I Would Cry...
 

I was just reminded of Crystal which I haven't listened to in a while and decided NOT to play it since it brings me to tears every time I listen (Practical Magic version) and I don't want to be sad. I also have a hard time listening to Beauty and the Beast blues jam without welling up. Sometimes I cry tears of joy because it's so beautiful it hurts. This happened to me just yesterday with my girlfriend Annabell Lee in the car.
Maybe I'm just a total emo? lol
So what Stevie/FM songs make you cry? :(

Love. Freaking. Is. Enough said.

I lose my sh*t to that song.

Beautiful Child
Over & Over
Save Me A Place
Storms
Songbird
Landslide
Goodbye Baby
Moonlight
Everybody Loves You

Dude, totally forgot that but yes!

demo and live i totally agree!!!! on the album tho....???? sarah in the background going ...boop, boop, boop.... i just keep looking around outside cuz i always think a truck is outside backing up!!! sadly...i'm not kidding!

Landslide
Songbird
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You


Actually, there isn't that many that make me cry! :lol:

Beautiful Child.
Touched by an Angel.
I teared up during BATB in Vegas a couple years ago. I was in front and she looked at me when she sang, " would you die of grieving when I leave..." I lost it.

More recent, Italian Summer.

Jamie

This. Just this.

It's interesting that even the new songs are making us cry. Usually I cry to a song because there is some memory or person attached to it but not in this case (unless it was a demo). I just can't wait to see what new songs she does tomorrow if any! I think I will cry if she does lol.

I can't even listen to that one since my mom passed two years ago.(Touched by an Angel)

Beautiful Child, HAEWAFY, Love Is, B&TB....

Storms. Without fail.

Landslide
Beautiful Child
Gypsy piano demo
Planets piano demo
Crystal, but Lindsey's version

How could I forget my special song? For sure.

Silver Springs. The dance version

Songbird. (if i'm in the right frame of mind)
Italian Summer(Made me bawl on the first listen

Actually not to many Mac/stevie Songs make me cry. I have a whole list of songs by other artists that make me cry though

Mick

Alright so I'm still a new listener and I've only heard up to the Live album because I'm going by date order of when they were released because I'm kind of weird like that:wavey:; but the Stevie/FM songs that make me cry would have to be:

1. Crystal (One of the most epic, beautiful and touching songs ever written)
2. Landslide (I was on the way home from Spring Break listening to the white album on shuffle and this song came on and I started bawling. With graduation and everything going on this song is extremely special to me right now. However, the emotion of the studio version does not even begin to compare with the version from the live album. I swear once Stevie starts getting all emotional I'm long gone.)
3. Songbird (one of the most poignant love songs of all time. Christine Mcvie is severely underrated:nod:)
4. Storms (I don't know if this too personal but I can relate to this song extremely well I swear whenever I listen to this song I feel like Stevie took the words I cannot say and put them to a melody...love her.)
5. Sisters of the Moon Demo (As much as I love the studio version, this one with all of the original lyrics and the emotion she had while singing it...kills me)
6. Never Make Me Cry (Ironically this one makes me cry...another beautiful song from the world's most underrated album:Tusk)
7. Beautiful Child (love this song..."Your eyes say yes but you don't say yes *shivers and tears*)

OK so maybe I just cry a lot and I'm sure there will be more to listen to as I go through the albums and get to Stevie's solo stuff. But I can honestly say that this band has some of the most touching lyrics I have ever heard. Sorry to ramble :)!

Fleetwood Mac: Why
Stevie Nicks: Soldier's Angel

Silver Dayum Springs!!!!!!

It made me fall in love with MAC and Stevie's voice!

If you've never been there, it went over your head!

When my grandma passed away, it was the only thing that got me through it. I wasn't able to go to her funeral for ~family drama~ reasons, and the song helped so much. I'm really glad it helped you, too. But yeah. F*cking waterworks each time.

PREACH!!!!!!! God knows Stevie was speaking to me!!!!! He Just Dont Get It!!!! Tell'em Stevie! TELL HIM!!!!!!

Totally. And.IMO, Stevie has NEVER topped that vocal.....never ever:] lol

Mick

I think I would've died.


Some other tearjerkers for me, as taken from my "Heartbreaking Stevie Sh*t" playlist on iTunes:

Storms
CRYSTAL (this will be my wedding song)
Beautiful Child
Silver Springs
FORSAKEN LOVE


These songs perfectly describe a specific situation from my past, so they get me pretty badly.

Silver Springs makes me wanna punch someone, not cry.

I feel like doing both at the same time :D

I totally get it. I always liked FM and Stevie before seeing her perform Silver Springs during The Dance, but AFTER that happened, I was hooked.


Jamie

and you are telling the truth!!!!!!

yes yes yes................but i can't hear this live! it takes me back to the first time i heard it. how it was the turning point in my relationship at the time and how i KNEW right then and there that Stevie was amazing!!!!

"Love Is" (that line "she told in the hallway frozen, in the dark, and her heart broke down, she cried, she fell to the floor")

"Sleeping Angel" (dunno why but for some reason the end gets me)

Very cool thread, Lindsay.
A few of Stevie's songs make me cry...Love Is, Gypsy, Silver Springs. But the one that gets me is Seven Wonders. Does anyone here remember when MTV actually played FMac videos? I do :wavey:. I rememeber my best friend and I being young, excited girls watching MTV and waiting for the premiere of the Seven Wonders video. Stevie looked so beautiful in this video, and of course we wanted to be her! When I hear that song, it just takes me back to being a kid in the 80's. Good times.

