Oh yes, let's...
My second favourite FM song, second only to Sara (of course).
My favourite part is the second verse. Especially the "And it all comes down to you/Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice" part. It's my ringtone.
Discovered the song after a really good friend (who is now my foster sister) moved away to school. I was pretty broken up about what the distance was going to do to our relationship, and change in general. And my mom bought me a copy of the Dance on DVD to try and cheer me up (this was early in the FM Fandom), and that version of the song was so comforting to me. To this day, I have a soft spot for the Dance version of Gypsy...so light and simple.
Of course, I love the studio version...especially the extended version from the Chain box with the "I can't find you's" at the end. Breaks my freaking heart!
So the song jointly reminds me of my sister and is hugely inspiring to me.
The video sparked a deep love of pink/purple sunsets. I love going for a drive and watching the sun go down and listening to this song.
Can someone clarify the timeline on this. I believe Stevie wrote it during the Tusk tour, then worked on it for Bella Donna, but it ended up on Mirage? Is there any truth to Robin's illness giving the song new meaning for her, of is that more speculation?
