blue denim

[GoldDustOrphan]

Blue Denim is my favorite track from Street Angel.

For those who are curious, below is the scaled down acapella from the drum safety reel. In simpler terms, it's Stevie's lead vocal, her own backgrounds, etc. structured per the arrangement, but they haven't been processed, sweetened or filtered. During the song's coda - when she's cutting loose vocally - listen carefully for her backgrounds. She hits one really sour note, but I even like that.

This is too cool for words. Thank you! That sour note is actually kinda' interesting...

I'm sorry, I'm not hearing the "sour" note...

perplexed, confused, and utterly puzzled!

I actually think the late 1980s Europop production worked well on about 3/4 of the album.It is certainly the album that strayed the farthest from her usual Socal rock sound.

I sang this song at karaoke one time at the bar that I used to work at, and I was singing it to someone who I had a major fling with, and I still find him irresistable to this day. He had beautiful blue eyes....and ohhh, how they shined. He was beautiful. So I sang this song to him without him even knowing it. I never told anyone about it until just now. Every word everything that was sung in that song reminded me of him. "Understanding me, understanding you....It's not an easy thing to do..." "I will never for get the last time I saw you....Like a photograph so rare...like a painting"

"Wonder if I'll ever see him again..." well I tried to call him this weekend to come and hang out with me and my friends, but he sounded grouchy on the phone. Last I heard he had a girlfriend. I met one of them one time before, but I haven't seen him since Feb. this year. There are several other Stevie songs that remind me sooooo much of Sean...Violet and Blue, Blue Denim, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, Long Distance Winner, Paper Doll, Dreams, Thrown Down.....I can go on and on. We were never an item. I was just someone who was inlove with someone who didn't love me back. He was just a fling, and we remained friends, but I had to stay away from him because he makes me go crazy. There is a little Stevie in all of us.....

Without realizing it...Maybe he is your..."THE ONE"
If you saw the PBS Soundstage you will know what I mean (Venesssa Carlton Song, she played piano and sang- Stevie sang backup vocal/harmony as well as "the girls"...
If not, the song is about how there is always someone, somewhere that you may never see again
that was "the one" for you that either you let go of ;or he went away......But he will always be "THE ONE"
Just a thought.....

I always wondered if it was about Kurt Cobain...the timing isn't right for them to have been at Exodus together, but I feel that he would have been someone that would have had a profound affect on Stevie, what with the eyes and the music...he was a beautiful man, as well...maybe she was doing her anti-drug/younger generation thing. Dunno.

It's a loud "ahhhh!" underneath the verse towards the end...It was intentional, but the note is a bit flat, to say the least.

Cobain was a beautiful guy. His eyes were beautiful. God I miss that band, and him.
