But for some reason I've never really turned to Stevie's music at those times. You'd think I would, but I don't and I don't think I ever have. It just doesn't do it for me.
I'm more likely to go down the Tears for Fears / Roland Orzabal / Duran Duran (!) route for some reason.
I wonder why.  |
I think, when faced with a long dark night, I have turned to Billie Holiday, or Bonnie Raitt ("Love Has No Pride"), or perhaps Lisa Gerrard, Jane Siberry, or Tori Amos. Strand mentioned one Stevie song that is helpful to me in a despairing moment, but I guess I don't really lean on Stevie's music when I am down. Perhaps inspiration, or bravado would have been better words to use for this thread.
