"Prettiest girl in the world"

[Davictoes]

Hi everyone
So after listening to this song for some time, and it really started allude me for some reason. I really like the sound of it. So I decided to do some research on it.

So after searching for about a minute, I found out that it's an OSOTM reject, and that she explains a bit of the song's origin in an interview.


She pulls a face and laughs. 'I wrote a song once called The Prettiest Girl in the World, and that was a long time ago. But when you've been
the prettiest girl in the world - and I don't mean the most beautiful girl; I just mean a really pretty girl, a really talented girl, a girl who writes really good songs.
When you've been all that and you're a lot older, it is hard. You see the lines' - Nicks runs her fingers along the thickening curve of her jaw - 'and you start to
see this happening; and even though I'm thinner than I was a long time ago, you see your body changing and you go, well maybe this is not age-appropriate
and I shouldn't wear the chiffon scarf any more; and then you go, but if I'm going to change the whole thing it's not me any more.' She shakes the thought to one side.
'I'm just terribly excited to get into my rock'n'roll penthouse and out of here. I feel old here."


I'm guessing this song was made in the after math of "Rock A Little", its definitely gots the sound of it. Honestly I think she could of throw this on Street Angel
and gave it the Bob Dylan treatment. It would of sounded fantastic. Sadly it doesn't seem like she cares for it anymore. What do you think of the song?


Do you agree with my opinion? What do you think should be done with it?
Should Stevie put on her next album? What do you speculate it's about?

Am I the only one who thinks of this line every time I look at a wired coat hanger?

I really like this demo, especially the part where she sings passionately, "You don't know what pain is, baby! Don't talk to me about it!" My speculation is on my site; unsurprisingly, I think it is about her relationship with Lindsey. I hadn't seen that quote before, though. Interesting!

I have the same thing so no, you're not the only one

Oh, no! I also have the same thought!

I think the song is about Joe Walsh. Personally I don't like it much, it's boring.
