I like, " Take no prisoners, only kill."

ha ha you crack me up about the beekeepers. that is crazy that the bees were trying to make a home under the flashing in your roof. good thing you got to them before they did. its funny i have this major fear of bees. when i was younger my friend and i used to catch them in glass bottles and then let them slowly die so i am convinced they are out to get me since they always seem to be following me! I know I was a strange kid back in the day.

i hate bees too! but here there are more wasps. hate them hate themm!! specially the ones with long legs IIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!
when I was a child I was so afraid that one day one landed on my arm and I got a histeria attack! I began to cry and scream, and my whole skin turned red and couldn't stop talking, I mumbled God knows what and finally mum put me in a cold shower.

Don't like peacekeeper very much. Thrown down is not a great song the way it was recorded in SYW, but has a great great great potencial, because is a very beautiful tune and the lyrics are daggers!!! I love it.

oh yeah i hate wasps too. they freak me out. your story kinda sounds like mine except I didnt turn red like that but I did freak out and my dad jumped down almost an entire flight of steps to find out what was going out cuz he thought somebody was hurting me. i think he wanted to smack me upside the head when he saw a wasp there staring at me, LOL! you know what i hate the most is those big bees that i call yellow jackets. damm bees!

yeah i hear ya bout peacekeeper. it doesnt really do much for me. the more i listen to this wall of sound version of thrown down the more i wish it was on syw than the one they used. i love the lyrics in this song as well. so damm good.

even if it's not that commercial

maybe we would have seen it on tour

or now we'll have to wait another 30 years for Stevie to decide to bring it out

I think it's a MUCH more commercial, "Fleetwood Mac"-y single than either "Peacekeeper" or "Say You Will!"
("Peacekeeper"??? My God, what were they thinking?!?!?)

You know a song is really hot when it's being used as background music and it STILL jumps out at you! That's what happened with "Thrown Down" when it was used on FRIENDS!

oh yeah i still remember that episode. it fit in perfectly with what was going on in the show and you are right it did jump out at you. i hear that song every so often in JC Penney when I am shopping and it just makes me so damm happy!

I got u.

that's one of the reasons I love the local radio station I work in. Sometimes, in the middle of the stress of writing news and cutting mini-discs, some FM song appears in the background, usually Little Lies or Hold Me or Everywhere, which really has a soothing effect on me.

so good to know i'm not the one who hates bees and wasps. YELLOW JACKETS was hillarious!!!

i don't know what happened with the production of SYW, but somebody forgot it is FM. please, where's the detail, the softness, the dreamy atmosphere?
I personally hate the guitar arpeggios all the time that lay in the whole song of TD. lindsey, that wasn't barroque, that was rococo. I don't like it at all, I think it is unnecesary and forced. Thats my opinion, and I hate to recognize it, because I usually say "amen" to whatever lindsey does.

oh ita
i meant THEY thought SYW and PK were commercial
and Stevie deliberately tried to make SYW 'commercial'
with all the repetivity etc
not really like one of her songs at all
the WOS version of Thrown Down would have totally worked
however, i think their first single SHOULD have been Everybody Finds Out
that's the kinda music people would pay attention to and be like WOAH this is really good and people could relate

second single should have been Come
I think SYW is a killer album and there's only maybe 2 songs i flick over...okay 4
but them having a new album out was a pretty big deal
so they should have been a bit controversial

can u imagine

oh yeah i can totally relate to that regarding fm having that soothing effect. i can be having the worst day ever and i will be at the store and hear fm or stevie and it just makes my day. when i was younger i would listen to the fm greatest hits before every track meet that I had. for some reason it just got me pumped up!

i really like syw but i could have done without some of lindsey's strange songs on there. i like the guitar solos but some of them go on for way too long and should have been on one of his solo cd's. also what was up with illume and what sounds like a meshing of stevie's and lindsey's voices together in the one part of the song? it just sound so odd to me. my mother in law didnt like syw at all because she was used to their more popish stuff and she is a deacon so i can imagine the look on her face when she heard Come, HA! i freaking love that song though, its hot and lindsey singing that in concert is even hotter!

lol, i swear it must be a pa thing where people call those bees yellow jackets. we have our own slang here which probably makes us sound like idiots to others, HA!!

marinnette · #27 03-18-2009, 06:21 PM

from now on I'll call them yellow jackets! well, in my own two languages, catalan: "jaquetes grogues", and in spanish: "chaquetas amarillas".

when I first heard "Come" I was like...yeaaah Lindsey, yeahh! now I understand the "rodeo" thing.
by the way, today I re-watch "working girl" and...Melanie had a very Stevie-like hair back them, very very very similar, at least in the first part of the movie.

ha there you go! we also call shopping carts buggy's, slippy for slippery and gumbands for rubberbands, LOL! the one word i wont use is yinz though, i freaking hate that. i love how yellow jackets sounds in spanish, so fancy!

oh yeah when i heard come i was like daamm this song is hot. if i remember correctly wasnt stevie irritated when this song came out cuz she thought people would think that song was about her, HA HA! you know i dont think i have ever seen working girl the entire way through. i gotta check that out again. i loved how stevie had her hair back then, i try to get my hair to do that and it never looks right.

marinnette · #29 03-18-2009, 06:45 PM

me neither...too straight and thin...
don't worry about language! here in barcelona we have a terrible spanish. we mix it with catalan and we say words that don't exist in spanish because they are catalan, and we use some forms that in Spain sound despective...
what is a coffee with milk we say it as they say a little bit of milk in the coffee and stuff...this is another world!

this little stevie...what is the problem with her? she is against "tusk" against "come"...but then she says things like: come around tonight INDECENT, you fill the ROOM with the wind and the rain and the water... christine can't be left behind...SLIP YOUR HAND INSIDE MY GLOVE...come on.

and what about thrown down? the imaginery is very very cleaaarrr! (sorry, it may be my little shipper perverted heart, but everytime i hear this song I picture Lindsey throwing her on a hotel bed...). I do not intend to hurt any sensibility, so I beg your pardon if anyone feels that my sincerity goes a little bit too far...

did you read the lyrically interpretations on Nancy's site?
Thrown Down is all about sex
sorry but yah

how can u interprete "thrown down" as anything but sexual
my mind must be permanently in the gutter too coz it conjures up no other imagery for me, even the first time i heard it
