How do you sing it?

[strandinthewind]

Whatever it is - I sing it LOUDLY!!!!!!!!

I also tend to repeat the ending vocal a la "just like the white wing dove" dove dove dove oooo baby I said dooooooove

[SapphireSister]

Hand gestures-

Any time I hear "pale shadow of of a woman" I do her shadow outline thing she does with her hands. Also the grabbing, finger wiggling thing she does during "black widow, OH YEAH". I love that. I'd wait for it at every Gold Dust show and if she didn't do it during GDW I'd be mad for a moment.

I also do the snap snap head jerk and sing along to "though we've been [snap snap} out of touch" (like the video) during ICW.

I'm basically all over the place when I listen to Stevie, especially in the car lol. The people next to me at stop lights definitely put the petal to the metal when the light changes and are probably saying "what a nut".

[SapphireSister]

So many of them! I just realized how much I do this.

Well you could be standing in it, stand back YOOOOOOW!!!

During Seven Wonders I always play air drums on this part:

"I'll never live to match the beauty again, the rainbows end" doo doo dooo, dooo doo doo, doo-du-du, BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (air drums).

Like, the end of Rhiannon I always keep going after the studio "dreams unwind" part ends. And Edge - I always sing "no one really ever heard the phone at all but me!" Things like that.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I believe you're saying you sing the live version and not that you sing different lyrics. But...aren't the live lyrics to edge "no one really ever heard fall at all but me?"

If not, then this put this down as the lyrics that I sing incorrectly because I always sing "fall."

[realcowgirl]

Generally, I tend to sing the album cuts more like they sound live. I always add the " . . .I don't think you do . . ." no matter which Rhiannon I'm listening to.

Haha, I actually heard it the same way when I first heard it. Took me awhile to figure out I was wrong.

I follow this with "sad circles around my eyes"

I like to add a word for emphasis on some songs. Bitch is pretty handy. I always sing "You can consume all the beauty in the room, bitch, I know you can, I've seen you do it" and "If I'm wasting my mind bitch, make up your mind"

Bitch, it's the new "well".

wait, wait, wait. I just saw this. Did you get that from me? (probably not) Because It's been one of my jokes, for like, a year now..."put "bitch" on the end of a phrase, it automatically makes it funnier and better"
And when I'm singing and messing around with friends, I always insert "bitch" in their songs. Also, of course, by myself with Stevie songs.
That's weird. Seriously, I do that all the time.

I totally didn't get it from you, but I love that you do it too. It fits really well with many Stevie songs : "This could be a whole lotta trouble, bitch, a whole lotta trouble for yoouuuuuuu"

[Raeven Skye]

hehehe...I LOVE these! I also sing the live versions to whatever version I'm listening to, which gets me lots of raised eyebrows...another one I always do is in "Everyday"...instead of .."I close my eyes, it gives me hope.." I sing: "I close my eyes, I smoke some dope..."
I've done it since the first time I heard the song! hehehe

and "bitch" is the new "well"....that's totally getting incorporated

OMG - and you have to shake and move your head sort of ghetto on the "sounds like yooooooooou" part - with a dramatic finger point to the audience

That's what I do, too. The main one is Stop Draggin My Heart Around - I add Stevie's extra "stops" in and her "yeah, yeah, yeah."

I also somehow can't sing Destiny Rules anymore as "it appears to me..." - I sing it "it occurs to me" because that's how she sang it in the DR doc. It's like a mind block thing. I think "occurs" sounds prettier.

I also sing all the harmony parts they've ever added live to studio songs (like Never Going Back Again).

I'm sure there are many more - I'll have to start paying attention to my (horrid) singing.

of course! there's no other way to sing(more like perform) that one.
