I was just being sarcastic in that post although there are plenty of people who believe that My Heart was indeed not good enough, and who are you to say Stevie isn't one of them?

Thanks for explaining the "numerous, varied reasons why songs are cut", but I'm sure Stevie's many fans who adore songs such as Julia, The Dealer and Sanctuary, to name just three, will have already figured out that songs sometimes don't make the cut regardless of how good they are. And most people here are also aware the much-loved Silver Springs was also a cut song.

You obviously haven't heard Ooh Baby.

But back to the original question. I still don't think there's any way in hell Stevie is gonna play My Heart in Vegas.

My God, trackaghost. Take a chill pill. We're not discussing the fate of the world here. I'm sorry if you felt so deeply offended by my opinion.
That wasn't my intent.

My statements were presented not as fact, but as theory, directed to no one in particular. It wasn't a dissertation. (And it had none of the unexplicable bitter nastiness that you have spewed at me.)

The irony of this is that, in actuality, we are on the same page!
Go figure.

Anyway, your statements appeared directed at me since you quoted me in your post.

I'm completely lost as to what bearing it has that I didn't post a message for a long while after an incidental (and idiotic) spat. I don't follow your thought. Regardless, I'm not here to offend people or cause riffs. I'm sorry if my post bothered you. Let's kiss and make up, please?

I should have just been more specific on why I think some songs never get released. I'm making the point that the factor(s) are not as simple as a song being deemed as below par. Here are a few speculative senarios:

Too many songs recorded -- not enough room on an LP
Too many songs recorded -- didn't want the cd to be too long
After several attempts, the song was just forgotten
Song didn't fit the flow and mood of the album
Stevie didn't like the way it was produced
Stevie's producer convinced her to leave it off the album
Stevie decided to save it for another album
It was intended for a soundtrack, but never used
The record company's people didn't like the song
Legal problems regarding publishing rights
Stevie had a "Reconsider Me" moment

I just meant sometimes we all let insignificant or trivial things get to us, even you have.
But I'm good to make up if you are

Back to the topic at hand...

I really think the lyrics in My Heart are beautiful. I think we can all relate to them after a breakup or if you are in love with someone you can't be with, etc. My favorite lines are "My heart still stops, when I stand before you. My heart still breaks, when you take my hand. My eyes still close when soemone speaks your name..." I think she is obviously talking about Lindsey. They may be broken up but for a few hours every night on any Fleetwood Mac tour (I'm guessing she is refering to the Dance) they do stand before one another and hold hands. And in interviews she often closes her eyes "when someone speaks his name". I don't know, I love the song and I think her voice is perfection. I love her nasally voice and her voice on this song is very nasal but still strong.

I agree - I love the lyrics. I don't care for the musical arrangement or the instrumentation. I've even gotten over my eye-rolling at "windows like the eyes to the soul"... because I've heard and read it messed up like that countless other times since the song surfaced!

I always found it funny, because it would have worked rhythmically for her to say "eyes.... like windows to the soul..." I guess she didn't for some crazy unknown reason! My favourite musical part, though, is after the third chorus, when she goes, "and you understaaaaaahaaaand....." into the musical bridge.

My favorite musical part is when she sings "you stand alone, like nothing's changed, your face, your name!"

If there is any place to resurrect "I Can't Wait," Vegas would be the place. Given the need for big high energy and dramatic production, songs like I Can't Wait, Beauty and the Beast, Rooms on Fire and Fall From Grace are great choices! With Gypsy, visual elements from the video could be re-staged -- that would be cool. "Trouble in Shangrila" and "Candlebright" would be cool too.

Stevie mentioned in a recent interview that she was nervous about what to do on such a big stage. If she consulted her fans, we'd give her plenty of grand ideas.

Yes I completely agree..I think a place like these Vegas shows would be perfect for the "high energy" songs like u said, rooms on fire, i cant wait, if anyone falls even..plus she did say she would be doing a lot of the "video songs" for the visual elements..
