"You Can't Fix This"

[Josh2003]

Not sure where the info came from, but NicksLive posted a photo on Facebook of Stevie and the Sound City band playing last night, with the caption that Stevie wrote the song about the death of her god son (I'm assuming this is Glen Parrish's son, who passed away last year, I believe).

I don't think it had been confirmed before, but it appears that this is a new Stevie tune, and not just a song that she happens to be singing on. Can't wait to hear it!

EDIT: It looks like the info came from MTV! http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/170...nce-2013.jhtml

this was not the quote i originally saw, but here's another one:

Nicks wooed with a new song written with Grohl, "You Can't Fix This" – based on a poem she wrote after her godson’s overdose – and the Sundance-appropriate "snow covered hills" of "Landslide."

so i'd assume SN wrote the words and Grohl wrote the music.

Thanks for the info, Josh & Elle. I was already looking forward to this collaboration, as a Dave Grohl admirer, but even more so now. I hope we get a preview of the song soon.

I like the title.

Glen Parrish confirmed on Facebook that Stevie and Dave wrote it together.

Stevie must have a thing for co-writing with Daves.

did no one capture this one on video? bueller? bueller?

I may have heard this story before, but I have forgotten it. "You can't fix this" is a song Stevie wrote about the death of her godson. I guess he had an overdose. Who is it? I forget. Someone fill me in.

It was Glen Parrish's son..there is a link to the facebook page at the top of the thread.

found this...

Nicks premiered "You Can't Fix This," written, she said, after her godson died from alcohol poisoning after a fraternity hazing.

hmmm... so that is what happened. How very sad.

Yeah, me tooo.... Surely it doesn't mean vocally. I'm guessing the guitars?

What a weird way to describe something.

Apparently he wasn't in the fraternity, or even a student at the university:

I didn't realize he died a month before Stevie's Mother passed. I can kinda see now why Stevie has been making these comments about her own mortality & not wanting to waste time.

I think it's supposed to be like "high octane"...
