I agree. There was something about the tempo though, I felt that for the theme it slogged along. I would have liked to hear a more straight ahead rock treatment of this song and not the AC it turned out as. I also think radio should have played this more, it has some hooks but they just didn't give it the time of day.

It doesn't have the movement of the demo, and the drums never really push it along, which is pretty inexplicable, considering it's Mick playing on the full version and just a really basic pre-recorded drum loop playing on the demo. The Buckingham/Nicks harmonies aren't that tight either.

You're sound, thanks a million.

*listens...*

Hmm ... not what I expected, but worth listening to all the same. I agree about the harmonies, though, there's something amiss there.

Thanks, you're a pal!!

No way, Twister ruled, and it contains the greatest line in cinema history:

"They're just in it for the money, not the science!"

I was just kidding. Trying (and failing) to make a joke out of Stevie's quote of "rock stars are not nice." You, my friend, are a rock star. My joke is not funny.

And anyway.... enough chat about twisted!!

"writing from her heart" here, it's more like being told what they were
looking for and giving it to them, as per the "script" of the movie.
But I DO feel that there's more to it than initially meets the eye.

Newp. The song is my favorite and has deep meaning. Yea, she made her own life story fit into the Soundtrack but she referred to herself as a storm many years prior to writing Twisted. This song is all about Stevie and nothing about an actual tornado... Of course Stevie is just as happy having everyone think she crafted it around the script.
