Rediscovering Stevie songs: Any older songs grown on you lately?

ERigby818 · #1 05-25-2003, 03:02 PM

I am totally obsessed with Sable On Blonde and Imperial Hotel right now. I think I heard some demos recently and I went back and listened to these great album songs and now I have totally rediscovered these classics and they have grown on me in a way that they never did before. Can anyone relate?

Great minds think alike. I was totally jamming in my head to Imperial Hotel right before I read this and was thinking it was time to haul out RAL again!!!!!!!

Actually for once for me, not at the moment. I had leant Say You Will to a friend and just got it back on Thursday, so that's been playing and playing and playing. Strangely enough, a few days before I asked for it back I couldn't find much to listen to...and I think it was just because I wanted to hear the SYW songs so much again, lol. I did, however, give If I Were You many whirls in the cd player, as well as a few Bella Donna and VBOFM listens.

I never payed many attention to it before, but now I do think that "Kind Of Woman" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded. Seriously. I'm just in love with that song.

Song of the moment - Remember Me

I've been listenign to VBOFM in it's entirety. I keep hearing little things that I nver heard before. As far as Imperial Hotel, I love that song. "You know where she lives.."

Do you all think the "friend" she is talking to in Imperial Hotel that is "across the same (or as some say "stained") glass table" is Tom Petty. I have always thought so but it is just a feeling as I have nothing to support it with.

Here is the full lyric

She sits across the table...the same glass table
Cries to her friend...why am I so alone
He says, wo baby, baby, baby, baby
This is the path you have chosen
She probably goes under another name
Well, that's a good idea

I have been listening to OSOTM like crazy. I really love that album so much.

That and RAL I listen to way more than BD or WH, it's strange. I listen to them more than TISL. I can't listen to TISL right now because its too close to SYW. Weird?

But OSOTM, its so underrated. It really is a magic album!

This is my favorite song off BD album.

I first heard that and fell in love at first listen. I think its simply gorgeous...and it's simple, her voice is dead on and and its so emotional.

When I heard she wrote this because Lindsey was away doing his thing and she was left at home, it really became that much more beautiful to me. I totally agree!

I've been listening to my Belladonna album alot.

I also have been listening to "Sleeping Angel" - I don't know why I never really listened to this song before - it's so beautiful.

Ive been freaking on ANGEL lately... cant get enough of it, either live or on my demo disk from Tusk Take II.

blackdove · #13 05-28-2003, 09:35 AM

I just LOVE Angel and very often it pops into my head for no reason at all and I just HAVE to start singing it out loud.....especially in the shower...must be something about the acousitics.

I know that Stevie loves to sing in the bathroom too cause of the sound it gives you...LOL

But the old Stevie song I'm into at the moment is Sleeping angel...just perfect Stevieness!

Love and happiness from Sarah

I actually just discovered the song Battle of the Dragon this past week. I mean, I had heard it before but it was always a skipper for some reason. But a few days ago I had Enchanted #3 spinning, and my roommate walked in and BOTD came on, and he remarked on what a beautiful song it was (he's a passive Stevie/FM fan) and I don't know what happened, but when he said that, something in me clicked. And all of othe sudden, I was like, Yeah, this is a great song. Now I've been playing it non-stop, and I can't figure out why I used to skip it! It's weird how one stupid comment could change the way I think about it.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I'm really lovin' me some OSOTM as well. How great are Juliet, Fire Burning, Rooms on Fire, and one of my very favorites, Ghosts!?!?

So long ago, I was an innocent
It had nothing to do with age...

Would she PLEASE do some songs from OSOTM on her next solo tour! (I'm dreaming', I know)
