Songs about Stevie

singatnight · #1 07-18-2009, 04:57 PM

I know we all spend time trying to figure who and what Stevie's songs are about......but what songs/or lyrics are about her??? I was going to limit this to just Lindsey songs .....but I decided not to. It was interesting to hear about some of Don Henley's songs in an earlier thread that pertained to Stevie.
So....what do you think?

I havent given it too much thought yet, but here goes:
a couple of the obvious:
1.Go Your Own Way
2. Second Hand News

Alot off of Tusk:
1. What makes you think your the one?
2. I know I'm not wrong
3. Not that funny

Others:
1. Say Goodbye
2. Don't Come Around Here No More (Tom Petty)

Being a Rick Vito fan, it's not surprising the first one that comes to my mind is Rick's song "Desiree" from his King of Hearts album. Most definitely about Stevie -- and she even sang it with him!

Somebody's gotta dissect all the Eagles stuff.... But I can take a few swings at FM.

Monday Morning
Second Hand News
Never Going Back Again
Go Your Own Way
What Makes You Think You're The One
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Not That Funny
Say Goodbye

"Witchy Woman" has got to be about Stevie:

"She's a restless spirit on an endless flight"
^She runs around like a spirit in flight!

"She drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon"
^She's a gold dust woman.

"Witchy woman... she got the moon in her eye"
^Black moons in those eyes of hers.

Pretty much all the lyrics could describe her. (Besides the "Raven hair" one)

Holy ****... you're right. Success! I love this thread already.

Hey, thanks!

I'm also really into the Eagles and I kind of put that together after I found out that Stevie & Don Henley dated.
The lyrics just fit Stevie SO well! (Except, of course that she isn't really a witch... haha)

Guys... that song was written pre-1972.

I'm really upset that there's no way its about her.

"Witchy Woman" was released in 1972. Isn't that too early to be about Stevie? I do agree though, it fits perfectly. I remember my mom always saying that "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles from 1976 was about Stevie & Lindsey.
