"Without You" Will be a New FM Song
 

According to an interview on Access Hollywood via http://www.nickslive.blogspot.com/, Stevie says "Without You" will be released as an FM song. She sings I think part of the second verse! Stevie also goes on to say she wrote it about Lindsey. I didn't know which one wrote it until now. Also, Mick says this is the fastest selling FM tour in 24 years (since Tango in the Night?). Stevie says she knew when they were recording the new songs.... the tour was going to be huge, and says it was like "witchery" that she knew. You can hear the interviewer chuckling, but whatever....that's our Stevie. :nod:

Faster than the Reunion tour (The Dance)? Hard to believe, isn't it?

Those are not the words to Without You, Stevie :lol: Close, though.



Lol @ Mick thanking Stevie for the premonition of the tour being big.

Yeah, the word "symphony" is "melody" in the demo. The rest of the verse appears to be the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc3VbDk3Fv4

Demo:
"Come to me now, and I'll never know another
You are a song for me, a melody
Ingrained in my soul
Sing, sing your song
For my ears they only hear you"

Stevie:
"Come to me now, for my eyes they only see you
You are a song for me, a symphony
Ingrained in my heart"


But yeah, close enough. :lol: Clearly I've been listening to it rather obsessively lately haha.

Yeah, that's it. Either she has changed the words or couldn't remember them since it's from so long ago. The demo sounds like Lindsey is lead vocal..that's why I didn't know which one wrote it. It will be interesting to learn who is lead in the new version.

I have this on a boot cd, but was it actually part of the original Polydor BN release or was it a demo that never made it onto the record? I can't remember..

They sing that part twice in the original demo -- I wonder if maybe, for the recording, they'll sing it the way we know it the first time, and then switch it up with "my eyes they only see you" and "a song for me, a symphony" for the second.

Either way, I cannot wait to hear it!

It wasn't a part of the original album, but it's often tacked onto bootleg copies.

Even though Stevie keeps questioning why it didn't make it onto 'Buckingham Nicks,' I think it was actually demoed for the second album they were working on when Fleetwood Mac came calling.

Lindsey thinks so too.

I've seen online that it was supposedly written by both of them?

According to a recent interview, Stevie said "Without You" could have gone on the BN LP, but had no idea why it didn't make it (She said the same thing about "Secret Love" and "Planets of the Universe" not making it onto Rumours.) Lindsey explained "Without You" was written after BN was recorded, and Stevie said something like, "Oh." :nod:

yup, Lindsey keeps saying in the interviews every time when Stevie brings up that she doesn't know why it was not on the original BN "cause it wasn't recorded yet". you can see him saying that in one of those videos from the series they couple of weeks ago, and she replies "you know, i think you are right!"

I thought he said it "wasn't written yet"

ha, we said the same thing at the same time! :)

LOL. We know our SN/LB/FM. :D

i think you are right! i kept going back in between written and recorded b/c i couldn't remember which was it. he said the same thing it that his and hers RS interview so that might be the easy place to check.

so to be honest, while i'm happy that they are finally releasing a song, i'm a bit disappointed that we will not hear a completely new song that we know nothing about yet. but hopefully once they release the first one, other 2 will follow in a short succession.

Once they release Sad Angel, you'll be cured of any desire to hear completely new songs.

I'm wondering if we will get this one first, though?

Did they specify? I thought she said they just decided to put it in the FM "wicker basket" with the others.

Also nice to hear her say that maybe they could get another song recorded - good that she's at least open to the idea of doing more new music.

People are always saying they want to hear new studio versions of demos instead of saying they want to hear great new material. The new versions of demos can be good, and I am curious to hear them, but I know the songs already and would rather hear a great new song. The one exception for me was the revised version of Planets of the Universe, which was killer. :thumbsup:

Why? Have you heard it?

yeah i was thinking that as i was typing lol. but i hope that miss fantasy is indeed that rocking stuff that was playing at the end of fuse video.

ah, guess i should listen to the interview before jumping to conclusions from just reading this thread. :)

You should watch the interview!

I found it rather amusing. Apparently Lindsey's studio is like a bunker.

just did. thanks for pointing it out Bandon! so it's another one from the series they did that one day in village recorder studio.

and agree, they didn't say anything about which song will be released first, just that Without you will be released as FM, not as BN.

it would seem they have maybe just a few days left before going into rehearsals so i hope they got their asses into gear with recording additional songs by now. holed up in Lindsey's "bunker" studio under his garage ;)

i think Michele is not very happy with the lyrics that stevie and lindsey quoted as being a part of that song. also, if you search youtube for fuse fleetwood mac interview, some people are speculating that the background music for most of that video might be instrumental for Sad Angel, while the rocking music at the end might be Miss Fantasy.

Okay...I see. Well I have been under-impressed by a lot of Lindsey's music for the past 16 years, so I can understand the concern.

;)

interesting, so you were under-impressed with GOS1, UTS, GOS, SWS?

see, for me GOS1 and SWS are stellar and contain a lot of my favorite LB music and GOS1 is perhaps the greatest album never released. but i do think that his music is and always was all over the place and in tons of different directions so it's really hard to tell where he will go next. during UTS and GOS years he seemed to be unable to write non-grating hooks, and then he came back with those unbelievable hooks on SWS. but the 3 songs from This is 40 soundtrack were somewhat... well, not that great. ;)

lol. :cool:

I'd like to hear McTrouble's review of these 3 songs.

i'm pretty sure you can see it if you look up those 3 songs in Lindsey forum.

I'm in the camp that would love to see my favorite demos recorded and released over new material. :o

"Without You" is one of my all time faves! :woohoo:

"Without You" is being put out ahead of a BN II or BN 40th anniversary release!!!!

:blob2::blob2::blob2::blob2::blob2:

lol. i am really happy for you if that's the case (as long as it doesn't take much additional time out of next Lindsey solo), but i think i missed it if that was a part of this interview?

as long as it's Deep Dense... and the released version is either this version or very close to it -

I thought she said the opposite? That they decided to make Without You a Fleetwood Mac release.

Thanks, Elle!

Well, that's what she said - that they were going to save it for the BN 40th anniversary and then she said, no let's go ahead and put it in the FM basket.

yeah, that's what i heard too.

:)

ok, yeah true she did say that. i thought maybe there was something more concrete re BN.

:mad: Must complete song and re-record it.
