Blue Lamp
 

I am sort of late to this. I've had Enchanted for years but never noticed this song until now. WOW!!!! This is my new favorite song. I love the lyrics and music. Upstairs, big old house is mine! And then how the lyrucs just kind of quickly fade out at the end. Just a very cool song. Anyone know what year this was recorded?

It's from the Heavy Metal Soundtrack - I think 1981 release. (Recorded in BD days??)

I'm not nuts about all the lyrics, but I love the melody & her vocal & phrasing. My favorite part is the last few lines - wish it were longer - And the light that shines, etc.

My favorite part too...

For some reason it sounded like it could have been Late 80's early 90's Stevie (in a way) but still sounded like early 80's Stevie. Normally I can pinpoint an exact year with her voice, but sometimes a song can throw me for a loop.

No, her voice there matches the Bella Donna album exactly, IMO. TOSOTM, Mask, & TimeSpace voice was not as great as that earlier voice.

- Jake

Yup, now that I'm listening to it I can see that. Her voice is great in this song! I think I'm really excited because I just haven't heard a new Stevie song in a long time... because the song is like new to me even though I have had it for years I never thought anything of it.

Now there's a song I would love to hear her do live again!!!

This was the very first thing she tracked (as opposed to just doing demos with Tom Moncrief or the Tom Pettybreakers in 1979 & 1980) as a solo artist, according to her. It was recorded in late 1980 & early 1981.

I like that song too. I love the ending where she says "And the light that shines thru the shining night is the lamp that I carried from my mothers home..." Probably the best part of the song, and its the fading ending! =)

. . . and she sang it on the BD tour :cool:

u just heard "Blue Lamp" for the first time NOW?? where have u been, son? ;)

"Blue Lamp", "Gold and Braid", and "Sleeping Angel" all should have been on Bella Donna.

Ah - I thought maybe this thread was about the actual blue lamp :p

The song took a while to grow on me - I really didn't like it at first, it's still not one of my favorites - but I do enjoy it. The actual lamp, on the other hand, I love!

Blue Lamp is one of my favorites. I too love the ending part and wish it didn't fade out like that.

My favorite part is the "ooh ooooh... yeeeahhhh.... ooh ooohhh... yeeeeahhh..."

I don't like this song one bit. :sorry: I'm one of the few people who doesn't like most of Enchanted Disk 3 (with the exception of a few songs).
