Ghosts

I could care less if I'm in the minority, but I think it's one of her worst songs.

"The Silver haired girl looks for escapism ?" :lol:

Silver what ? Centrum Silver ? Silver Girl ?

The silver haired girl looks for a tranquilizer is more like it.

Tough choice.

This, Alice, and Cry Woof are about on the same level for me.

Ghosts and Escape From Berlin need to stay.

Cry Wolf Doing the Best that I can(Escape from Berlin) is one of her best songs of the last 20 years, and one of the ones the Europop production of Rupert Hines really worked for .

I completely agree... it is one of Stevie's 'masterpieces'.. i put it right up there with the likes of "Beautiful Child", "Sara", "Beauty And The Beast", "Trouble In Shangri-La", etc... and i totally mean that

And I completely agree with you. That song's darkness & desperation is palpable. :nod:

Round 3 - Whole Lotta Trouble
 
To sing blues -- even pandering elevator blues like this -- you should not be a 1990-era Stevie Nicks!

Back in 1975 & 1976 (& again in the early to mid 1980s), Stevie could have sung some really good blues & blues-rock. I'm sorry we don't have much of that on record. Instead, we have inanities like Mick the Screecher on our reissues.

She sings some good blues on that recording of her club concert with Les Dudek from Bodega Bay in 1985. But the sound quality needs to be better on that.

Anyway, long way to say: Whole Lotta Trouble really sucks. I don't pay much attention to Stevie lyrics anyway (I guess because I read Chuck Dickens), but some of these words are of absolutely no aesthetic value:

Would you stop for a second/I bet you could think for a minute
This could be a whole lotta trouble, a whole lotta trouble, a whole lotta trouble for you/Would you change your mind/At the very last minute

blah blah blah . . . . this is just filler. To extrapolate anything personal out of this filler is to hyperinterpret to the point of daffiness. In the greatest blues, lyrics aren't all that toweringly essential anyway -- they serve a specific purpose in terms of allowing the vocalist to focus style & phrasing (think of Peter Green's lyrics to "I Loved Another Woman" or some of his other songs) But for self-proclaimed poet Stevie Nicks, she solicits our attention to her words, so if they're rotten, she must pay the piper & risk our criticism.

I remember reading some stuff about her talking about Whole Lotta Trouble. And i guess she really likes this song because it is one of the few songs that stayed the way it was as she wrote it.

.......good thing they dont let her do that anymore. :D

Dave what a great post. I totally agree. Whole Lotta Trouble has got to go. But after Cry Wolf.

I am also happy Stevie doesn't do it live anymore. What a bore that was.
