...

As we all know, Stevie loves to use the word "well" in her songs usually to start a sentence as kind of a filler word. My friend and I spent a day emailing back and forth favorite uses of the word "well" in Stevie Nicks songs. So, anyone care to start a thread. This could either totally flop to the disgust of all of you or it could prove to be DAMN FUNNY. I'm hoping you guys will all be into this.

I'll start:

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.... I don't think you do!
(Rhiannon live)

another welllllllllll...
 

Okay, here's another one. I couldn't resist

Wellllllllllllllllll... you know me,
I'm a nomad,
I can't feel bad about the way I am

(Candlebright/Nomad)

Wellllll maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...................the landslide will bring it down

Weelllllllllllllllll, you smiled, you smiled,
And then the spell was cast
so here we are in heaven
and you are mine AT LAST!

Probably my favorite "well" live. :nod:

Well I have tried to be true
Well I have never know what to say
how to say...seen anything today

~Marissa~

"well the music there......"


Welcome! :woohoo:

"wellllllllllllllllllllll you know i'm sorry but..."

thanks for the welllllllllllcome
 

Welllllllllllllllcome to the House of the Blues and my world!!!

WELCOME fellow Canuck! :wavey:

Someone's doing research. :p

"well I made up my miiiiiiiiiiind...."
"wellllllllllll I can do it, I can make it one more time"
"well it's a real loooooooooong way to go to say--goodbye..."
"well can I be of any help to you" < / LWTG>

Aww...my lil girl is growing up into a obsessed fan. :hugz:

"Well, I live below a great, red mountain
In the shape of a great, huge beast...."

:laugh: :laugh: :p

wellllllllllll I talked to my famous friend last night
My third day up... welllllllllllll, his second nighter
(Two Kinds of Love)

Double whammy! Shazammmmmmm!!!

welllllllllllllll think about it, think about it before you go!
(Think About It)

wellllllllllllll she will call you, when she needs you!
you know where she lives
The Imperial Hotel!!!!!!!
(The Imperial Hotel)

I am getting so excited about these Vegas shows! Still comin' up crap for closing night. I refuse to sit "somewhere out in the back of your mind"! I've got to be seriously close!

Every other word in that song is "well".

"Well, I say, well, there's no way out!"

The bridge is the only thing that saves that stinker....

I think it would be much harder to find a song that doesn't contain well......

It's actually, "in the shape of a great, huge beast." ;)

My favorite use of "well," is also among Stevie's most excessive (though, as the Tower pointed out, they don't come more excessive than "Two Kinds Of Love" -- she's even got Bruce Hornsby doing it!).

From the 'Red Rocks' "Outside The Rain"....

"Well, well, they say that this is just a dream.
Ooh, well.
Well, I don't want to hear that.
Well, Mick says Stevie,
'This is just one more link in the chain,
And do not break the chain, please.'
And, I say, and, I say, 'well, I have to believe him'...."

totally! Maybe we should say the song has to contain the word GERBIL or something impossible like that! WELL appears in every single song she's ever written! SHADOW is another total filler word too, eh? The best use of that word is "In the SHADOW of my SHADOW." Totally laugh my ass off when I hear her sing that one! And the fact that the song My Heart (out take from Trouble in Shangri-La) opens with the word SHADOW is hilarious too!

Wellllllllllllll... the feeling remains even after the glitter fades

All these years, I always sing "shade" thinking that her house would be shadowed by Camelback Mountain. "Shape" is not as good as "shade".

It's really revolting listening to him sing the wells. OY!!!!

I, also, have an odd fascination with this and all the other songs from that performance. She was sooooooooooooooooo drugged out!! That really was the swan song of Stevie. She would never have the same passion for live performances after that tour.

Really? I prefer the lyric as it was written there (though I sometimes change a word or two when I'm singing along with Stevie. Hey, if she can do it, so can I!).

The Camelback Mountain is in the shape of a great, huge beast. I just love that imagery. :shrug:

I somehow changed the bulk of storms, yet it still made sense, before I knew the real lyrics... :shrug: No Shmiggie. :)

'Well as well as you knew her' is a fave of mine too.

Well I heard she flew down to the mountain city

This is me talking to you...Well this is me talkin to ya...

"Weeeeeellllllllll you can dedicate your pain to him."

"Well I know you'd like to come away but baby you can't come."

"Well who am I to bring you down?"

"Well time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me."
