Yes! That part gives me chills everytime I watch/hear it.

Two of my all-time favorite Stevie snippets are the "oooh's and aaaahs" at the beginning of "Blue Lamp" and the end when she sings a string of "and the stars still laugh and cry and shine and the stars still laugh and cry and shine etc..."

and who can forget the gutteral cat-like wail in the middle of EO17? Arguably the most well-known solo Stevie snippet.

"As the moon goes over the mountain and you are lost in your dreaming. Where is the wild white rose? Ooooooo ahhh my hand reached for numbers....for someone that could tell me....ohhh if you were my love, you were my love." If You Were My Love

"No speed limit, this is the fast laaaane! That's just the waaaaay thaaat it is heeaaahhhhh!" Bella Donna

"So i'm back to the velveeeeeeeeetaaaauuuuunderground back to the floor that I love. To a room with some lace and paper flowers, back to the gypsy that waaaassss, to the gypsy, that I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasss." Gypsy


"Maybe you attention was more than I could...more than I could do" Stand Back SNL 1983 Live Always loved that performance!


"The timeless face of a rock and roll women while her heart breaks...oh, the dream keeps coming even when you forget to feel" After the Glitter Fades

and many more!

What jumped out in my mind immediately when I read this was the entire ending of 'Storms.'

"We were frail~
She said every night he will break your heart...
I should have known from the first~
I'd be the broken hearted...
I loved you from the start..."

And then the part that gets me every time:

"Save us~
And not all of the prayers in the world...
Could save us..."

So Sad!

Ya, I LOVE Blue Lamp too, but I don't like how at the end it gets going really strong "....the light that I caried from my father's home...." and then it fades out. Is there an extended version of that song?

I think it's "mother's home"--but I love that song too!

I even bought a blue lamp after I first heard that song!

I agree! One of my favorites of Stevie's for sure!

I love the "Was it all that hard....was it all that tough...." part in Talk to me...

And in Thousand days the spoken part which goes into the "whyyyy does the greatest love become the greatest paiiiin...." love that whole part....

There are tons, many of which are already mentioned above, that I just love!!!

[darklinensuit]

Really, I could pick at least one from every song. Here are a few that come to mind.

WH: "Fire on fire, rain on my face" (I picture the shot of her in the black dress in the Gypsy video)

RTTG: "Runnin' through the garden/I'm running in brilliant colors" (I'm not kidding I almost typed "I'm running in all black fabrics" just now. Damned song parodies!)

The Dealer: "I would be the passion/You could be the play"

LFTM: "And maybe, if that woman could make you crazy/Did she call out/Did she say please save me tonight...tonight...tonight"

Nightbird: "DO-do-do DO-do-do"

The Highwayman: "Today and still today they ride/Will they ever win"

Blue Lamp: "And the light that shines through the shining night"


Sanctuary: "MmmMmmm...mine alone"

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

SOTM: "And a black widow spider makes more sou-ound than she"

Garbo: " I love to waltz with a man in a __________/All alone at a party with someone I knew/From a time gone by, turned to stone"

- Jake

[Mad4stevie]

". . . Well, I've got all these things
All these things
But a small gold band
On my finger
On my left hand"

So ironic that Stevie wrote "Rose Garden" in 1965 - it now seems so sad.

[DrummerDeanna]

Oooh..I just remember one of my absolute favorites!!!

The part in Whole Lotta Trouble: "oh yeah.....oh yeah...not guilty have mercy....well he says you could be my prisoner...well you're not living in the real world....you're not living in the real world....."
OMG..I LOVE that!!!

[gldstwmn]

How about the way she sings the Marlene part in Garbo?