Of the new ones, the one I've misted up for is:

For What It's Worth. That "you saved my life" thing she does toward the middle is just...fabulous and hearwrenching.

Others:
Stevie: Live...even if it's not hers, Circle Dance. I cried (a little, I'm not a big crier) every single time I heard it that summer. Her voice just held such strength and brought back my own dad's passing.

FM-
Say Goodbye. I love the recording so I was waiting for it live. And, the first three times (I believe) someone in the audience, to my left, right, back or front, did something to interrupt my rapt attention during the performance. And, then, I was lucky enough to get front row a few times and stood at the stage. A few times right between Stevie and Lindsey. There was one time (I think Philly) where the two of them absolutely did not break each other's gaze during the entire thing. It was something to behold.

Silver Springs: not so much for the song itself but for being the song that got me into this whole shebang. I only got to see it live ...twice maybe? before it was dumped from the setlist of SYW.

And, last but not least, the oddest one...Gold Dust Woman! I remember one concert where I watched and remembered my very first Stevie live experience. The Central Park in Blue thing with Sheryl Crow. I made my way up in this massive crowd and it was raining lightly and...there she was. Years later, for some reason, while I was watching her sing it during the Camden/Philly next to last SYW show (a very, very emotional show by the way), I just got all verklempt.

Landslide,B and the B,Storms to name a few that turns on the waterworks for me.

Rose Garden. When she sings "well I've got all these things... all these things but a small gold band... on my finger... on my left hand".

I cry for all the people who've passed up their one great love and regretted it ever since. I cry for myself for not having found the man of my dreams yet. And I cry for all my friends who have spent years with the love of their life and yet still can't legally call them "husband" or "wife".

Silver Springs. I had goosebumps when I saw the Dance, and having not known beforehand they were going to do it when she sang the first few lines I immediately started to cry because I knew what the song meant to her and that she was finally going to get to perform it. But the studio version they had on The Chain will always be my favorite. There was once a boy who was a very good friend. Our friendship had a love and a closeness that few others had, yet he was straight and we could never be together. I longed for him, and he knew it. He was kind. And one day he fell in love with a girl. "So I begin not to love you... turn around, see me running... I'll say I loved you years ago... and tell myself you never loved me." Breaks my heart every time.

Beautiful Child. "You say it will be harder in the morning... I wait for you to say just go". Always gets me.

Moonlight. I've written about this in other threads. It speaks to my soul about a lot of stuff I'm going through right now. And the things I can't walk way from. And the fact that the Lady from the Mountain has finally found a home. That makes me so happy.

And lastly, when Stevie thanked Ellen for letting her perform Secret Love the other day. She was so humble and so sweet. And the look in her eyes showed that she really meant it. I couldn't stop crying when I saw that.

Aww, we're such a bunch of saps! Love it!

I mist up at 'Gypsy' quite a lot, because it's just so perfect and sparkly and yet wistful.

A single tear will often roll during 'Silver Springs' and 'Sara'.

I'm usually in bits at the end of 'Blue Water'. Don't know why, except that I love the sea too, and all that waiting for the sound of my gypsy....

Cannot even get to the end of 'I Miss You', from TISL. I think it's something in the musical arrangement that sets me off. I am literally tearing up as a type this. Whyyyyyyy?? :laugh:

Loz

Anything live, forget it. I'm pretty much a blubbering idiot throughout the whole show. I used to cry a lot over Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You when I was a young girl (20s). I would play it just so I could cry! Those tears were for me and my situation at the time. I have choked up many times listening to Red Rock's Beauty and the Beast, purely over the way she sings it. I *almost* burst into tears when I first walked into NOTS last year. The energy was fantastic. My first thought was, "my people!!!" HAHAHA

Never heard it! Gotta hear it! Hook a sista up!!!!!!!! :D

Beautiful Child + Storms. Every time. Without fail.

Silver Springs, Landslide, Beauty and the Beast, Love Is and When I See You Again if I'm in a particularly sad mood.

Although, I found myself crying to Thrown Down the other night, and I have no idea where THAT came from. :laugh:

Storms for sure. When I *really* discovered FM for the first time via the Very Best Of, I was a sobbing mess over this song. I actually had to go a little while without listening to it because it honestly made me far too sad to function in any responsible way afterwards.

I know we're talking about Stevie/FM shows here, but I've discovered I cry at the drop of a hat at any live concert. Some of my most recent have been Foo Fighters, Train, Bon Jovi, Ed Kowalczyk and Maroon 5 (I have eclectic and not entirely healthy tastes in music) and I've managed at least a few tears at every damn one of them! There's clearly something wrong with me, but I find that sometimes all it takes is one line that for whatever reason just *wham* really hits you once you're in the moment and you see all these other people, completely different from you but just as engaged with the music.

Having established this, there's a good chance I will have to be taken out of Stevie's anticipated November concert on a stretcher, with oxygen :laugh:

Someone I don't know very well once asked me to go with him to a concert by Andreas Scholl (a counter-tenor, in case you don't know), and he met me outside the venue dressed in a linen suit and carrying a cane, like Dirk Bogarde in Death in Venice. When we took our seats, and Andreas Scholl was about to inhale his very first breath, my friend turned to me and said, 'And now I shall weep.' Which he proceeded to do for the next hour and a quarter. His shirt-front was sodden. I've never been able to listen to any counter-tenor without blubbing since.
