"I Don't Care" Preview

[HoursAndHours]

It makes perfect sense in the context of an open relationship. Go see whoever you want, f@c& whoever you want, but you only get be in love with me... After Stevie's storied history, I can certainly see her being in just such a scenario with someone.

Thanks! Always glad to make someone smile.

I just care of the hard work I've owed you anywhere

now THAT'S a tortured lyric (ie a real stretch to make sense of it) even for Stevie.

But I can see this being a song about Joe.

She sings the next line...

"I don't care what you said..."

(still bobbing the head and groovin' and waiting for a good line and word that rhymes with "do")

and then she sings...

"I just care that you love me!!!"

HUH? (double take) Well...THAT was a bit unexpected.

Anyone else put off by this, just a little bit? Like I said before, it's only 15 seconds of a sample, and I'm sure there is a hell of a lot more going on in this song (as evidenced by Dave Stewart's FIRST video snippit many months ago) but I just found it odd that they decided to post this portion of the song.

I can't say I'm that surprised by this. Stevie's songwriting technique knows no bounds. She changes tenses often (as Lindsey tried to point out in the Destiny Rules DVD), she rhymes him with him and me with me...not exactly the best songwriting skills. And sometimes her "he says" and "she says" constantly can grate my nerves. All in all though, we know she can write some killer tunes!

Why is it
I'm the one
Who is always cleaning up your mess
I Don't Care
Where you hide
I Don't Care
Where you go
I Don't Care
What you do
I Don't Care
What you said
I just care that you love me

Your in trouble again
For the wrong things
I didn't know her
I didn't know you
There she goes again
Ooh, she says
"Do you think that this could be one?"

Cause' I don't really care unless you love me

I just care of the hard work I've owed you anywhere
What would my life be without you in it
(Each others broken, lost outside of this)
I Don't Care!

You don't even have to believe
Just open your eyes and baby you'll see
I Don't Care!
I Don't Care!
I Don't Care

I Don't Care
Where you go
I Don't Care
What you say
I Don't Care
What you do
I Don't Care
What you want
I just care that you love me
And don't tell me anything else
Just tell me that you need me

Baby!
I just care of the hard work I've owed you anywhere
What would my life be without you in it
(Each others broken, lost outside of this)
I Don't Care!

You don't even have to believe
Just remember what you said to me
Long ago, baby
And don't tell me anything else
Just tell me that you need me
And anything else...
I Don't Care.......

If this is legit, it shares a few lyrics with the "Priest of Nothing" demo we have.

Hard to know. Might have been at one time; might be made up by someone.

Doesn't match the bit on Dave's clip:

I don't care
I would follow you anywhere
What would my life
be without you in it?
Jealous, broken
(dark?)and silent
I don't care!

Look, nobody can make out exactly what shes singing in Dave's clip. The quality is horrendous it was recorded over a phone, then put on a laptop and recorded over a phone again. If this is the right lyrics for I Don't Care then it is not the worst stevie's ever written but it's still bad

Yes, the "He says, She says" are one of the weaknesses in her writing. And she too often emphasizes and reminds us to "remember."

[markolas]

Now y'all stop that. Ivory Keys says that we hate Stevie and think she's talentless and worthless. We should say ONLY positive things about Stevie!!!!!!

[sorcerer999]

Yeah, well...MOST of the folks over at Ivory Keys have the brain power equivalent to that of a goldfish...or a ladybug. They love EVERYTHING Stevie does. They think every song she writes is stellar. They praise the subpar and the atrocious. They're incapable of any "critical thought or analysis". Top 40 is right up their alley.

...but I digress...

Im SOOO glad you said this! I made the comment that IYD was not my fav album and had my comment removed and told only to say nice things! Needless to say, I left that group faster than Fireflies!

Well, I (usually) love the atrocious stuff too, but that doesn't mean I can't call it what it is.

[Macfanforever]

I dont care either.LOL.

Song with an attitude.She wants to get her point across.


I couldn't get much out of the quick clip but I would like to hear the complete tune soon.

What vintage is this song and which album it supposed to go on and who she's pissed at.I forgot the info and absent on the day at SN101 class.
