Someone said the same sight had a "Spoiler Page" which said that "Goodbye Baby" is defintely "The Tower", though I cant find that info anywhere. Does anyone know if that has been confirmed? Nodmod?

Thanks much.

thank you neil. I kind of expected the lyrics to Silver Girl to be like that. I mean the minute i heard a song called Silver Girl was on this album, i knew it wasn't good. I mean these re awful lyrics. Of course watch me come cack here in 2 weeks saying Silver Girl is my favorite song from the album

but on the other hand I predict Illume to be an absolut BLOCKBUSTER of a song. Just from that mini clip from TVBOFM and these awseome lyrics, once i hear the whole this will be AMAZING.

If Silver Girl is about herself, as I imagine it is, Stevie gets pretty confident in what she says.
"She's got a million bucks/And she looks like it."
That was kind of surprising to see. I still like the lyrics, I'm just wondering if anyone will give her guff for that.

By the way, wasn't a clip of Silver Girl up at FleetwoodMac.com? If it was, and I remember it correctly, she was singing different lyrics. I can't remember them, but it was something about trying to "find you." Or am I thinking of another song?

Well, yeah I agree..to an extent...the lyrics are veering really close to self indulgent. Suprise Suprise!!! ...
But on the other hand...I find it hard to believe that Fleetwood Mac would consider putting anything on this CD that wasnt very good to great!!...They had too many great songs to pick from, ...so I dont think this will be a stinker..So far from what I've heard of Stevies compositions, via the leaks, this will be her most consistent and best outing since "Tusk"

Illume lyrics are intriguing, I also think this will be a powerful song-and is the one I am most eager for.

Hmm, let's not confuse self-indulgence with self-awareness.

Also, I don't think the line about looking like a million bucks is written in a vain way.
When someone's all dressed up in expensive clothes, etc., they "look like a million bucks."
I don't think Stevie was saying she's "all that," so to speak.

Having said that, it may not even be about Stevie.
Perhaps it's about the enigmatic "Miranda"!

Sheryl Crow.

"Silver Girl" was written about Stevie's pal Sheryl. If NOT, then it is most definitely about Stevie herself ...

I'm gonna agree with riff_Shuffler, I think this was written about Sheryl. Especially because of this lyric:

She would have preferred
The last generation

Both Stevie and Sheryl have said before that Sheryl wishes she were born about a decade earlier so she could have grown up with all the music she really loves or something like that.

Having said that, I'm not sure if I really like the lyrics to Silver Girl. They seem...kind of...cheesy or something.

Ilume looks awesome though.

Well, I don't know the line about being a "Girlie Girl" does not sound like Sheryl at all. She seems like quite the opposite.

Christopher · #13 03-31-2003, 07:38 PM

I also thought it was about Sheryl Crow when I read the 1st verse...But then I agree Pattie, the "Girlie Girl" line kind of threw me and made me think Stevie was suddenly also writing about herself, perhaps its about both of them - in the continuing theme of being women in the male dominated rock-n roll world.

And hey, I can appreciate that these lyrics are being leaked, but it would be really cool if someone out there reading this would post a review of the overall songs...

SmthngOfADreamr · #14 03-31-2003, 07:55 PM

IMO I don't think it's about Sheryl at all -- I think it's supposed to be autobiographical.

It really reminds me a lot of "Garbo" It's got the same themes. "Sometimes she was an actress" (like Garbo, Marilyn, Marlena) and the part about wanting to be from the last generation and all. It's just like "I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit all alone at a party, with someone I knew from a time gone by..." Just my thoughts.

Thanks Neil,

I like Illume's lyrics but Silver Girl...ehh didnt like that much. I hope the music complements Illume lyrics and Helps Silver Girls.

I think that Silver Girl could be about Stevie and Sheryl. But you know, that part were it says "She was a girlie girl" to me the key word is WAS. I remember seing pictures of Sheryl and she look very girlie back then. Now, I dont think so.

Oh well, you never know with Stevie.
