Wild Heart - Can't Go Back

DownOnRodeo · #1 11-14-2003, 06:35 PM

This has probably been brought up at some point, but does anyone else notice the striking similarity between the music for Wild Heart and Can't Go Back. ie Play the outro to Can't Go Back. It is the music to Wild Heart.

Hi Joe,

Have you ever heard the "Wild Heart" "demo" that's floating around out there? It was recorded while Stevie was getting her makeup applied for a Rolling Stone photo shoot, and she's singing along to the instrumental track for "Can't Go Back."

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I do... blame it on my wild heart...."

Her voice is glorious in that video. And yes, WH does sound like CGB. I'm sure Linsdey doesn't mind.

Ahh! See I haven't got the WH album yet, so all I've heard is that backstage demo. The video is available now at the All The King's Horses dload site. I thought the music was extremely similar if not lifted! That explains a lot

I actually haven't got a solo Stevie yet, but from what I've heard I think I'm going to get the Wild Heart first.

For all we know Can't Go Back could have been born from Stevie's music.

You know I have to wonder if Stevie's life is still as much fun as clearly indicated in this vdeo. I mean they are having a blast!!!!!!!

Also, I love Stevie to death, but why doesn't her voice always sound that good. I mean she did not sound as good as she sounds in this amateur video in the Bella Donna concert video which was professionally recorded and then produced.

I know

like on the Tusk Doc. when she's talking to Christine, Lindsey, and the producers, and singing bits of Angel, she sounds so, different, and pretty, than usual.

I know she sounds great at the piano with LB but then in the live take her voice is so low and, please do not kill me

, flat. I am always like where the hell is the voice we just heard three seconds ago on the tape. I realize the live performace was probably taped two years after the studio part and that she experienced vocal problems on that huge tour. But, the difference is so drastic it kind of boggles my mind

You're working backwards! (In that fans are usually familiar with the album version of it first, before they hear the demo.)

I don't hear any remnants of "Can't Go Back" in the "Wild Heart" album version, but it's always been VERY interesting to me that that's how the song began life.

I do remember Stevie saying that she had been writing the song back and forth in car rides to the studio, so I wonder if she had a melody in her head that ended up fitting with what Lindsey was composing, and that's why she then started using his instrumental track to sing along with. Or if Lindsey started working on an instrumental track based around her melody, but then they splintered off into two separate songs.
Similar to what happened when his instrumentation for her "Juliet" became "Book Of Miracles."

It's one of those "which came first, the chicken or the egg" kind of things!

And Joe, 'The Wild Heart' is my favorite Stevie album (followed closely by 'Trouble In Shangri-La' and 'Rock A Little'), so I highly recommend it.
That was an amazing period in Stevie's career.

In the Rolling Stone photoshoot video, she also says he wrote/cpmposed/etc. Enchanted in a limo on the way to, I think, Long Island. I wonder if that was the same series of limo rides?

As an aside, when Stevie drops to lower a register in this video (around and after 1:09) she is glowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is this from? Is it a bootleg? Also, does anyone know what the text is in the beginning few seconds. I cannot read

At the very end, it loks like they are cutting to an interview where Stevie is sayin "When I started . . . ."

Well for starters, it must be easier to belt out a snippet of a song in isolation than halfway through an entire concert of songs.

I do not know - she has a great voice (esp. then) and other singers with pipes like that seem to be able to do it. Also, in the Rolling Stone photo shoot video, she is belting away throughout a lot of the shooting as they were playing music (some her music, some FM, and some other stuff like the Stones). Again, she sounded glorious.

Note: I am not slamming Stevie - I mean I would pay to hear her read the phone book out loud

I am just noting the very very obvious difference in these vocals.

J. Stew -

Do we know the date for the R.S. Cover shoot? Isn't this about two years before the lyrics to Wild Heart were copyrighted? I know that Stevie writes so much that alot of the copyrights do not match up for when she actually wrote it . . . but it just seemed to be a different time frame.

The issue containing the results of the Rolling Stone photo shoot is dated September 3, 1981. So, the shoot probably was Mid-Summer.

Also, she talks about Enchanted and sings it in the final harmony parts with the girls. So, it ws prtty much in final form. Also, Stevie said that Enchated and Destiny are pretty much from the same long poem, which she apparently began writing in the early70' s Destiny has a 1873 or so date on it.

Also, if I remember correctly, in the video Stevieis singing to what sunds like the final version of Wish You Were Here by CM, which had not been released yet. So, apparently it had been considered for Tusk.
