![]() I'm glad I got see it Seven Wonders performed at a show I attended. I would have been disappointed if I attendedt later show, knowing that Seven Wonders (and Songdbird) were retired from the show.
Something came to mind when I was recently watching a few performances of the song on Youtube. Stevie is essentially saying American Horror Story is responsible bringing the song back to the stage, because otherwise, she never intended to perform it again. But why? It was a well known hit song, so it is somewhat peculiar that it was exclusively performed on the Tango tour and never heard from again. Did she feel an obligation to bring it back to the set because, through the TV show, it was reintroduced to the public, and a newer generation? So why did she drop it ? Even though it comes from 1987, it was one of the youngest songs in the set! On the surface, the song is upbeat and reflective. Yet, I have always felt the lyrics are a clunky mishmash. There are bits of imagery, and a few evocative lines, but as a whole, it doesn't really gel; it just feels half-baked to me. I still like the song as it is, but wish the lyric was crafted more cohesively. I wonder how much of the mix up between Sandy Stewart's original lyrics and Stevie's interpretation of them affected the end result.

![]() For me the lyrics are perfect, 5/5 song, one of my favorite FM songs ever, so beautiful.
Also I think it's just a fun shout-out to AHS because she enjoyed being on set... Maybe she dropped it because Season 4 sucked and Lady GaGa was announced for Season 5 lol But actually I still have hopes for those 2 songs to come back for European leg. |

![]() I wonder (and hope) if they bring it back for the European leg of the tour, the Tango album was a huge hit over here.

![]() I love the song and I'm so glad I got to hear it live. However, the key was dropped noticeably and the song seemed "draggy." That might be why they 86ed it.
Have they seriously dropped "Songbird" from the set entirely? WTF? |

![]() It's a hard song to sing - probably very tiring for her vocal chords.
However, now they've been rested for a month, I hope to see it back.

![]() If that's why it was dropped, the whole setlist would disappear.

![]() Will we live to hear the Seven Wonders --that same, same beauty again -- at a certain time, a certain place? Let's hope and pray it might work out someday.

![]() I think the chorus part was in the same key, it was the verses where Stevie has to sing it safe now, especially this part : "All the WAYYYYYYYYY, all the way down to Emmeline".
