Twisted

[Travis]

Personally, I find "Twisted" to be one of Stevie's best songs ever. With the "lull" period she had during the early 90's, on "Twisted" she sounds like she is on her way back. Heartfelt lyrics and passionate vocals, ah, I remember thinking, "Stevie is back." Truly one of her better songs.

I love it too and definitely agree, but remember that this one was
produced for a specific movie, to their more-or-less specific
requirements. Personally I feel she nailed it and gave them exactly
what they were looking for, but i.m.o. this isn't exactly Stevie
"writing from her heart" here, it's more like being told what they were
looking for and giving it to them, as per the "script" of the movie.
But I DO feel that there's more to it than initially meets the eye.

I read that when she was asked to write the song, she was given the script and one of her assistants read parts of it to her or gave her a rundown of it. Taking that to mind, I think she delivers a pretty good song that ties directly to the movie and one that many people can relate to - and she does it in the classic Stevie Nicks style. It's a meladrama and metaphorically the story of a man and a woman in a stormy relationship that continually wreaks havoc on their lives but that they refuse to end. Delicious.

Newp. The song is my favorite and has deep meaning. Yea, she made her own life story fit into the Soundtrack but she referred to herself as a storm many years prior to writing Twisted. This song is all about Stevie and nothing about an actual tornado... Of course Stevie is just as happy having everyone think she crafted it around the script.

I agree. There was something about the tempo though, I felt that for the theme it slogged along. I would have liked to hear a more straight ahead rock treatment of this song and not the AC it turned out as. I also think radio should have played this more, it has some hooks but they just didn't give it the time of day.

It doesn't have the movement of the demo, and the drums never really push it along, which is pretty inexplicable, considering it's Mick playing on the full version and just a really basic pre-recorded drum loop playing on the demo. The Buckingham/Nicks harmonies aren't that tight either.

You're sound, thanks a million.

*listens...*

Hmm ... not what I expected, but worth listening to all the same. I agree about the harmonies, though, there's something amiss there.

Thanks, you're a pal!!

I'm not a big fan of this song at all, but that's just me.

Not sure if this is obvious aleady, but try looking at the song from the
point of view of it being not just about tornados, but about how Stevie
views guys' perspectives and attitudes towards the world.
(Guys like Lindsey, for example...)
From that angle - the song takes on a much bigger meaning,
and maybe even ranks up there with some of Stevie's best, imo
(OH-kay, it's not Shakespeare, I admit! )
