I woke up with Destiny in my head. Wonder where that came from?

I'm so behind in reading posts! I'll have to wait until the weekend. Work is consuming all of my Ledge time lol.

I was a Stevie fan for ages before I realized that in the song "Whenever I Call You Friend" - a song I've always LOVED - Stevie's the one singing backup. Ditto for "Gold" with Jon Stewart.

I guess that's more like a "Stevie Confession!"

Why don't more people love The Nightmare? From what I gather a lot of people dislike this song in particular and I really don't understand why.

Honestly it's a top -10 Stevie song for me and I'm not joking! It has a great catchy melody, awesome lyrics "You cannot know a dream till you've known a nightmare", how true!, and it's a real rocker. It also has incredible energy and it's totally the RAL voice! It should have been released as a follow up to Talk to Me. I mean ICW is just as awesome but The Nightmare had radio hit written all over it. I wonder what Stevie thinks of this song in retrospect? If you know, tell her!

I don't understand why some people feel unless others like something, they shouldn't either.

I like what I like and that's all that really matters to me. I always feel if something becomes too popular, it's less appealing to me.

You're right..if we all liked the same things this world would be a pretty boring place! I was just curious what people find so painful about this song.
I don't really take into consideration if a song was popular or not in my judgment of it but there is something special about loving a song that was never popular.

Well i suppose it's not really important but I LOVE The Nightmare It's amazing, i love how she references her old songs, Storms, Sisters, Dust Woman. I think this song is a fabulous statement from a woman that went no. 1 with Dreams! This song is a realisation that the "dreams" of the past are not what they appear to be, "The dream took her prisoner and the dream was over but ... The Nightmare was not over" - It should have garnered more attention.

They could have released it as a single instead of HAEWAFY - especially the special vocal mix fromt the I Can't Wait Maxi-single. Or the other mix where they use "The Nightmare... This is not the world, this is not the world" as the chorus.

So let's hear why you love it, Or why you don't?

I'm pretty sure I'm still the only one on Earth that loves Silver Girl, but that never stopped me from admitting that is on my top 5 FM songs.

probably wasn't thought of as "single" material because it doesn;t have a very "catchy, sing-along" chorus. it does have marvelous imagery and a great vocal!

A chilling portent of Stevie's own death, seen through her eyes. I love it beyond measure.

I think I cream my pants a little everytime I hear Stevie Nicks wail.

This belongs in the TMI thread.

It's one of my favorites! I really don't understand all the hate that Rock A Little and Other Side Of the Mirror gets. I know we all have different tastes but all the songs are just so catchy to me.

It's important to me! I love what you said by the way. I never thought about it as a contrast to Dreams. How brilliant!
Another thing about The Nightmare that I love is that it has personal significance to me. I kind of live by the line "You cannot know a dream till' you've known a nightmare. I'm sure many of you have gone through extremely difficult, dark times reminiscent of a nightmare. I know I have but the truth it you can see so much more beauty and light in life once you've seen the dark, nightmare-ish side of it. It makes you appreciate what you have even more.

I've fallen in love with Sweet Girl (demo/Enchanted version, not The Dance version). I did not like this song for the longest time and thought it was a bit too country but I can't stop listening to it. Best part,
"I watched you fly across the world in a golden ball
Many of the cities, I never saw at all
Sometimes I think I was always on-call
Sometimes even I am allowed to fall."

This is my song for my little Yorkie dog. Is it weird that I have a song for my dog?

Sweet Girl is one of my all time favorites!
