Sorry, but that came off to me as hilarious!!!

Silver Hurl is definitely growing on me, but I thoroughly disagree with dissention! Not Make Believe is one of my favourite FM tracks EVER. I can't find fault with it except for 'It was the best of times..' (plus I always think of Mr Burns ... "It was the best times, it was the BLURST of times?? You stupid monkey!")

But I mean, maybe NMB makes more sense to me than a song about a Stevie/Sheryl Silver Girl figure caught in a man's hi-tech world and you can see her soul is she lets you see her soul if she lets you see her soul.

I like it and the way it's written. When I listen to it, it seems to me that Stevie was trying to paint a vivid picture of this human character. She explains how the "silver girl" is a wild one, a girl who has made good things happen for herself in such a hard world, how she is much wiser than her years let on, how she is very guarded and doesn't trust people easily, how she wishes she had been born earlier in life, and how with all the things she has (a million bucks and good looks), she still wants things from life that will make her happy; the money and how she looks are just superficial things to her.

That's what I took away from the song!

Sooo.... should I keep my nickname??? I chose it before ever hearing it or knowing if I liked it of course ... just liked the sound of the title!....... I think just the over all 'rockin'ness' of the album leaves me a little 'unprepared' for the drastic slowdown, but I do like the lyrics, and agree with dissention above ^ i DO relate to it, and parts of it do remind me of 'hard times' of my own: 'papers she never signed' remind ME of my bankruptcy, house foreclosure etc., last year ( depressing!)
but anyway it HAS grown on me...... and changing the sequence does make all the difference!

btw~this is not sheryl crow

Darlin', that song makes When I See You Again look like FMs crowning achievement. LOL

It isn't just the abhorrable lyrics, it's the way that it's produced and the music and everything. It's so blah to my ears. I just can't stand it, and I LOVE Stevie to death! But, I'm glad you enjoy it!

I just don't like the song and it has nothing to do with my general dislike for Sheryl Crow. I read the lyrics on someones website before the album came out and I was like, "WOW THIS IS GREAT!" And then I heard it...and I was not impressed. I just feel that musically, they could have done so much more with this song. A good song would be a good song regardless of who it was written about. This, IMO, is not a good song. Lyrically, it kicks ass but other than that...

Basically, I think our problem with the song is that it's not "Fleetwood Mac"...it's "Stevie Nicks" set to some crappy melody. Had she done this on her own solo album, I probably would have liked it. But I don't like what Fleetwood Mac did to it.

"Which lever do I pull to be crushed by a safe?"~me at the concert if they play this song. I can think of MANY MORE SONGS I would rather hear than this. I hope they don't play it.

LOL No ****. This will be the "pee break song" at the concert if they do it. The lyrics are just fine.. very Stevie.. but the music.. omg. It's so.. tired. It's like it rocks back and forth, back and forth in the same directions, nothing special at all.

I love that that dude called it Silver Hurl. lol.

Pee break song?!?! This mofo drags out for lightyears...it's like the explosive diarreah break song. You could go back to that bathroom ten freakin' times and the song probably still wouldn't be over. LOL. Silver Hurl...word up to whoever said that...lol
