Stevie's favourite song?
 
This has been something I've been thinking about recently. What do you think is Stevie's favourite song out of everything she's ever wrote?

I would have guessed at Rhiannon or Dreams, although, isn't she like, totally in love with Touched By An Angel? I still need to hear that song :(

Considering the fact that she cries every/nearly every time she performs HAEWAFY?, I believe that it touches her very deeply and speaks alot of herself. So personally I like to believe it's this one. At least I hope so, because it's mine for that exact reason lol.

she says every song is her favorite.

at one time i thought she said how still my love was her favorite. then she said dreams was her favorite because it was fleetwood mac's only #1 hit. i've heard her say some other ones are her favorite as well, so who knows.

Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) does the exact same thing, and it bugs the bejaysus out of me! Every time I watch a live show, he introduces a new song each time as his favourite. The first time I heard him say it, he was talking about my favourite of their songs (Country Feedback), and I got so happy. But he ruined it when he changed it the next show. Oh well. I could never be too angry with him. I did grab a handful of his ass at the only show I've been to so that was great lol XD

I read on an interview once that in her opinion the best lyrics she ever wrote were in Storms (I gotta agree with that one :nod:) and I know Rhiannon is very near and dear to her heart (she refused to have it released as a single at first cause she didn't wanna see it fail).

She's definitely said through the decades that How Still My Love is her favorite song to perform onstage.

Like Cassie said, she's also mentioned Storms was her best lyrically.

I suspect she has different favorites for different reasons. :)

Sara was my favorite [song] ~ for that kind of song. Sara was, and is, the love of my life. There are different kinds of favorites. You have your miserable favorites and your happy favorites. I can't pick just one [song].

Rhiannon. Or as some dipshi&s might spell it, Rihanna.

I myself have never heard Touched By An Angel either, wasn't it on a soundtrack? But I think Stevie's favorite son she's ever wrote was Has Anyone Ever written Anything For You...simply because somewhere I heard her say she loves it, and it's on her album Timespace, and that's an album made up of her favourite songs so.. just a thought. :)

Anytime :)

I really like the song too. Listening to it again might have made it my favorite song of the week :)

She doesn't have a favorite because her songs are like her children (according to Stevie herself) and you can't pick a favorite child!

Given that information my answer to this question is that it probably changes over time and changes frequently and I'm sure she likes some more than others. I'm also sure she associates some songs with good memories and some with not so good memories but more likely than not every one of them represents something significant in her life, even Jane!

Except for IDWTK. That's like the stepchild that she forces to do all the housework.
