Everyday
 

I read an earlier thread about some people not liking Everyday and especially the "I close my eyes it gives me hope" part. You know what? I was just watching the video and Stevie could have been singing her recipe for Fleetwood Mac Party Dip and it would have still sounded wonderful. Her delivery of that part is so honest and sincere, it still makes me weep. And the strings and lush arrangement. I'm sorry if y'all don't like it but I do. I just wanted to defend this sweet little song. :)

I hate the song. She sings it in her granny voice, so I think she sounds awful. And the lyrics are nothing special either. But that's just my opinion. :nod: :)

The song is rather generic, but I do like the video. She looks very pretty in it.

I really do like it on the album, but I thought it totally flubbed live.

I agree. It's a very ordinary song but I still like it.

The lyrics are bland and I tend to not like songs where the singer is so needy, but I think it's a pretty tune. A little too Adult Contemporary for me, but with Stevie singing it I don't mind. And the video is beautiful!

I also loved her live performance of it on Rosie. I thought she sold it to the back row, esp. the end when she threw her arms up after the bridge and into the chorus.

I like the song.

I cant listen to it mostly because of the dronning vocal at the start of the song. That lower register just grates on me. Shoe does manage to recover though about midway thru the song and the strings are very nice.

I really liked it live though.

The video, Oh gawd what were they thinking? Doesnt match the sentiment of the song at all and the rats on the dinner table were rediculous.

Too bad cause she does look really good in the video.

I like the song... the lyrics are a little under Stevie's level...
The video is my one of my favorites... second only to 7W. :rolleyes:

The song had to grow on me. I can tolerate it more now than at first.
I agree that in the video she is absolutely gorgeous but still don't get the reference to all the weird images like the rats, people in the trees with masks on, etc... Kind of felt more like a "Eurythmics" video to me. What were they thinking when they made that video? I would expect more of a relationship type video showing a couple or something.

She does look great in that peach/pink dress in the video though.

:blob1: I LOVE THIS SONG! :blob2: and I LOVE this video!!! :]
I couldn't dissagree more about the live part It translated really well on stage,
The part right after she sings "it cures the silence......" got really quiet, and the crowd at both shows I heard went nuts.! LONG LIVE EVERYDAY!

Looks more like a contemplating "ah" smile... lol... :p
But I know what ya mean... :laugh:

Hell yeah. Like I said before, she came back with some really strong songs and then that dud was released to radio, making her transformation into an AC grandma complete. Whoever had the idea to release that bland turkey to radio as a single was higher than Whitney after a freebase weekend with Bobby.

like the song, but love the video. She looks so beautiful in it!

I love Stevie when she sings Christine McVie songs.

No. I was just making a point of how bland and AC Chris' songs are....like Every Day. :)

:mad: :mad: :xoxo: :xoxo:

Is it possible to express the range of emotions you feel when reading something solely in smilies? :laugh:

As much as I hate to say it, it wouldn't really matter what stevie released for radio, if your not the "hot thing of the moment" radio couldn't care less. I think say you will was VERY "catchy", VERY "Comercial" and VERY "radio friendly" :thumbsup: , but
was again wasted on radio that just threw it away :distress: . IMHO......

I love this song. I reminds me that my Mom finally decided to like a Stevie song, and she gave Stevie a chance. Now Mom's got cancer, and when I hear this song I am going to think of the day we painted my apartment, and heard TISL for the first time. "Every Day" isn't going to rock your socks off, and why should it, anyway? It should have been pitched better to adult contemporary stations. I do not think I EVER heard it on the radio, and I know people my Mom's age (late 60's) would have enjoyed it.

:xoxo: I love you

I also really like this song, and the video.

BTW, I'd be very interested to know what that recipe calls for!!! :D

It was nice to hear this story. I think I am also attached to this song in a simmilar way. My mom loves this song and the first time that I heard it was when she sent it to me when I was living in australia (VERY far away) and My mom sent this song to me with a tape of her singing along and deticating it to me. It may sound cheezy, but it was special. :angel:

See I thought she sounded better on some of the live versions. :angel:

"Every Day" is an innocuous enough little song. It'll never be one of my all-time favorites, but I still quite enjoy it... especially the verses.

The Adult Contemporary genre isn't all bad, and most of Stevie's '70s and early '80s fans are the ones listening to the AC stations anyway. She had much stronger material on 'TISL' than "Every Day," but I can't imagine any of the tracks getting much more airplay than "Every Day" did as it is.

:nod: I'm with ya all the way(except for the weeping part). :laugh: It's one of my favorites from her "masterpiece". :xoxo:

I've overpowered him involving love for Stevie Nicks songs. He has been defeated and now the truth comes out on songs he actually likes and actually doesn't. :laugh:

I for one compleetly agree with everything that you just said. :nod:

Aww... sorry Hillary! I usually reserve my wordiest essays for the unappreciated songs Stevie herself wrote.
With a few exceptions ("Talk To Me" being chief among them), the songs she has covered by other songwriters, are usually ones that, even though I love them quite a bit, I'm still not too deeply attached to them emotionally.

If it helps, I do have a sweet memory attached to "Every Day," because Anne and I had been listening to it on repeat (at her request) the day I met one of the Ledgies here. So even though it doesn't relate to my friendship with him in any way lyrically, hearing it brings me back to that day and having the song stuck in my head when I met him. :nod: :)

AAAAHHHH the power of EVERYDAY! :blob1:

:laugh:

We're not rivals, Curtie! I'm glad someone loves all of the unappreciated songs as much as I do. :xoxo:
I wish there were more of us.

I've always said... I still love my "least favorite" Stevie songs, better than I do most of my "favorites" by other artists. :nod:

Nah, I love when Chris sings Stevie. "Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night... et cetera, et cetera..." :lol:

Theres a quote I'll borrow and use! :nod:

Hey, keep on defendig! there are still plenty of good points to be made, don't stop now!

I love this song. It's one of my favorites on Shangri-La. :)
