Secret Love Lyrics - Different!!

[ckilger]

I always thought she was singing, "my secret love secretly died" since 1984 but the IYD lyric booklet says it is, "must secret loves secretly die" did anyone else notice this?

I thought she was saying the first one as well... "My secretly love secretly died." Hmpf.

[WildHearted]

what on earth?

my secret love secretly died.

that's how the song goes, no?

my mind has been blown,..

Actually I think the line "must secret loves secretly die" is a great line, especially if its meant as a question.

Yes they are good lyrics and do sort of change the meaning of the song... I was really surprised.... Glad I am not the only one! Check the lyric book and relisten. I wonder if Stevie forgot her original lyrics from 1976? Is that possible?

On another listen it IS "must secret loves secretly die?"

[WildHearted]

I do like the actual line better (must secret loves secretly die), I'm just surprised that literally EVERYONE heard the lyrics the same way (There didnt even seem to be a discrepancy) and then we get the album notes and it's flat out wrong..

Whaaat???

Wow- that's wierd.

As I mentioned on another thread, I think there's a typo in the lyric booklet with the Vampire song . It says, "HE sat in a chair for months just staring", when I'm pretty sure it should say "SHE". The scene in the movie that inspired her to write this song in the first place is of Bella sitting in a chair for months, not Edward.

The funny thing is that I thought Stevie sang the line with a bit of an accent : "Muh secret love secretly died." Would make me chuckle every time I heard it.

When I was reading the liner notes and saw that she was actually singing "MUST secret loves secretly die," it really surprised me. I liked the misheard line, but I'm far more fond of the actual lyric. I can't explain why, but it just adds something more to the emotion of the song.

Who knew that a song we've all been listening to for months, would still have something to reveal?

Years, because I thought she was saying "My secret love secretly died" in the demo too.

I hear "my secret love secretly died" as well, and I had two friends who are indifferent to Stevie listen and they heard the same as me.

The actual lyrics are infinitely better than the misheard lyrics - which is really a production issue.

True, true... but when I replied earlier, I was still thinking that was what she sang in the demo. But I just listened to it and, nope, it is indeed "must secret loves secretly die."

She had us all fooled!

This is the lyric shocker of them all! It takes on a whole new meaning.

For the umpteenth time, Stevie, enunciate!!!
It's a sad thing when you write good lyrics and every one of your diehard fans mishears them.
