Possible Album Title? (Spoiler maybe) - Page 3

golddustwoman77 · #31 11-06-2002, 05:34 PM

I don't really care what they call it as long as it has that Fleetwood Macish, sounding title like Rumours, Mirage, etc. It needs to be something unique like the band. It doesn't need to be something that has already been used or almost used. It needs to be an original that goes with the album project. Something that pulls it all together. It is hard to know what they need to call it, when we don't know what is on the album. I'll know if I like the title once I hear the album and get its feel. I'll know then if they picked the right title for the album or not.

Johnny Stew, lol, what the HELL is with your signature?

Well, it was supposed to be a private message to someone, but I'll spill the beans...

... it's the German translation of the English lyric, "every now and then, I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you" (from "Total Eclipse Of The Heart," written by Jim Steinman).

'Illume' is the best of the non-GOS suggestions, but I'm afraid I find it too Stevie, on balance.

I just pictured 'Gift of Screws' rendered in that classic FM 'gothic' lettering ... that could really rock!

And for those of you thinking GOS is too Lindsey as opposed to Stevie, well remember there's the 'inital reaction' or 'innuendo' meaning of "GOS", but then there's the meaning in the context of Dickinson's poem. And it's a positivey, Stevie kind of phrase 'the Gift of screws' (that are wrung from the rose).

Another alternative I would love to see is like Rumours, where there is a sufficiently big media and public 'frenzy' of sorts before its release, which would inspire something at once relevant and timeless, like John's 'Rumours' was.

Mandatory silly suggestions :

Twist of Gifts
Screws of Fate
In-thin-uation ("FM are looking great and smelling of Wheat Thins!")
We Are the World........'s oldest, zaniest, craziest, best band!

And a Lindsey solo album!:
Out of the Rock ..I've been hiding under!

And finally, a follow up to The Visitor!:
Tried for the Son (... but kept ending up with daughters!)

(I should've given up long ago, but..) Christopher Nicks speaks out with his new autobiography:
Brother of the Loon: "I'm sick of being 'the moon' to her 'sister'! Oh, Lindsey gets all the damned planets of the universe, but I'm a moon?? Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for me? ...No!!"

I was thinking along similar lines and thought that that might not be objectionable to Stevie:

essential oils are wrung
like attar from the rose
be not expressed by suns alone
it is the gift of screws

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for me? ...No!!"

Hehehe...

Illume - ugh, so "girly girl" like calling an album Crystal Visions or something. Frankly, I hope the song has a good tune because the concept of this illume business does not lend itself to good lyrics.

"Infatuation" is also too girly.

"Full Circle" - So corny! Does EVERYTHING have to be about cycles? lol I hope this isn't a cycle-themed album about how they were bad but now it's all good, we all have spiritual fulfilment a a sense of karmic peace, blah, blah. If Come is on it, it shouldn't be! Although I wouldn't mind a love ballad from Lindsey. I've always wondered why he never writes real love songs. Now's his chance!

"Gift of Screws" and "Twist of Fate" are the best choices out of the ones given (I lean heavily towards the latter). HOWEVER, naming the album after a song is tres dull. It's almost as bad as "Buckingham Nicks by Buckingham Nicks" and "Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac" lol. Mirage and Rumours weren't like that, and it seems like the consensus that those were the best titles. That's a problem Stevie's always had - naming the album after a song. Lindsey has been better about it with L&O and OOTC. Plus that poem he wrote, Sardonic World, uses a title not mentioned in the text. Hmm, how's THAT for an album title?

Sardonic World? Hmmmmmmm....sounds like something you'd eat with a Wheat Thin.

Here is the poem Illume that can be found at the Nicks Fix under Stevie's Sept. 11th journal entries. The song probably won't deviate too far from this version.

Illume
Says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to point Dune
A cliff dweller from the old school-

I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
Like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering-
Like a diamond snake-
In a black sky

And I am alone with my thoughts
And how we could make it-
And what we have all been through
And all of the trauma-
With the smell of Nag Champa
Like a kiss- like a stranger-
What we have seen on this journey
Are what legends are made of-

I will not take you for granted
My friend, my dear one, my love-
I wouldn’t trade you for jade…
Or for diamonds~
I need you to be there~
Please~
Remember when I am haunted
That I was just scared-
And when I remember
That day in my life-
I will remember that you-
Were there-

Stevie Nicks

I'm really glad you did too! I crack up every time I see it too!

You know, I would have thought about "peculiarly" too, but Christine pulls it off quite well!

That sounds like a mixup to me..
