hehehehe.
actually, I didn't get any of her solo albums till last year. (Except SA and Timespace and Enchanted). It's interesting to come to it at this advanced age. I have a much different perspective, I think. In fact, I didn't even get all the Mac albums until the past couple years. (Ok, mainly Tusk and Mirage). It's pretty neat, actually. And, uh, aren't I only, like, eight years younger than you???

I checked your profile, 10 years.

Outside the Rain is just drab and drab can be when performed live.

Personally, I think the lyrics are pure brilliance and lyrically it is easily one of the top five best songs she has ever written.

Bella Donna was one of the cds i purchased the day after christmas in 1993 when i got my first discman, yep i bought it right along with Ace of Base. don't judge. anyways, BD was my mom's favorite album so i already knew it by heart, but somehow listening to it on my headset was just magical. i still love it, though it doesn't get nearly as much play as it used to. it's a mood album for me; rainy days are the best. SDMHA is the only song i skip. i wish i had new albums to savor. the occasional demo that pops up just isn't the same as a whole body of work...

I'll have to give that a try - never thought of it for some reason!
( I just have an old, cheap cassette, & no earphones w/ the cassette
player. ) Time to run out and buy the cd!
OH well - I wish I had seen the sign earlier!

Sorry - dense moment happening here. Is there a connection between Beautiful Child and Don Henley?? I love BC - it's in my Top 5 - but I didn't think Henley had anything to do with it?

yes I think in 1984 when the cd's were introduced, I love the Belladonna LP and all songs on it too ,Hahaha and most of them sound alittle country influenced too.and I got my LP copy in 1981. CD copy I don't remember at this time.but around in 1986 or 1987 because cd players were so expensive at the time.Technically speaking, Ya I agree on remastering anything right up to 1990, anything before 1990 sounds like crap on cd.because its a copy of the master tape, along with the tape hiss,and other sound problems on it.it's like me now taking my cassette copy of Belladonna which is over 23 years old now, and well worned out too, and running it thru the computer without dolby switch on and without equalization, and burning it to cdr. ya I know, it will sound like sh2t.
So I hope Stevie will remaster her catalog.

There's speculation that it was about - uhmmmm -
an experience the two of them shared.
If you know what I mean, well there ya go -
if you don't - don't ask. Trust me - don't ask.
And please, let's leave it there. It's between them, imo.
Besides I'm sure it's already been discussed, add nausea.

"What dirty tricks the mind can play
In the lonely dead of night
When you bump into the shadow
Of a faded love that wasn’t right

Way down beneath the surface
Far beyond the light of day
So many things lie buried deep
And baby, they should stay that way."

Do you mean by Carly Simon? I LOVE that!

"Voulez-vous Danser;
Voulez-vous Danser;
everybody wants to dance . . .
with my Daddy. . . "

yeah - wow.

Whether that was intentional or not, that's really funny. I think I like that better than the Latin.

It was released on CD in 1990, along with TWH and RAL.

I did not care for Bella Donna that much when it was released in 1981. I thought that the songs were a bit depressing. My favs were Outside The Rain, How Still My Love and Edge of 17 and they still are.
