Demos that deserve to be recorded now

[sodascouts]

When I transcribed "Blue Water" a million years ago for BuckinghamNicks.net, here's what I heard:

http://www.buckinghamnicks.net/sn/un...bluewater.html

Blue water
I sit and I wait for the morning to come
Blue water
And I wait for the sound of my gypsy

Blue water
I sit out at night
Hidden out of sight
Blue water
Blue water

And I stare at the sea
And the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as moving as a lover

I can't give up the night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to sail the sea
I'd like to take you on a slow ride

I won't give up the night
High tide
I'd like to sail the sea
I'd like to take you on a...slow ride
Slow ride
Slow ride

Blue water
I sit and I wait for the morning to come
Blue water
And I wait for the sound
Blue water
I sit out at night
Hidden out of sight
Blue water
And I wait for the sound
Wait for the sound

And I smile at the sea
And the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as moving as a lover

I can't give up the night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to sail the sea
I'd like to take you on slow ride
A slow ride

I won't give up the night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to be your friend
I'd love to love you 'til the end
'Til the end

Blue water
I sit and I wait for the morning to come
Blue water
And I wait for the sound of my gypsy
Blue water
I sit out at night
Hidden out of sight
Blue water
Blue water

And I smile at the sea
And then the sea smiles for me
And the sea is as moving as a lover
A lover

I can't give up the night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to sail the sea
I'd like to take you on a slow ride

I can't give up the night
I'm in high tide
I'd like to be your friend
I'd like to love you 'til the end

Blue water
I sit and I wait for the morning to come

Now if this CD has a lyric booklet with it, I'll probably have some revising to do! lol

Your site may have been the one where I read the lyrics years ago to Belle Flower.
Those lyrics said:
Men and women
Living in a canyon
Indian dancing
All night long

I hear:
Men and women
Living in a canyon
Canyon dancing
All night long

[sodascouts]

No, I also hear "canyon dancing."

LOL, What does a mountain woman do for a living besides dance?

I'm kind of baffled to learn blue water is her most popular demo ever at least going by views. And it also seems to e a few people here's favorite. It's a very bland song to my ears. I've always heard it was up there as far as being a fan favorite, so id try o listen to it every couple of months but could never get thru the damned song. I finally finished it yesterday upon learning it's her most viewed demo. Still not a fan but I can see its potential finally and found the slow ride hook stuck in my head.

This song and most of these damned demos can use dave Stewart's treatment of secret love and Annabel lee. The only ballad type demo I think needs to remain a simple ballad is forsaken love. That needs to stay true to the demo and shoul close Stevie's solo shows from now until retirement.
