It's so beautiful the way he gives the woman control of even the seasons in his life, the chill in his heart.

There's no fire burning, just a soul crying.

Which makes me think Lindsey knows those lyrics were about him when she wrote them. I mean, I can't see him answering her when they were about someone else.

Ha, let me reel you in! CADreaming posted MP3s in the April 22 thread in the Lindsey section. She also posted the lyrics that we could decipher so far.

Yes, but it's probably just my imagination that makes me think he's answering her lyrics. Also, he could be answering the OSOTM lyrics, rather than the newer ones.

Or maybe a combo of both? For what it's worth (ha), I don't think it's your imagination. At least not just yours anyway.

1. Secret Love - Probably not- If this were written recently, I would think it's about LB. The parts about 'can't leave you down here crying' etc., make me think of The Dance. They're trying again, K gets preggers, Stevie says that's it, over, LB at her house begging her to reconsider, both crying and torn over their 'dilemma'.
2. For What It's Worth - Beyond reasonable doubt, confirmed in my mind.
3. In Your Dreams - Beyond reasonable doubt
4. Wide Sargasso Sea - Definitely not- I know this is just a story about a story, but if anyone comes to mind, it's Mick. The obvious; he's an Englishman. "When he first saw her, he fainted to the floor" Mick wanted her from the start, even LB has said this. "We drew a line in the sand"; we can't keep doing this (having the affair) but they did. The rest of the song is angry. That makes me think about Mick dumping Stevie for Sara. I bet she was thinking, NO ONE dumps Stevie Nicks! She probably wanted to burn his house down.
5. New Orleans - Definitely not
6. Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream) - Confirmed
7. Annabel Lee - Definitely not
8. Soldier's Angel - Not about him, but she sure had him on her mind for recording it.
9. Everybody Loves You - Confirmed
10. Ghosts Are Gone - Beyond reasonable doubt
11. You May Be The One - Beyond reasonable doubt
12. Italian Summer - Possibly. Didn't they spend a month or so together in Italy in the last few years? I thought I heard that somewhere....
13. Cheaper Than Free - Probably not
I didn't get the disc with My Heart on it, but I've thought for years it was definitely, and obviously, about LB.

The fact is, to some people, being able to put a story to a song makes it resonate more. The feeling and emotion somehow enhance the audio experience. That's why Broadway tunes may sound hokey . . . until after you've seen them come alive in the context of the play.

If they know it's about a father who lost a child, it changes the way some people hear HAEWAFY. Strange but true.

If knowing things make some people more interested in the music, there's nothing that needs to be understood. That's just how people feel.

BRAVO

The MP3s came from video that Pattie posted on Youtube. You can see them that way if you search for LB at the Saban.

Hahaha! I love it. I can totally see her reacting that way, too

Wouldn't In Your Dreams be about Don Henley - didn't they have a conversation after 9/11 and the TISL tour where she didn't know if she should go on and he encouraged her to give people a distraction for just a little while. Doesn't the description talk about a friend who helped her through all that.
