Why was this site dropped like a hot potato after TISL? It should be updated for In Your Dreams. Or atleast the nicks fix should be redesigned by whoever designed this.

Over the past few days, I've totally fallen in love... with When I See You Again

The lyrics are awful, and her vocal is terrible; but I think that's what's attracting me to her song. I think it's her worst vocal performance on record, and it says more than the lyrics could ever say. Here's a woman desperately trying to say something, anything, with a tool that no longer does what she wants it to, and that's why it's so powerful. This is Stevie at her very lowest, and it almost feels like I'm intruding on something private when listening to this song.:

So low that she couldn't come up with any lyrics except "Whatsa matta baby".

I think it's just an o.k. song. It's not even the poor vocal that bother me, that never bothers me. Just not a huge fan of the song itself but you're correct in that it does represent a horrible time in her life. Good assessment too! I tend to think that more when I hear songs from Street Angel though because she was so lacking in her usual creativity and you can hear the life being sucked out of her. Hence I don't listen to a lot of SA.

I think that all her vocals on Tango in The Night are great. It's too bad the only decent song on there by her was Seven Wonders and she didn't even write it.

Hey, she wrote one word!

I agree with a lot of this. I actually love the song and her performance because of what you described though. It is Stevie at possibly her most vulnerable - and it's painful and you can hear her pain. She makes it almost tangible. Lindsey's vocal on the end just finalizes it. So.sad.

The only other song I can think of off the top of my head that affects me in the same way is "Storms".

SapphireSister · #**174** 02-23-2011, 10:53 PM

I'm typing this from my mobile phone. I don't know if that's cool or sad lol. Stevie would not be happy. At least she's not mad at me about the demos cuz she told me so, ha!

I rather like When I See You Again, actually, especially the melody.

I just got finished watching disc 1 of Peter Bogdanovich's documentary on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, "Running Down A Dream". WOW!

I love the behind the scenes footage of the recording process of "Stop Draggin'..." and how high pitched her vocals were. More so than what actually made the record. Plus I love the scene where Tom says...

"Stevie said I wanna be a Heartbreaker...and I said there are no girls in the Heartbreakers." and she just wasn't getting it.

I love that doc, too. I said to my husband 'It's four hours long' and he goes 'What?!' and I'm like, 'I know, I suppose they must just be covering the main points...'

Random Stevie thought: I wonder what Stevie thinks of Annie Lennox, and wonder what she'd think of Lindsey Buckingham producing a solo album for Annie! Now that Dave has produced Stevie, would it be fitting, or irony, or sweet revenge for Lindsey to team up with Annie? I think LB&AL might be interesting in the studio together! If they start today, they can release a 'Buckingham Lennox' single on May 2 to co-incide with 'In Your Dreams'- Ooh, the drama for the next Fleetwood Mac album would be all set!
I really do think, believing the advance word, that Dave Stewart may be the best producer SN has worked with in decades. Hurry up, May! Or, release it early, come on- all this foreplay has been such a tease, already. Get it out in March, what the ef's the difference?

Sell it next to the t-shirts at the concerts with Rod.
All this buildup... somebody's going to b*tchslap someone before May!

So um...
What is the latest with Sheryl Cr0w?
My understanding was that they used to be bffls.

My hunch is that they're not all that close any more. Reasons for that could be (in no particular order):

The whole SC joining / not-joining FM debacle
The way that female friendships change when one of you has kids (I can vouch for that one!)
Their different public positions on Iraq

But maybe simplest of all is SN's tendency to call everyone her best friend for about ten minutes. As she says herself, she has a teenage personality.
