Exactly and that "marriage" is part of her persona. Ergo: Is "Come" about Stevie or not? Well, I only see two people on that album cover...
First. I'm on the STEVIE board, so the correct spelling of his name means nothing to me. He's a great artist/producer, don't get me wrong there. But don't try to prove a point by childishly nit-picking spelling. It doesn't work with me.

Perhaps it was foolish of me to make a 1980 cut off for songs, but a half a decade of being/living together hardly consititues a marraige, despite how they've marketed the relationship. Especially when there were many men who came after him.

As for the SYW album cover. Ummm, why WOULDN"T the two leads be on the cover together? FM has been marketed as a "soap opera" band since Rumours. And of course they're going to try to keep that ancient drama alive in any and all future albums they do together. Thanks for the attack, but no-thanks.

I'm not hear to cause drama, and my comment was in no way to attack anyone on this board, it was something that I noticed on Buckinghamnicks.com, and I felt compelled to make note of it. This is a very exciting year for all of us, and I hate to get off on the wrong foot, but I will always say what I think, and defend it. And if there's a difference of opinion, I shall handle it as an adult. That's what discussion boards are about, right?

much love,
Tony

Since she keeps saying that songs are about him, I don't see what's so foolish about it. She just said that Everybody Loves You is about him -- at least her part of it is, according to her.

Granted, that's an easy answer for her. She probably says a song is about him when she doesn't want to reveal who it's really about, when she can't remember what it's really about, and when she knows it's an amalgamation of everything and nothing and just thinks "Lindsey" is a quick, pat answer.

But since she has gone around non-stop from the 80s today saying that she is constantly writing songs about him, it's no surprise to me that fans continue to think both old and new songs are, indeed, about him.

Oh definitely, especially when you consider what she has said about thinking she was God (Celestia). "I said I was going to put God away; she's been here awhile."

And since he was dating her while on tour, "the band played on" fits. She said they had fun, but when she joined him on the road she was visiting Lindsey's life and not living her own and I can see the band playing on meaning that he continued to tour and indulge in his music while their budding relationship just fell by the wayside.

The song may not only be about her, but I certainly think it touches on her growing dementia from that period. And I think Miranda references the abuse she says she suffered at her father's hands.

Wow... how in the world did we transfer from the In Your Dreams trailer to arguing over Anne Heche? Gotta love the randomness of this board!

You (and anyone else who does it) will repeatedly be called out for spelling band members' names incorrectly, esp. Lindsey's. Just so you know.

I heard that Anne Heche had been abused when she was younger. Not sure what kind of abuse or by whom. Anyway, I heard that the song was about her hiding from the abuse or abuser, trying to get over it and possibly being somewhat self-destructive for a period of time.

Here are the lyrics (cut and pasted from a lyrics site which may or may not have every word right). I can see it. It seems to fit:

At the end of the day the end of the light
She keeps the remains of all of her foes
Miranda is dying with all of her might
She never come she always goes
She sticks the camera right into her arm
Anything to forget what the trouble's about
It causes her pain that's part of the charm
She's down for the count then finally out

Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone

She sees her face in another magazine
And the walls all close in as the fancy takes flight
Can't stand to be loved but she loves to be seen
She slips down headlong into the night

Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone

And then all at once the sun starts to rise
She sees her father holding her down
Oh the daylight is poison to her eyes
She slips down the shade and lets herself drown

Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone
The lights shot down the marina all across her safety zone
But loneliness follows Miranda and Miranda is always alone

^ Interesting. Could very well be. I had thought he said in an interview for SYW that Miranda was partly about a model in despair or something. I'm sure there's no way I could find it now.

She said she was sexually abused by her father as a child. She talked about that in her Barbara Walters interview and her book too. I think "She sees her father holding her down," applies.

In her book, she also discussed having a split personality and, having been raised as a fundamentalist Christian, her alter ego was someone named Celestia who actually thought she was God. I think that would be Come territory. She also came to believe she could fly. At one point, she says, "and then I leapt with all my might" and it reminded me so much of Miranda, "dying with all of her might."

I also think that her need for attention back then defines the line, "she sticks the camera right into her arm" and can't stand to be loved, but she loves to be seen.

How did she get the swear word to post? Is it because it is capitalized? This must be the secret to getting the swears to show. Ill try it. Oh ****.

I agree with you about Lori.
Why are you glad to see older Ledgies? Will you say hello to them if you see them at a concert or will you run in the other direction cause you don't want to be embarassed in front of your family?
