No one walks away...from this battle
Well I didn't want to start a whole new thread so I just wanted to ressurrect this one for a bit.
I personally love all of Stevie's soundtrack songs, and can't understand why some of them were not included on her albums (i.e. Blue Lamp, Violet & Blue, Battle...etc.). My top five are:
1. Battle of the Dragon: I just love this song. Very mystical and ethereal, also I love at the end how her vocal fades out and we get that little synthesizer part finishing the song. I have also heard the demo with Tom Petty, but I think the finished version is definitely better. This could have easily been the best song on Rock A Little if Stevie would have inlcuded it!
2. Blue Lamp: This is really tied with BOTD. And some say this was performed live? AHH I would KILL to see Stevie do this one. The music is just great and the ending is killer.."and the light that shines through the shining night is a lamp that I carry from my mother's home..." Stevie really gets going at the end of the song. Too bad it cuts out so early.
3. Violet and Blue: Another good uptempo song from Stevie. I think this would have fit nicely on Wild Heart...Stevie is really crazy for leaving it off! I love how Stevie sounds when she is wailing away on this one.
4. Sleeping Angel: This song is just really beautiful. And this part is just the best:
Well, someday when we're older
And my hair is silver gray
Unbraid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain
5. I'm going to have to say Twisted. This song is really great and I love the guitar part on it. The only thing is that I've only heard the demo and never heard the finished product..but oh well I love it still.
