"I Touch Myself"

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feelin' down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you

There are a number of Joni Mitchell songs that I have always thought Stevie could do justice to..."Car on a Hill" and "Trouble Child" (both from the brilliant COURT & SPARK release) come to mind...Stevie could really wrap herself around either of these beauties and come out smelling like a rose...

*gasp* I know, is Bryan Ferry not one of THE sexiest men on the planet? Easily in the top 5, right up there with Lindsey.

This may be totally off the wall, but I'd LOVE to hear her do " Lost Inside of You". It's a song from that movie "A Star Is Born" with Barbara Striesand and Kris Kristofferson. (I know...hokey..

) But the music is good. The lyrics are:

Time has come again,
when love is in the wind
Like soft music in a a dream,
you make all of them come true
When you came inside my life...now I'm lost inside of you

Lost in the music and lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
hearing songs you sing,
feeling love you bring to me
Darling being close to you
make all of my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

If she ever does anything from C&S, it BETTER be "Raised on Robbery".

(But I love both those songs too).

I'd rather see her do "Queen Bee" from that movie. Zzzap, chick-a-boom-boom. And the black, black widow....

I think she would do an awesome Bonnie Tyler with Total Eclipse of the Heart. Also a few more male rock songs wouldn't hurt. I never really thought about it much until the Zeppelin cover on the last tour. She also sang a stunning Hotel California which she absolutely nailed. Even Bryan Adams Summer of 69 has come into my head as an interesting choice.

Yeah- I thought that one would be good too- especially with Sharon and Lori dancing alongside her!

It's a new season and new feeling....

But what song(s) do you think would be perfect for Stevie to cover?

I've always thought Heart's "Magic Man" was perfect for her...

Also, since I've been listening to my "Halloween" music lately, a lesser known song.... "Darkening of the Light" by Concrete Blonde would be awesome for her.... the Stevie imagery is perfect.... and I can hear Stevie's and Sharona's and Lori's layered upon layered background vocals on it, and I picture a beautiful dark lovely video for it ....

Like a ghost...is the curtain ...
in the white light of the morning...
dancing... in the morning....
are you there....are you there?
and a shadow...like a sadness...
falling all across the garden...
dancing.... in the garden ...
are you there, are you there?

Shine on, friend....
Goodnight....
Why then.... the darkening of the light....

And the leaves... at my feet...
whisper sounds... so familiar...
whisper.... so familiar-
are you there? are you there?

where the clouds... pull apart....
where the moon... changes faces...
in the quiet... secret places...
are you there? are you there?

I love this song...Concrete Blonde was such a good band

Send in the Clowns.

THE REASONS:
1. It's written for an older woman to sing
2. I dreamt that I heard Stevie singing it on the radio last night, before I read this thread (no joke), and it sounded nice, piano and bass,...very quiet...lovely.

You know, that's not a bad idea. I could see it too.

I'd like to hear Stevie do some more "At Last" kind of songs. I think she sounds divine doing her soulful thing.

I tried to get into them, but never really could, though I play Bloodletting every now and then. I hear they were killer live.

I just got their greatest hits CD. Haven't listened to it yet, still working on Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose.

Bloodletting is the best. I love Caroline and of course Joey, which I know everyone got TOTALLY sick of back in the day but I still love it.

So what do you think about Van Lear Rose? I love it.
