I don't really know what to say about Seven Wonders. I love it...its one of those I like to turn up really loud in the car...oh wait...that goes for every FM song...oh well, you get my point

I actually love the way her voice sounds on this one, but I'm one of those who has never been bothered by the way her voice has changed through the years. I love the way she sounds now. I don't know if she would be able to pull off the song on stage now...I don't really see why she couldn't. There's only one way to find out...

I read the info at this link:

Here's some additional SW info- http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...749#post788749 Fannymac, is there anything else you can add? Your tidbits of info were very interesting.

And I'm wondering...is she actually singing

"Aaron" at the breaks?

Sounds a lot like "Tara" and "Sara"

I don't think Lori Nicks knows what she's talking about. I mean I can totally hear Stevie singin' Tara.

That would tie in with the whole "well it's not home, and it's not tara.." thing in Welcome To The Room Sara,

But it sounds so close to both sara and tara.... maybe it is

Who knows what Stevie was thinking

It would sound stately & sedate, the way it did in 1987. It wouldn't be the stormy style of the album. The band would probably play it slower, too.

Do you have a recording of it?

if this responce has already been addressed then i appologize..i just looked and looked and found it nowhere...i had read somewhere on the ledge via a sandy stewart discussion OR seven wonders discussion that the song "seven wonders" which was written by sandy was originally called "aaron." sandy was "upset" that name was changed to "seven wonders" and the word "aaron" which sounds like "tara/sara" was omitted.. so stevie decided to leave the lyrics as they were..that part anyway.. i kno the "emaline" part has been discussed. thoughts? opionions? i really like this story of that the best!! LOL!! afterall it does make sense..she is talking about somebody..as all the way down (whoever "they" were) they "held the line."

It seems 'right' for her to be singing 'Sara' in that bridge. Because she once had a song named Sara, of course, but also because she had another track on the album Welcome To The Room...Sara. I thought she was trying to be continuous. Oh, and she had a great-aunt Sara who she once described as being something of a muse to her.
I wish she'd do another song where she sings the name Sara.

"You know where Sara lives, the Imperial Hotel"
"Sara has a real Long Way To Go, to say goodbye"
"Sara's alone now, with her thoughts, how she would make it, how she would get out..."
"She thinks that is the meaning of love, and Sara prefers to Kick It"
"She was a Sara Girl, immersed in a hard-core world..."

Yep, she's definitely singing "Aaron:......did it to make Sandy happy!

I never thought she said Aaron, but since her grandpa's name is Aaron, if she said that, it would be a fitting tribute, since he's the one who got her started as a performer.
