Ohhh, sing it child!

Frustrizzle-stanken love!
It was stanken love!!
Well, I waited for yo' skanky, stankey ass-
But I've decided to ride away on the wind in my pimped out Cadillac!

{insert wails ala Mariah Carey here}

{segues to Li'l Kims rap on memories, earthquakes and the flashing of her boobs to Diana Ross}"

OMG that's hilarious!

I'll also concur with If You Were My Love

I personally think that the next album should be called "Space Needle." The lyrics seem to fit nicely for an artist who has matured and seen alot of the good and bad of rock 'n roll (of course, it all depends on what theme Stevie decides to go for, ala Shangri~La).

Here are some songs that I would love to hear:

Space Needle
Lady From The Mountain
Sanctuary
The Dealer (with Tom Petty)
She Loves Him Still
All The Beautiful Worlds
Mistaken Love
My Heart

Another idea - Stevie mentioned in the "Ask Stevie" answers that she would like to see remastered special editions of Bella Donna, The Wild Heart, etc. put out possibly next year... I would love for demos like The Dealer and Julia and Belle Fleur to be included. Casual fans (and the mass market) could then get some history of these demos as they hear them, as well as some new versions, for the first time. For example, Planets Of The Universe, from TISL and Rumours Remastered. Wouldn't this rock everybody and everything?!

The Stevie demos that ended up on the remasters were all for songs that ended up officially released on albums. Stevie has said she doesn't like people to hear her stuff until it's done, so I think the reason we got to hear these early gems is that we've already heard the official releases. This leads me to believe that there's still a chance that other demos may still be reworked & put out on a brand new album. I'd prefer it that way. THEN after her new album comes out, she can go ahead & put the demos out on some remasters!

I just think that if she puts the demos on the remasters first, there'll be no hope of new versions of those demos ending up on a new album - it'd be like she's giving up on them or something. JMO.

How can I possibly forget Chanel, Chanel?!? I am so in love with that demo. I just wish her lyrics were slightly more audible but I think if she went into the studio and recorded that it would be AMAZING

Those are both very poetic and very grammatically correct AND all three are beautiful to me and apparently alot of other people.

GROWL - it is like 6:30 a.m. and I have been at work for an hour - so I am a little grumpy

Ahh Jason...see...you can think outside of the box Without sitting here and speculating who it's about (*ahem ahem* Lindsey ), I think it truly is a beautiful song that seems to be coming from her heart (pardon the pun) and apparently means a lot to her. So, with that having been said, regardless of whether or not she chose to put the metaphor into the song backwards or if it was a mistake, she didn't just sit down and write just to write...the Stevie we know writes for a reason--perhaps to her it did make sense (and what you're saying certainly makes sense) and I think it can mean something to others who were perhaps in a similar situation that she found herself in.

I think Stevie's next album should be a mystical, magickal album, filled with faerie-dust, unicorns & ghostly stars & bells. I would call it "Shadow Light Chiffon."

Speaking of what theme she should do next for the solo CD. What are your thoughts?

Stevies next CD is going to be nothing but INCREDIBLE ....she has raised the bar w/ TISL and esp since this may be close to her last solo disc!!!
So my votes for unreleased demo considerations for her next disc are:

*Forest Of The Black Roses!!!!!.... and she walks into.......Beautiful Superb...its a crime its never been developed into a masterpiece like POTU!

*She Loves Him Still (the spoken word part..slays me everytime)
*All The Beautiful Worlds (could be great w/ a modern arrangement.)
*Joan Of Arc (another unreleased WTFWTT(what the **** were they thinking,,,not finishing this...could've been up there w/ Doing the best that I can.
*Chanel Chanel
*City Of Hope
*Christian (Spinning Wheels)
*The Dealer w/Tom Petty ( a great idea)
AND.......
*SPACE NEEDLE!!


as much as I like "My Heart"...Im suprised so many of you are wanting a new version.. since we now have a 99% complete version ..Yeah its good, and it should have replaced "That Made Me Stronger"-ultimatley on TISL, but I personally could live without it on a new solo disc!..replace it w/ something far superior from the vault or a new masterpiece!

thats my 2 cents!!

[Hawkeye]

I think she should use Mistaken Love, Space Needle, and All the Beautiful Worlds. Baby Doll and IYWML are my 2 favorite demos, but I somehpow think they just work better as demos.

My Heart
Space Needle

Without You with Special guest appearance by Lindsey Buckingham. I am really curious to see how this song sounds with their more mature voices. I think it would be fantastic and obviously have a grittier sound then the demo. Sadly though, I think Stevie has forgotten about a lot of these songs that we love. I hope she hasn't forgotten about this one- it needs to see the light of day!
