"The cassettes -- because I have an amazing assistant, and my girl singers, also, have been with me since 1979 -- so between those three, they really keep all those cassettes very organized. So we have vaults in Phoenix, where, because I lived there -- I had a house there until a couple years ago when I sold it --. \And but I still have all my storage there in Phoenix with, you know, a lot of my great stuff all the songs. Then we also have drawers of them here -- I mean, not here, but in Los Angeles. And they are all labelled. So we know where to go when we're looking -- you know, like with 'Annabel Lee.' We found that in the demos."

The question is did Stevie & Chris keep their parents home after Barbara passed away..."The Vault" was most likely at her parents house along with all Stevie's stuff that her mom watched over...

How did find she out what songs her fans wanted? Did her assistant, aside from YouTube, do some research on this site?

From the 2 songs that we know are on there and the other projected one"Gypsy Beggar" it doesn't seem like anyone did much lurking on this site.Of course there are still 13 others that we don't know yet.

When Stevie first spoke about her new album, she noted that she recorded 17 or 18 of the 25 songs she brought to Nashville. So based on Dave's most recent tweet, it sounds like either Stevie had a poor recollection of how many songs they actually recorded, or they ultimately decided to mix and master only 16 songs, even though they recorded more. Which would be a shame.

Separately, here's a 2011 interview where Stevie talks about her song vault.

MORE: In an interview I did with you previously, you said that you saved all your old tapes from when you were writing or working on songs.

Stevie Nicks: I do. Two songs for this record were pulled right off of old cassettes. "Annabelle Lee" was pulled off of a demo I did in about 1995, and "Secret Love"--the single--was pulled from a demo from a cassette that I wrote in 1976.

More: You must be really organized to be able to find that.

SN: I'm not, but the people who have worked for me have been very organized. I bought a house in Phoenix in 1978 and from 1978 on, we have what we call "The Song Vault.” It’s a storage unit that's temperature controlled, and it's several big armoires that are shelf after shelf after shelf of everything from collections of tapes that I used to make-- that people make now for their iPods—to collections that I play when I'm on the road, starting when I first joined Fleetwood Mac. So I have all the old collections of whatever songs were hits at the time, and then there's just everything else I liked.

Can anyone else hear these lyrics?

I think I hear -

I would follow you anywhere

I don't care

What would life be without you?

Have we not learned to not take what Stevie says too seriously when she references numbers (and dates)? She tends to over exaggerate. 200 demos in Stevie math probably equates to 20 to 40 at the most.

Wow! I can't relate that to any of the "vault songs" we are familiar with.

I could be wildly speculating here - but it feels like to me this is a new section she may have written of "This is My Cross to Bare"

Stevie says twice in the video "I didn't care" and "I don't care" - there's a lot of "care" in the demo - maybe she rewrote it?


This Is My Cross to Bare
(Jam Session )
I know your hope is gone away, All I know is a rainy day
Baby come and fly(?) away, I know you've got something on your back
This is my cross to bare, This is my cross to bare,
I know your hope is gone away, Died off….died away.
Well you can go and chatter(?) all day,
'Cause you've got something on him, Oh yeah… This is my cross to bare…..bare, This is my cross to bare, Oh baby, Everyone is gone away
Very gone, Everyone is gone, This is my cross to bare, Oh baby
This is my cross to bare, This is my cross to bare, This is my cross to bare
When you just don't care, This is my cross to bare,
I know this girl is always sad, I can't sleep cause you can't hide
But I know if you look inside, You will find everything is alright
Yeah… This is my cross to bare, This is my cross to bare,
This is my cross to bare, Everything is alright baby,
At least somebody cares, Even though you don't…. That's right…
This is my cross to bare, When you just don't care,
You don't know me right, You told me it would be alright
You know that? You don't know me no more. At least somebody cares…
And you know you're on your own.. ..to carry it all.
At least somebody cares.. This is my cross to bare…
This is alright….this is alright… At least somebody cares…
At least somebody cares… This is my cross to bare..
At least somebody cares… At least somebody cares…
At least somebody cares… At least somebody cares… Oh yeah….

Yes and actually ballads are what I live for. Trying to stay positive about this project. Not engaged at all by any snippets yet. Not at all.

Wow I thought I had heard everything that was out there at some point and don't recognize that last one at all...It does sound like a pretty good rocker though.

I think this might be a new one. And I concur on the wow. She's shaking her finger at us so I hope we'll get treated to this one live.
