Demos that deserve to be recorded now

[Macfanforever]

I think she should take inventory and use these old demos then writing new tunes.

Once in a million years...I would never thought of that. But you are absolutely right on. Quite insightful, I must say!

I believe that All The Beautiful Worlds is a finished song. I really like that one.

Oh I forgot about Have No Heart! That is another fav of mine!

There are a bunch i'd *like* to see, but I'm really dying for China Doll and City of Hope.

Srsly someone should send her a list of all these we've mentioned. Though it might make her hate the Internets even more. But still, she can have another album out in a year...

Her people are all over this board. I'm sure she'll hear about this thread.

That was my thought when I started the thread, actually.

Y'know, just making sure Karen's whispering the words to "Forsaken Love" in Stevie's ear when the time comes.

Hi Karen!

All the Beautiful Worlds
Mirror Mirror
China Doll
Blue Water
Three Birds of Rhiannon
Forest of the Black Roses

Sanctuary and The Dealer would definitely be my top two, but I also looove One More Tomorrow!

Stevie should just make a dump of all her demos in a cd collection for her true fans,With the state of todays crappy radio airplay results.I dont see why she should get her heart broken with sheety responce from radio.unless she get one of her demos mixed by a rap artist.Good grief.

[KarmaContestant]

Sanctuary, Starshine, The Dealer and China Doll. I think many of the others would not turn out well - not because of vocals but more because the feeling of the demos simply could never be recaptured. Looking at the mess that was made of Smile At You, I'd be very nervous about songs like Forsaken Love, Forest of the Black Roses or All The Beautiful worlds being re-recorded.

My preference would be that she just finish these songs, using the vocals that are already recorded, add harmonies as necessary and then have them properly mixed and produced. I don't understand Stevie's weird obsessiveness with constantly re-recording and reworking songs that are already essentially finished. Just because she's releasing something now does not mean it needs a 'now' vocal.

Definitely 'I Call You Missing'!

Me too . I want her to release the Rhiannon themed album that goes with that movie she never made. We will never hear the final versions of so many of the songs mentioned in this thread...
