What about Rooms On Fire? I know it's post-rehab but "Long nets of white cloud my memory..." is so about coke.

What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You (the only Stevie song where, if held at gunpoint, I would consider lip synching to in drag)

"What has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You"..... a coke-y song of enormous proportions

, as is anything recorded during the RAL era, including the demos and songs she was sending from the road to FM for the TITN sessions i.e. "Joan of Arc", "WHRREDFY", "Juliet" & definitely "Seven Wonders" which to me, was the last great nails on chalkboard vocal of that snow dream era!!

I have to add that Stevie's vocals were beginning to show signs of her addiction on "Wild Heart" where Stevie's voice started to change yet again. She was pretty consistent from BD thru Mirage, then she began to become more confident in her singing and took more risks, which produced some of her memorable vocals ever!!

On WH she really started belting and doing even more vibrato then anything ever before. The song "Wild Heart" sounds wildly "coke-y" to me, singing her a** off hitting vocal highs, and not to mention that marathon run towards the end ("even in the darkest places in your heart') that she could never ever dare to duplicate again on stage or in the studio.
"Stand Back" had heavy vibrato and her voice sounded different to me when this was 1st released, and finally I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Nothing Ever Changes" which has some amazing "coke-y" vocals in the verses

My God. I don't know this song! Was it a b-side? I thought I knew all of them. Certanly every song mentioned on this thread and all the other ones I've read are familiar. Help!! I have to hear it!

Ok. Just heard it on youtube. Now I have to get a copy!

I know, right? Isn't it awesome? Isn't it coke-y? LOL

As for 'Joan of Arc' which was mentioned, I thought that was a post-Betty Ford song. When I listen to it, I think of a scary detox ward. EspeciaLly the line where she sings:
"And they came in tired,
and they said "tired was the end of the line..."
well I can't save you
Joan of Arc, this time..."

I figured 'came in tired' means you were at the end of your rope when you arrived at the hospital.

I'd have to agree with Mirror Mirror. It's great, but it's a hot mess.

Stevie must have ingested several kilos during those 'Mirror, Mirror' sessions. She obviously felt strongly about the track, I think I've heard about 8 different takes, one kookier than the next! I just had a thought: anyone remember those creepy bathroom self pics she did,where she has the dark circles under her eyes? Maybe THAT's the mirror she's referencing, instead of the obvious coke mirror reference ?

You have ALL failed to mention the one demo that Stevie was going to do - and I know it was during the RAL recording sessions...and I think it was like 15 minutes long or something - maybe someone can post it I might have it somewhere...

My Love Is Never Lost I think is the title - she's completely coked out - all the overdubs are terrible...it's like putting 5 of the different versions of mirror mirror together and playing it at once...and then you have the backup girls saying how they are so lost...

OH and let's not forget at the beginning you hear Stevie kinda laughing and saying "It's starting to burn..." like she just took a hit.

THAT my friends is the cokey-ist song.

Wow, what a hot mess THAT was. Never heard it before! Interesting though, it sort of gives you the idea of the process of formulating the vocal parts in a song.
