American Horror Story: Seven Wonders

Japhry · #1 02-03-2014, 12:18 AM

I wonder what the general Ledgie opnion of this is. I personally was thrilled to see Stevie give Seven Wonders the time of day again on AHS (albeit not a new recording). It seems like she has very rarely acknowledged this gem in the last 26 years or so since the Shake the Cage Tour. I wonder if there is any hope of her rehearsing this for the upcoming FM tour with Christine? What do you guys think?

I doubt it although who knows

since she now apparently believes that she wrote the song.

I hope this is the case because it has always been one of my faves. However, I suspect she believes she can't sing it anymore or is afraid to like Talk To Me.

I've been wondering this as well. I think this song could be changed to lower the key in which Stevie sings it. I honestly would not be surprised if it's the latest Stevie song to be resurrected. After all, American Horror appears to have generated a large amount of interest in it.

Something else that has occurred to me about Seven Wonders: was it the last song Stevie recorded while she was on coke? The vocal certainly points to that. And we know she started recording the album then went into rehab... and when she came out, was dissatisfied about the lack of presence she had on Tango.

Yep Seven Wonders was recorded the weekend after Halloween in 1986 just before she went into Betty Ford.

She could absolutely still sing this song in the key they did on the Tango tour...I have a feeling it will be brought back for the summer tour, after all...who thought we would ever hear Storms live?!?!?

What's this in reference to?

I'd love to hear her reintroduce this song on tour. I thought the fact that she didn't record a new vocal for AHS didn't bode well, but maybe the renewed public interest in the song will be brought to the bands attention come rehearsal time and things will change.

Maybe. But realistically I think we're not going to see any changes to Stevie's set beyond subtractions to accommodate for Christine's presence.

I agree. Stevie has brought out forgotten Mac songs every time the band has toured for the past 11 years. After American Horror, this seems like the logical next song to get dusted off. Straight Back would be cool, too.

Right? Or Beautiful Child. And at one point we thought she'd never perform Sara or Sisters Of The Moon ever again, either.

She said in an interview that she told Ryan Murphy she had written a song about the Seven Wonders. Obviously, Sandy Stewart wrote Seven Wonders... not Stevie.

I don't think the lack of new vocal on AHS means a thing.

I also don't believe just because Chris is returning, that Stevie's set will stay static, either. She certainly has setlist mainstays- but her setlist is never identical tour to tour. After all, we may get to hear new songs from the 3 writers since they're supposed to be going into the studio next month.

I thought she just said she "had" a song by that name. Or maybe we're thinking of different interviews? Anyone have a link? I'm not doubting you, just genuinely curious.

I'm looking at The Dance setlist and there does seem to be a little more wiggle room in her set than I was thinking. But still, it pays to be a Debbie Downer sometimes.

I'll just wait and see, and not hold my breath.

I was genuinely shocked when I heard the opening notes of "SW" on the AHS finale! I think it's another example of how her resurgence has made her more open to trying new things. 6 months ago I'd have laughed at the idea of her even acknowledging the songs existence, let alone "performing" it on a hit TV series!

Count me in as cautiously optimistic about it showing up on the setlist. I think she's totally capable of it vocally, though I see Christine & The Girls helping out a lot.

I really don't know why people took that comment or the comment about her and Lindsey working on a song as literally as they did.

It seemed pretty clear to me when I read it that the comment was about Seven Wonders -- and I don't think she thinks she wrote it. Ryan may think she wrote it, because he's not fussed about those kinds of details.

Yep, that's what she said!

As for Sandy.......I'm betting she's VERY glad she let Paul Fishkin talk her into letting Fleetwood Mac keep the track after Stevie.......reworked it, shall we say?

Does Sandy still hold the copyright??? Or did she get hard up for cash and sell it???

michelej1 · #14 02-03-2014, 03:30 PM

What Ryan said was that Stevie said she WROTE the song. But Ryan wasn't trying to recount word for word what Stevie said. He paraphrased based on what he remembered. This is just like people thinking that Stevie and Lindsey were working on a new song for AHS. That should hardly have been assumed from the vague wording in the magazine articles.

We have a hard enough time taking out the tea leaves and working with actual quotes from the band members. Trying to divine what they said based on something someone else says they said is nigh impossible.

You had mentioned that you wanted Stevie Nicks to come back. Is that gonna happen?

We have Stevie for another. Stevie will be in episode 10 and then we have Stevie for another one, doing an idea that she came up with that I thought was too perfect to say no to. Hilariously, Stevie read some of the scripts and called up and said “Are you aware that one of the things you’re doing I actually wrote a song about?” I’m like, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Then I remembered the song. We have something cool that was her idea.

I believe Sandy was given the choice of... A) Keep quiet about the changes and let FM put 7W on the record and make a lot of money OR B) She could put 7W on her next solo record...
