Lindsey's discussion of Storms reminded me of the recent article where Christine was trying to come up with some material and Lindsey said "just write about sex".

I've never thought the line "every night that goes between" in particular the "goes between" as being anything sexual….but he sure seems to think so

I did really like how he described her vocal and how he wanted to arrange the song around it to support the notion of it being like a whisper between two people. He clearly seems to think it's about him.

Thanks Elle.I try to catch the show when it airs with the tunes.

wonder when Lindsey portions of the interview were recorded... he talks about his time back in FM after leaving, that they've done a live album and a studio album since, but that he still didn't feel like he was really completely back in the band unconditionally... so maybe some time after SYW?

"what did you loose by leaving the band in 1987?"
"a whole lot of income probably"

does this mean our speculation about his motivations for doing the recent and upcoming tours (ka-ching) is spot on??

definitely sounds like his current voice. and he talks about them having done an album and (at least) one tour up to the point of his interview.

I like how they got him talking about his production goals for songs… except they really mostly asked about Stevie's songs, not his (except for a bit about the song Tusk). But the album Tusk is just raw with his emotions (both hurt and angry) and they didn't touch on any of that at all.

I haven't listened yet but I assume it's from 2009 (2008 interview or a bit earlier, though) as that's when the 30th anniversary interview aired and that was new from Lindsey, and the portion described above regarding Storms was part of that.

That's really interesting because I've loved the Storms song for so long and I've always interpreted the "goes between" phrase as "being apart" from the other person. It always sounded to me like a love affair that had already ended. I recall Stevie saying this song was about Mick, but I think that was a fairly recent comment, perhaps after this interview was taped.

I also liked Lindsey's comments about letting the vocal and supporting production feel like the song was a whisper. I thought that was really lovely. It supported my long-held view that Lindsey nailed the production on Stevie's songs on Tusk.

Thank you very much for posting this. I've not heard this interview and was really moved by some of the comments from both Lindsey and Stevie.

When I attended her OSOTM show, I was quite happy that Rhiannon wasn't in the set, and she let the song rest. It was not missed. No song "has to be" in any set. I was happy that she performed a respectable amount of new songs in the set - almost half of the album - Rooms on Fire, Two Kinds of Love, Whole Lot of Trouble, Juliet and Alice.

If an artist has any faith in their work, there should at least 5 to 6 songs in the set of the tour promoting their album.The show doesn't to be glutted with greatest hits list. A mix of signature songs & hits, deep tracks, and new songs keeps a set list fresh and uniquei.

I don't think the absence of Rhiannon spoiled the party for anyone.

This is a rip of the audio from the link Elle shared of the Tusk segment, by the way: http://www.mediafire.com/download/15...mber_2014).mp3

And these are my two favourite lengthy parts - from Lindsey and from Stevie, respectively. Excuse any errors; it was a quickly done transcription and I haven't checked it.

LINDSEY ON STORMS
R: What kind of presentation did this song demand when she brought this in?
Well, again, we wanted to, um, if we had done that in a conventional way it would’ve come off like a country song, probably. A little bit. And we wanted to pull everything back. You know, it’s like her vocal. She gets to a place where she’s kinda, y’know, right in here like she’s talking to someone up close and some of the time she’s - little, little fear and certainly pain is come out but like this and everything around it must hold that kind of line. It’s a completely tactile experience, that song, you know. And, uh, you know, the piano is played as lightly as - Christine just did a superb job. It’s a whisper, that song. And it - it’s one of my favorite things on Tusk. By far.
R: Oh, man.
Well, you know, she’s -
R: I’ve never heard her that honest on a microphone.
It’s such a vulnerable thing she’s allowing herself to be in that moment because -
R: You captured one there. That’s amazing.
And it’s ironic, you know. She’s at a point where she’s probably at the height of her visibility and she’s probably thinking back to a few years earlier and how that, the scale of that visibility and the choices she’s made has put her in a position where she’s really lost touch with a fundamental importance and, uh, you know, ‘every night that goes between I feel a little less’, you know, ‘goes between’. I mean, that’s, you know, a very, uh, suggestive line and a pretty major thing to say.

STEVIE ON ARGUMENTS AND APOLOGIES
It’s very hard to get up and walk out of a room instead of turning around and saying “Well, if you really want to know how I feel, you know, let me, I’ve got a list, let me go get it.” You know. “And let’s just sit here for two or three hours”. And the next day, you’re so sorry. Because, really, half of it was totally ridiculous anyway and you could’ve just been having a bad day. An unfortunate thing that happened, you know, with me and Lindsey was, when the band broke up, was that Lindsey and I said things to each other that I wish we had never said. That are etched on both of our hearts in stone. And because of that we can never, ever be anything to each other again, ever. That was a very big lesson for me to learn and I’m, I’m very sorry for the things that I said to him. And I know he’s very sorry for the things he said to me. Because, you know, we went through too much and we lived together and we loved too much and we meant too much to each other for those words to be said. And they were said and they can never be taken back.

Wow good job, Nicole.

I love this part (bolded) coz his voice mimics the low, kind of hoarse quality of her voice on the song and by the time he talks about Christine's part he is very very whispery….acting out how he thought the song was/should be.

that's exactly how I always heard it as well. I wouldn't take Lindsey's interpretation of it as gospel regarding what Stevie means by it, but it is and interesting insight into his psyche

I didn't get the sense that Lindsey feels that line is sexually suggestive -- but, rather, suggestive of Stevie's state of mind at the time & her conflictions. Hence his reference to her being at the height of her fame/visibility and thinking over some of the choices she'd made and "fundamental" things she'd lost touch with.

Yes - I absolutely agree.

I just listened to it again, and I gotta go with "suggestive" as sexual, especially the way he says it, his intonation and all.

Even if he didn't mean sexual, I'm still not at all clear why he thinks the two words "goes between" are,as he says, "pretty suggestive" and "a major thing to say". Really? "goes between"??

I agree he feels the overall song is about her reflecting on choices she's made and maybe having some regrets about ending their relationship or at least how it ended.

But it still leaves his fascination with the actual words "goes between" hard to understand.
