stevie lyrics referencing water and rain
 

In a fit of genius, Cliffdweller thought of the idea of listing our favorite lyrics with reference to water or rain. BRILLIANT!!!

Here goes...

Come on now, let the sad winds blow down,
As the RAIN came, she refused to wear her coat

(paper doll)

Ooh... I'm going out in the rain without a coat too! Just watch me!

...you fill the room with the wind and the rain and the WATER!!!!!

Well done Hillary!

Um, thunder only happens when it's raining?

I'll try to come up with something a bit more obscure

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
"I'll do it!!! I will!!"
By the way, I submit it would be more of a challenge to find Stevie songs without one of those things in it... :shrug:

:nod: :nod: :nod:

"The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea changes colors... but the sea does not change....."

Mmmkay, I love this song. LOVE it!!! But it just occurred to me that those lyrics also quite possibly qualify for the "worst lyrics evah" thread! "But the sea....but the sea....but the sea....but the sea.... :laugh:

No way, If I ever see my beloved Edge in the bad lyrics section, I will hunt that person down, chase them upstairs and down the hall, until I get an ANSWER! :laugh:

Thanks. :)

"Well, open up the window...and listen to the rain"

"I like the way the ocean blends into the city at night"

"Fire on fire, rain on my face"

"Never have I been a blue-calm sea...I have always been a storm"
"Drowning... in the sea of love... where everyone loves to drown"
"she fell through the ivory morning...deep into the waters of the one she called love"
"you fill the room with the wind and the rain and the water"
"And the rain was there..."
"Fire on fire...rain on my face"

"I turned around and the water was closing around me."

One of my all time favorite Stevie lyrics.

okay well, i have to do this one...

I like the coastal cities,
I like the lights,
I like the way the city blends into the ocean at night
It's like living on a working river
The coast line is glittering
Like a diamond snake in a black sky

Or as Dissention would say, Like a one eyed snake in a black sky or as I said Like a one eyed snake on a black guy.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Yeah, me too...that's why I didn't put it there! :thumbsup:

Ah, and you wouldn't find an answer...you'd just HEAR THE CALL OF A NIGHTBIRD...!

Ahem...but....if the sea changes colors...then...doesn't it change? ;)

Thanks for this all and Diss, I will never be able to listen to Illume without hearing your words. :sigh: :laugh:

"I still HEAR YOUR WORDS!!! I've waited all my life for you, sweet girl"

Hey, that totally led to this little gem!

Still through the sunlight days I wait
Track a ghost through the fog
The sun is burning me
And you come running out in the wind with me
The ocean is your blanket

Oh man, that chunk o' word trash really had to grow on me, I just hated it when I first listened. :distress:

I must confess, I loved that song from the first time I heard it and still pee myself every time I hear it. Again, I just live in constant denial of how bad her lyrics are! She is somehow able to conjure up some beautiful imagery even though her favorite word is "well"!

I liked it. :sorry:

Twins!!! :laugh:

Speaking of wet blankets...

No, it merely reflects the light of the sun, and uh...doesn't really change its uh....its....um... :confused:
okay, it makes sense to me, so that is okay... :laugh:

When the rain washes you clean you'll know.

The sea never changes, not really.

Ooh outside my frost covered windows.

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?

And if you see my reflection in the snoooooooooooooooooooow...
(mega long pause) covahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhed hills
Well maybehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
(another mega long pause) the landslide will bring it down
Well, well, the landslide will bring it down
(and she goes in for another quick shoulder rub for Lindsey)

Snow melts into water, so I figure it works!

Sweet Girl
 

Oh My Gosh..that line from Sweet Girl is my favorite!! The imagery it conjures up in my mind is so gorgeous and no one can do that to me except Stevie.
What I like about the rain and water references is that she is consistent when she uses them. I like how she uses them to describe certain emotions or certain feelings. The way she says "the ocean is your blanket" makes it seem like the water is their protection, the ocean will keep them safe and warm. Makes no sense, I know but that is Stevie.
It is sort of interesting how she has always used certain words and phrases to describe feelings and people and continues to use them.
Fire..rain..dreams...wind..colors...beauty
At least imo, alot of the time, when she choses to use these words..she is referencing the same feelings or even the same person. Not all the time, but quite often. Take Mick for example. I think she uses the word beauty to refer to him or her feelings for him. (not just in BatB) Lindsey..dreams and rain. (plus many more) Fire...of course she uses it to describe the intensity of a feeling, the burning passion etc but also danger. Point is..I like how she has remained fairly consistent over the years with her choices. She has a way of expressing herself like no one else. "fire on fire, rain on my face..fever goes higher..what can you do, Wild in the darkest places of my mind..thats where I needed you. The way she can just take you right in and get you to basically feel what she is feeling amazes me and there are not many other artists who can do that for me.

I was just about to post almost the exact same thing. Preach it, sistah! :nod:

"I turned around and the water was closing all around"

"Drove me like a magnet
To the sea...."

"I like the coastal cities
I like the lights...
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
Like living on a working river
This coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky"

For Diss:
"ooooh it's just like a river
it's neverending" ;)

"Outside the rain and the heart skips a beat."

"Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown"

"But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm"

"Just like the sea, I rock a little."

"Standing...in the doorway
Watching out to sea
Calling out to me"

"I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...to the sea"

"And the clouds never expect it
when it rains
but the sea, changes color, but the sea does not change"

Edit: I just noticed my sig applies too!

Drowning in the sea....

..drowndeng!

Heeheehee.

"Show me the way back...to the sea" :cool:
