I don't really take anything she says at face value... I just automatically assume she has her dates wrong. She historically revises so much for dramatic effect.

Agreed. Definitely needs reworked.

I hope she includes the only good line from the movie: When the girl vampire confronts the werewolf, she wrinkles her nose a little & says, "I thought I smelled wet dog."

What is the issue? Hearing that Stevie Nicks did a song called "Moonlight" would have shocked NO ONE. and the word Dreams is no surprize either. so it must be the "vampire" that is the problem? is that what it is? It is my belief that when we hear it, it will be a cool song. Dark, like some have mentioned before hopefully along the lines of Sisters of the moon, or Straight back. ALSO, like many have already mentioned, We dont really go around calling the songs what she extends them to be called anyway. illume 9-11, IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT how still my love, doing the best that i can ESCAPE FROM BERLIN, if anyone falls IN LOVE, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A storm, i just have a feeling when this song comes out we will all be refering to it as "MOONLIGHT? wich sounds beautiful.

I think the title would be quite pretty as just "Moonlight" it's the sort of word one would almost expect as a Stevie Nicks song.

At the very least, I hope it's written as Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream), as really, without the brackets, it's just too long and rambly

I think the real issue with most is that she was inspired to write the song after managing to sit through an abysmal dud of a film.If it is a great song I'm sure all will be forgiven.

Not to mention she actually had to go to a theater and watch it!

1976=Mick Fleetwood

Everything looks good when you're stoned.

I have to agree. But that's what I always thought anyway.

I thought Stevie has only ever gotten one Grammy. Am I wrong? The article calls her a multi Grammy award winner. I Googled and only found Rumours. Hmm... Anywho, Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard, while it looks like their careers were fruitful back in the day, their more recent work I have never heard of. Doesn't mean much because I'm not exactly a know-it-all when it comes to all kinds of music. I'm hopefully optimisic about the new album and cannot even fathom that it has been TEN YEARS since TISL. Where does the time go?!

-A candle ("Illume")
-A cheesy airport novel ("Rhiannon")
-A highway sign ("Silver Springs")
-A lamp ("Blue Lamp")
-A crappy B-movie ("Wide Sargasso Sea")

And I think most of those songs turned out OK... :-)

This made me laugh.
