Why did Stevie re record Twister?

[Nick]

Watch there be another version and be one of Stevie's "new" contributions to the next Fleetwood Mac album. LOL.

And then in the greatest irony of all, she only released it on the deluxe version of 24KG!

I love the version with Lindsey and was beyond excited to get it at a time when there was no FM. I practically pulled my hair out over it. BUT I like the 24K version quite a bit too. I think the 24K version is kind of sultry.

Michele

agreed.

But the LB version of Twister is the best of the produced versions, hands down. His playing makes it.

I like her songwriting demo as well.

To me the version with Lindsey is perfect.

I don't like the TISL versions of Candlebright and Sorcerer as much as the Buckingham Nicks demos either - even though they are only demos I prefer to listen to them. If only they had been finished songs

"‘Twisted’ was written in 1995 for a movie called ‘Twister’ and I was actually approached to write it for this movie. So I kinda, uh, I went and saw the movie without any music in it and really, uh, you know, got the gist of what these crazy people do when they follow these tornadoes around in cars and, um, are almost killed, and why they do it is to protect us and to be able, you know, warn the, uh, American public or wherever that there’s a tornado coming. And, um, so, it was pretty, you know, pretty violent and scary and so I went and I wrote this song called ‘Twisted’ and, um, uh, I recorded it with Lindsey for the movie and, uh, we did a, uh, you know, we did a movie version of this song. And, um, years and years later - like a couple of months ago - I was listening to, uh, some demos and the ‘Twister’ demo that I had originally made in my house in Phoenix, um, came on and at first I didn’t recognize it because it’s very, very different than the version that went in the movie. And I just went like, I just love this song and I think song deserves another chance because I think any song that goes into a movie - unless it’s a huge, you know, unless it’s like a, you know, Terminator movie or something - is gonna be heard, seen for a second and never thought of again. So I thought this song deserves to be re—recorded and re-done and so I just decided that it should be on this record. So I took it with me to Nashville and, of course, they did it exactly like my demo which I loved because that’s the way I really always wanted it to be, anyway. And it’s, you know, it’s not just a song about tornadoes; it’s a song about when a man or a woman comes into your life and they are a tornado and they almost just wipe you out and, uh, so it’s, it is a love song. And it’s kind of a crazy love song and, um, I’m very proud of it because it is so much what I always wanted it to be and I hope everybody, you know, everybody has their ‘She Loves Him Still’ and everybody has their tornado. So, this is for all the tornadoes in peoples’ lives that are actually human."

Actually I forgot about this song these last months but now that I remember I have to say that I have always liked more the 24K Gold version of it.
The movie version has a sound that is too much late 90s, with that adult contemporary vibe.

[Artemis]

I love the song, so I just think it's great that we get two pretty awesome versions of it. I appreciate the Stevie/Lindsey version for leading to The Dance and I think the 24KG version is beautifully sung.

this is an interesting quote... I saw another interview of hers where she said she got the script and read it, and then says, well my ASSISTANT read it and then told me the gist of it... Then she said she figured out the way she could relate to it was that it was about people whose job got in the way of their personal relationships.

Maybe she saw it before any music soundtrack was done also, but I totally am buying that she made Karen read the script and summarize it for her.

[annabellee]

Don't forget the Enchanted version! We have three AWESOME versions of this song. <3 <3 <3

I agree. When I was it was going to be on 24K I thought they might do it up like the live version with that amazing intro and the keyboards and all that. That live version is so epic but none of the recordings of it are very clean or sound that great. Its such a shame because it's such a great arrangement of that song.

If I were Karen, I'd just fake half the stuff Stevie told me to do and pretend I'd done it. "Oh, yeah it's all about a giant tornado, totally wrecks this trailer park where star crossed lovers were employed as the groundskeepers."

So in the interview she basically says that the 24k version is how she always envisioned it to be. You know , not like when that evil Lindsey get's a hold of it. Ha. I think she thinks all of her songs should be just like her demos. Perfect. I've got news for you Stevie, you should be thanking Lindsey for what he's done to many of your songs. The last couple of years she is really eroding the love I used to have for her. ugh.

[jcalzaretta]

I love the 24 Karat Gold version and the version with Lindsey. Both are amazing in their own way.

[Jondalar]

The version on 24 Karat Gold is the best version. Lindsey's was the weakest version.

[elle]

i love Twisted from the soundtrack. the interplay of Lindsey's and Stevie's voice there is pretty divine, one of their best imo.

i tried to listen to Stevie solo versions of Twisted since i loved the soundtrack version so much, and was unpleasantly surprised, to my ears they sound completely bland and uninteresting.
