There's also that belief that GB is about this topic because Stevie held her stomach while singing the song during the SYW Tour. It's not my belief, though.

Maybe she had one too many potatoes with her tea.

Also, does a baby's breathing sound that different from an adult's. Again, I don't really know.

I read she made significant changes in the lyrics compared to the original written version. I believe that was done to include Lindsey in her goodbye song. I think it's both about Lindsey and her baby.

That is the craziest thing I've ever heard when it comes to La Nicks and that says a lot.

Same here.

What about that Kristen was the surrogate of Stevie and Lindey's love child?

I believe that it was one of those 'Off The Record" radio interviews where Stevie did confirm it. She expressed that she was not too happy with Don for 'letting the cat out of the bag". I guess that they have since made up.

esp since she is not realy holding her stomach as much as she is hugging herself - at least to me.

Personally, I think the song is part of the Rhiannon series and is about the taking of Rhiannon's baby and telling her it died. Maybe, like in many of her other songs, Stevie personalized it, but I think it is about Rhiannon, which is not about La Nicks. But, until she talks about it, no one can claim they are correct and even then, who knows as her songs are often about more than one thing.

The song about that is on the next album.

Ooh, I forgot about that doozy!

I didn't make this connection with the SYW version, but the demo, definitely... this verse is what got me....

And when you hold yourself and know that
There were two...
Now only you remain...

her vocals on this part of the demo are seriously heartbreaking...

*It could also be about the story of Rhiannon too, in the book, her son is taken away.... but who knows

I think that also could be being in bed holding yourself and and wishing the person that was there (husband, etc. ) was there but now only you remain.

But, it certainly could be a child.

Maybe so. I know that the "The Tower" lyrics are different and I do think that the "Goodbye Baby" lyrics sound more like they're about Lindsey. "Hope your heart's not broken." "Yes, I was outspoken." I would be quicker to say that those are about Lindsey than a baby.

Listen to it at full volume on headphones and listen to the last ten seconds of the song. I swear is is a baby's breath.

But maybe I'm crazy. I listen to this song all the time when I can't fall asleep. I just put this song on repeat and lull myself to sleep if I'm having really bad insomnia.

Probably Stevie's dog snoring.
