Thanks!!! That was quite a day/time in my life for sure LOL.

Oh Well, that which does not kill us makes us stronger I guess.

I think everyone here should take a stab at the recordings!!!!

and - your Are You Mine is GREAT!

That's beautiful, and a great surprise! I had no idea what the song was, until you started singing, and I remembered the story of Stevie singing with her grandfather. I think it is very freeing to sing your own harmonies, like having a built in family band with those great blood-harmonies!

About "I Don't Want To Know", I think we might have actually talked about "Second-Hand News" but then I got carried away and made myself into a choir with all my backing harmonies. I think I can only add the lower part to
"I Don't Want To Know" if you put the melody down first. I will listen to the original and see if I can put mine down first, but my sense is that I need to hear yours.

Here is a re-post of my Dreams I had fun doing the harmonies on that.

I like that a couple of you have posted unaccompanied songs, and I think I might do that next (for this thread) since I have no other tracks to sing to, for little while.

so the landslide, edge, and GDW are a couple bootlegs of the 2001 nicks/mac tribute my band did - listening to them now it sounds to me like someone slipped just a small dose of ludes in our beers or something on that night,they just sound a bit slower than i think we really do them at - and the landslide as well - -

i am reposting our rock out version of I Miss You Now on here that i posted on the gold dust project 2 thread as well - the I miss you now was recorded sometime about 3 years ago -

I miss you now =

this was my original post about i miss you now from the other thread:

wow everyone - these are all really fun -
i don't have the backing tracks that folks have - but i do have a song or two from a bootleg recording of a live show by my band -
don't know if it fits in here but hope you don't mind if i post it anyway -

it is "i miss you now" from tisl - and as you hear it's a bit different of a song in our hands - lol -

i used to skip over this song all the time when i got tisl -
it was just to sleepy and lullabye - but i would catch my self singing the words to myself alot
then one day i was plunkin on my guitar to a song that was playing from my random play function on my mp3 player - and when it was over "i miss you now" came on and i just kept pluckin along to it too -
then over the next two hours it developed into the version that you hear - then i brought it to the band and tah dah - this was us playing it live in portland oregon about three weeks after we learned it

im nervous but here ya go :
thanks for listening

can't wait to download!

ok, here's my recordings from this morning session. it's a zip file, hope that works for everyone. there are 6 tracks total. and thank bejeezus yousendit likes me again. it's going super fast.

http://download.yousendit.com/03B803EF2C27ABA1

here's what's inside the zip:

Insider - not complete...it's the lead track for the Gold Dust Project. Carrie still needs to add her harmonies, etc. to it.

Beautiful Child - not complete...it's the lead track for the Gold Dust Project. Barbara still needs to add her harmonies, etc. to it. I had to post this one especially for Niki since she requested it.

If You Were My Love - this is just me playing around with the chords trying to figure them out.

Mystical Love - I love this song and it's so fun to play...and I love any song that has the words "honey dream"

Mistaken Love - easily Stevie's best demo. I love the progression of the song. again, I'm just playing with the chords.

Edge of Seventeen snippet - after hearing nix4life's version of I Miss You I started wondering what it would be like if one of Stevie's best rock songs were a ballad. so, that's what I tried to do. I wasn't very successful because after singing that rock melody for 10 years it creeped in. but anywho, it was fun.

sweet jesus, I'm relistening again and I really sound like I'm screeching - totally a little sharp. ok, a lot sharp. we'll chalk this one up to a fun experiment. oh, and don't ask me why, but the whole track is 6 mins, but the song doesn't start until 3 mins in. weird.

I'm not used to this version so of course I f*up the lyrics, but it's the only version I could get to load into Garageband.

ysi is being a whore for me right now, so i'll try to dl again in a bit ... gdi ysi!

JazmenFlowers · #88 11-10-2006, 10:40 PM

YSI and I had a falling out for 6 months or more. hence why I used to use MegaUpload all the time. I hope it works for you soon!

here's the 10.21 stuff. the one I'm really, super proud of is Beautiful Child.

ok, ysi is working for me again ... dunno what the problem was earlier. i broke up with YSI for a while too, but i shacked up with sendspace.

listening to shine right now ... i'm really impressed that you can hit those high notes at the end. i can't, and it's really frustrating, because y'know ... bitch likes to sing!

you have such a powerful voice, it's definitely well suited for cyndi's anthems.

i wanna hear you do sisters of avalon!
