Ive been freaking on ANGEL lately... cant get enough of it, either live or on my demo disk from Tusk Take II.

I also love the Wild Heart tour version where Waddy makes the begining sound like a Stones song.

All I have to say is, the demo version of SOTM is AWESOME, I don't know if there is more than one version floating around out there but the sparse piano arrangement and the haunted melody really gave me a lump in my throat. I think Stevie should perform it again like that someday.

Here is the full lyric

She sits across the table...the same glass table
Cries to her friend...why am I so alone
He says, wo baby, baby, baby, baby
This is the path you have chosen
She probably goes under another name
Well, that's a good idea

You know, I've always thought that this was about Tom Petty too, but I'm not quite sure why. I don't recall reading anything like that in any interviews or anything though. Weird.

I love Kind of Woman -- always have, even the what was that...3-part demo or something? & speaking of Bella Donna (my Stevie album of choice), I really just love "Think About It" and "The Highwayman" -- I think she delivers some amazingly powerful songwriting in her BD songs.

Otherwise, "Angel" is always a favourite, and "Storms" -- I love that.

Definitely songs that I can sing along with!

Those would be Sister of the Moon, If You Ever Did Believe and Storms have been my favorite classics that I have been really putting on heavy rotation!

TWISTED!

I flipped out when this song was released. How rare -- an actual duet between Stevie and Lindsey! If they had any true sense of adventure and inspiration, they would have included it in their live set for their current tour. I'm amazed Stevie performed it for her last tour. It was nice to hear live...but it would be even nicer to hear it with Lindsey and the rest of the band.

I always thought it was written for Mike Campbell and so is about Mike Campbell...........I could be wrong (I often am LOL)

Until SYW release I was really into Sable on Blond and the whole Excalibur reference therein. A couple of weeks back I also dug out RAL and burned it onto CD so that I can actually play it again. I love If I Were You and miss that song.

I keep listening to Angel like the rest of you....gawd, I HEART that song. Same thing with Designs of Love demo (aka That's Alright) I LOVE the vocals on that. Oh, and No Questions Asked has been in my CD player as well

Designs of Love is fantastic! I've always sort of had this love/hate relationship with That's Alright, but this demo really puts a new spin on the song and makes it truly phenomenal IMO. I strongly urge anyone who has a hard time listening to That's Alright to give Designs of Love a try. You have to really appreciate country styles of music though, but the banjo makes it fun even if you don't!

I love this thread.

I've been addicted to the Rhiannon piano demo as of late...I even posted it on my website so my friends could download it. Just the whole beginning with her talking is just so mesmerizing...and the song just gets more and more awesome as it goes on through that 7 minutes and 44 seconds.

That along with If Anyone Falls...just lately it's been one of those songs that I keep repeating in the car and just belting out. That and Violet and Blue.

Alas, he was the Highwayman....
The one that comes and goes
And only the Highwaywoman.... keeps up with the likes of those

And she in all her magic....
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge... and went into the night........

One of the greatest songs ever... She should do this live with Don Henley at those AHA benefits instead of "Leather and Lace".

And by the by.... "That's Alright" kicks ASS!!! (All versions included)

streetangel · #28 06-04-2003, 09:45 AM

I agree wholeheartedly....I love to listen to The Highwayman. And as for That's Allright - always loved this tune......sometimes I have to weigh up whether I prefer this to Gypsy??????

I've always loved Designs of Love & The Highwayman & Imperial Hotel, but for the past few months it's been all about Garbo for me (hence the posting name). Love the simplicity, the vocals, the oddness of the lyrics (only Stevie would choose not to write love song lyrics to this melody). Also, I'm getting into Somebody Stand by Me (love the way her voice contains so much passion at such a slow speed - - - what control she has). And the Enchanted version of Twisted (not the movie version). And Mix Down/Love and War.

Actually, she said in an interview that they were planning on doing it and then they didn't do it. It would be incredible.
