I always thought it was "on a delicate white ribbon called OMBTRARS". Makes no sense to me though...

Anybody else remember the radio interview Stevie gave around the Timespace time period? In the interview, Stevie really opened up, for the first time, about her marriage to Kim and her affair with Joe Walsh. It's pretty jaw dropping stuff. I still think it maybe the most open she has ever been in an interview.

The only interview I know about in which Stevie says anything about this song is the 1986 Innerview with Jim Ladd. All I remember her saying is that it was her last word on unrequited love. Maybe somebody would transcribe her comments for us?

And Stevie's 1991 BBC interview, the FIRST time she admitted her true love for Joe...

Where she talked about Matthew....

WHY can't people actually LISTEN to what STEVIE says???

.......ok, you just answered my question about anyone else remembering that radio interview.

If he said it never crossed his mind, and she believes him -- I wonder who professed his love to her, or never had the guts to confess his love her, that made her write those parts of Sister Honey.

So come back solemn stranger - to fast like a jet plane - all completely scream loud in the Phoenix valley. So that seems to be where the last part of the song came from, right?

" I think you will like Sister Honey, she will help you make up your mind, even if you don't need her, tell her you need her, she needs you brother." Oh man, do I love RAL. There is a passion on that album that we have not heard from Stevie since. Yeah, the album is a bit of a mess but Stevie was in pain, in love, and intense during the recording and I feel it in every song.

Yes, I have it I believe. That will be my goal for tonight when I get home, to get to the bottom of this! (with wine of course). I don't know about transcribing but I can summarize...

This goes nicely with Prince's own lyrics, "I'm not your lover. I'm not your friend. I am something that you'll never comprehend."

Although, Prince was, ostensibly, writing about Jesus.

He was writing about Stevie when he did the song Pop Life - "Whatcha puttin in your nose? Is that where all your money goes?". Stevie responded "Sorry dude, I never pay for that ****" and that was the last time they ever spoke...

Sorry Matt. My bad.
I always thought she was singing, "a delicate white rythym guitar"

I always thought Stevie was singing "We both caught one more..."

UNTIL the Enchanted booklet came out...

Here ya go. Lot of "you know"s in this. wow.

Jim: In this song The Nightmare, this nightmare is...the other side of love for you, correct?

Stevie:
For me this was the final statement of how I really felt about real unconditional love. I mean, like, you know, it's like, as a woman, you know, when...if you give out the vibe, then you know, then people will, you know, so that...we're all adults, you know...they'll flirt with you or they'll try to get close to you or something. But, boy, when you, when you are in love with somebody, and you're *really* in love with them...nobody comes near you. Because you just don't...you don't flaunt anything. You don't offer out, you know. It's like you, you...you are very prim and you're very nice, and you're very friendly. And, you know, you just don't hug everybody,and you don't let everybody kiss you, And, you..you know, you..you..you don't like to basically be mauled. And so, in The Nightmare, it really says, you know, "I stood with you against the storm, and I...tried, once again". And..the fact is, no, it didn't work. But the fact is, I wouldn't trade a second of it, because I'll never again settle for anything that is any less than that feeling.

The one where she talks about Kim being so possessive and controlling and thinking she was Robin's reincarnate? And not letting Stevie go into the nursery by herself? And how she would have given up her damned career for Joe? "If you walk out that door, you basically cease to exist." Yess, amazing interview!
