Holding a book? What does that have to do with anything? And I don't think I've EVER seen a picture of Stevie holding a book...

If she were a Christian, wouldnt it be more obvious? Most christians I know are forever stuffing their religion down people's throats.

I fail to see how anything on that list can point to her being a christian.

I have to say I think it's sad that these kind of generalizations are made and I'm sorry if the only experiences you've had with Christians left you with that impression.

Not all Christians believe in "stuffing" their religion down other's throats, so if Stevie was a Christian it may not be so obvious.

I know plenty of Christians who are AMAZING people and would never thing of loading me with their beliefs. Christians can be awesome you know. This is coming from an Atheist.

I think she probably had Christian beliefs at one time, and probably still believes in "a God"... but I don't think she's a practicing Christian, no.

It's from an old demo of Stevie's called "Stay Amber," which is apparently
about her Dad's love for her. "Always stay Amber, remember to be kind
etc." Always be true to yourself, in other words. Towards the end of
the song she promises to "remember," which she rhymed beautifully
with "Amber." It's a beautiful song and worth doing a search for i.m.o.

Ahhh, but I didn't say it made sense; I said that I was curious what people might say.

I think it's fair to say that no interpretation of a Stevie Nicks song is ever wrong, and Stevie has said a lot of things over the years.

While I think it's true that most things in Stevie's songs are very open to interpretation... the 'no one left standing in the hall' line is one of the few that I don't really think is. It's pretty straightforward in its self, not to mention that she has specifically said what it was referencing and that was... her going down the hallway trying to find a family member after her uncle passed.

I've always felt there's a great deal of symbolism in it as well, though.

At the Young Life Christian meeting at some random person's living room, yes. But Stevie pointedly said it was something she went to just to get out of the house and socialize.

Stevie was raised Christian believe she is raised Episcopalian and went to catholic schools but I do believe she is still believes in God on more of a Spiritual level and probably open to other believes too. I have read she was raised Epicopalian and went to Catholic Schools when she was younger.
