My Heart is an ok song for me, I was happy to get it as a completed outtake from TISL, and it arguably could have/should have replaced That Made Me Stronger, but I rarely listen to it, kinda like TMMS. It has room to improve. IMO the chorus is what needs the most improving. It just sorta lays there, and goes nowhere. The verses and the finale are my favorite parts of the TISL version. So I'll be thrilled, if the song is greatly improved upon. But I'll never turn away a bonus song, bring them on, the more the better. At this stage in Stevie's recording career, I'll take what I can get

So this song could also be the 2nd Mike C track, along with "For What It's Worth", meaning that only 1 MC/SN track made the official track list. Hmmmmm.....can't wait to devour the liner notes.

The Ghosts Are Gone is a Mike Campbell track.

that was in an article a long time ago, like when this first started, For What it's Worth and Ghosts are Gone are the Mike Campbell tracks.

On eBay right now, that seller has the DAT of "Mirror, Mirror" which was remixed for placement as the US b~side of "Blue Denim" in 1994. That was 1994. Dredging up an old 1984 recording of "Mirror, Mirror" and slapping it on "Blue Denim" kinda fits that weird, hap hazard era. Plus, Stevie probably wanted to keep "If You Were My Love" and "I Call You Missing" to re~record once again later, since they didn't make it on Street Angel.

So, I really doubt Stevie is putting the old fully~finished/not a "demo!"/1999~2000 version of "My Heart" in the MIDDLE of her UK CD of In Your Dreams.

I'm happy to buy several copies of In Your Dreams! It'll almost be like the old days with foreign singles with rarer b~sides! Yay! New "My Heart"!!!!!

I wish that I could access the source because I know that I have read that she cowrote this song with a UK. singer by the name of Amanda Ghost who had befriended Stevie a few years back.This does not rule out the possiblity that she put the lyrics over a Mike Campbell track I suppose.

Yes, I've been following everything pretty close, and I do not recall anyone stating The Ghosts Are Gone is one of the Mike C. tracks . Jondalar, you'll have to produce that article for me to eat my words

. It's just a petty detail at this point. We'll find out soon enough, but I'm still of the mind that Mikes 2 tracks that Stevie keeps referring to are: My Heart & For What It's Worth. I mean, technically she is now officially releasing My Heart.

BombaySapphire3, I remember the Amanda Ghost co-write too. I think it was on Amanda's official web site listing her writing credits. I'll check it out. I hope it's true, because Amanda is an incredible songwriter (she co-wrote "You're Beautiful" w/ James Blunt & "Beautiful Liar" w/Beyonce), and she also has a great voice. Not sure she records anymore, just writes for other artists, she a big record executive now.

Ewww.... So, we're getting NON~Stevie lyrics again???

Blech! "You're Beautiful" makes me vomit! I can suffer through Dave's additional lyrics because it was part of the process, but this Ghost woman sounds like another Diane Warren! "Ghost~writer" to the singers who can't write anymore. They add a few lines and get co~credit, but it's really HER song.

Blech!!!!

(Like my Jondalar impression? Kidding with ALL LOVE, J!!!)

I don't think she got writing credits on James' album; but I do believe she contributed backing vocals.

Actually Amanda did have one album out and has a good voice that has a vibrato somewhat similar to Stevie's and had a hit in the UK with a song called "Filthy Mind' which was kind of enjoyable IMO .Stevie was an idol of hers so she reached out to her I understand.I always thought Jondalar went with 'blah' or 'bah" btw..

Ummm, I think in one of the first articles written about the album, it was mentioned that Ghosts is Gone is a Mike Campbell track. If the track is a threeway, then that's fine with me. Stevie needed new imput. She was repeating herself over and over again. She has written hundreds, maybe over a thousand songs. All songwriters need help bringing out the different tangents eventually. What would of happened if Stevie never recorded Talk to Me or Seven Wonders. Her career would of really hit the skids early. Bonnie Raitt lives off other peoples song. Sheryl Crow cowrites a lot.

P.S. My Heart is not on the official album, so even if it was a Mike Campbell track it wouldn't count.

mikebise · #**103** 04-06-2011, 11:08 AM

If Stevie's going to write songs by her "fans", why not release "When It All Falls Apart" that Courtney Love co~wrote for Stevie in 1997?

Bah! Meh!

Why not just be like Cher and hire Barbara McLuin and other impersonators/drag queens to perform onstage with Stevie, if Stevie's back to singing other people's songs? Bah!

I'm calling it now: "Face The Promise" WILL be on this tour! Bah!!!

I agree. Almost everyone today co-writes. Stevie needed a fresh angle this time out. Besides, I got over Stevie recording other writers material and heavily co-writing songs pretty much after Rock A Little was released. If the songs are good, that's what I care about the most anymore. Stevie unique style and personality always comes through.

uhhh, there is so much misinformation out there, who really knows if the Amanda Ghost thing is correct. Stevie, herself, keeps changing things in interviews. Until the album comes out, nothing is for sure. Maybe the Mike Campbell is actually You May Be the One. Maybe Dave is getting sole songwriting credit on Cheaper Than Free, since it was slated only for his album in the first place. At this point, a good album any way she can get it would be nice.
