Stevie's Last Solo-Written Song
Got curious about this today - the song for which Stevie most recently wrote both music and lyrics. I think it would be "Soldier's Angel" in 2011, correct? ("Moonlight" from the same year could also kinda count I guess, but of course at least half of that song was written decades earlier.)
I checked copyright registrations and it doesn't seem she's registered anything solo-written since then either. I wonder if "Solider's Angel" will prove to be the last song she writes on her own. There could be worse notes to end on, I guess! |
Copyrights not withstanding, IDK if she's ever actually completely written a song by herself. She's always needed a Lindsey, a Jimmy, a somebody to turn her little ditty poetry into something of substance.

I lost my liner notes for the 24 Karat Gold Deluxe cd but did she write I Don't Care solo?
Or was that Campbell? What's striking about Soldier's Angel is that she made a point of stating that had it not been for Lindsey agreeing to come to her house to play SA for her, the song wouldn't have been on IYD. Thus to me, the song as I hear it on IYD, can't genuinely be considered a solely Stevie tune. I think she even said before the 2013 tour that it was the most BN song they ever recorded. |

Stevie wrote Soldier’s Angel. Lindsey was the one who was able to capture on guitar what Stevie herself did in her piano demo. I am not discounting Lindsey’s contributions as a producer to Stevie’s music but come on - if you look at most of her demos, you find the bones of what would become some of her greatest hits, even with her own rudimentary piano skills. And trying to take her lyrics away from her by referring to them as “ditties” is just offensive. Lindsey is a great guitar player and producer but Stevie is the superior lyricist by far. Their skills complement rather than diminish each other. Also, I checked the credits and Stevie is credited as the sole I Don’t Care writer, as she is on most of 24KG. I think she said she improvised the last verse in the studio so this is probably her most recent solo-written song. |

Above - Stevie herself suggesting Soldier's Angel is a Buckingham Nicks creation. I'm sharing her view. I don't see the misogyny point. You do not know what's in my head or my heart. I love Stevie. Seen her over 40 times, even bought her new 3 disc set. This is a forum which is an exchange of opinions. There was no hate speech shared by me. Not nice of you. Thankfully, many believe we all answer to The Lord for how we speak to others :thumbsup: |

What I don’t get....(misogyny apart)..
Some of her demos, early demos I mean, sound pretty good. Just her and the piano BUT the tune is there. Before anyone else has given the song a hand. Before production. Some of them sound really good, some better than the finished article. So she can and did write songs. |

This is not the first time that it’s been said Stevie needed a man to turn her songs into anything. If I as a 50 year old man can see the endless misogyny, others can too. They are just choosing not to. As for the thread topic, I hope that I Don’t Care isn’t her final solo song as I can barely tolerate it. Would be much better if Soldier’s Angel. |
