Hmmmm.... that's odd. I coulda swore that this was a collaberation between her and David Kahne. It's his only deal on the album (why they included him in the picture and not Rick Nowels is beyond me) and I remember reading him in the credits...

Did she pull a fast one and change the songwriting credits like she did with "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?"

Well, if she did write the whole thing she should be ashamed of herself for putting that stinker in instead of the marvelous "Space Needle".

David Kahne produced the track... but Stevie was the songwriter.

She needed another uptempo, pop-rock song to round out the album.
I quite like "Love Changes." Love it, in fact.

"Space Needle" will have its day.

I think it would be producers' heaven if they could have writing credits just for changing the tempo, the instrumentation or adding riffs. In songs like Gypsy or Rhiannon the music and the lyrics were there. The version we prefer is another matter, IMO.
Or Stevie could just make the booklet a little more precise, like:
Through the Fears
Music and Lyrics by Stevie Nicks
And just above every song :
Lindsey's personal and definite contribution diary:
09/06/05
Lindsey told me to cut the third verse
09/9/05
He added violins and bongos
09/15/05
He created a (beautiful) guitar riff
09/17/05
I decided to put back the third verse and he stormed off
09/22/05
We called a truce. I Keep my third verse and he can add vocal effects

And so on for about 3 pages for every song...
