Favorite lines from Storms or HAEWAFY

Vianna · #1 01-10-2005, 09:27 AM

Here I am at this again=:-)

Here are mine:

...I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I've always been a storm, always been a storm
I have always been a storm

Every day you do not come
Your softness fades away

We were frail
She said
"Everynight he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us...
And not all the prayers in the world -- could save us

Question: Somebody who has the alternate version where somebody sings "Save us" real loud-is it Stevie singing that on another track or is it Lindsey? I've never been able to tell..

HAEWAFY:

In all your darkest hours did you ever hear me sing?
Listen to me now
Don't you know I'd rather be alone than be without you?

I have, I have given that to you, if it's all I ever do
This is your song

Poet priest of nothing legend and the way this fades out

Storms

"Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test"

"And I did not deal with you I know
Though the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win"

HAEWAFY

"Did you ever give it back?
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song"

Wow - I can honestly say that ALL lines from those two songs are amazing...

Both songs have incredibly special and personal meaning for me...

I do think the "NEver have a been a blue calm sea, I've always been a storm" is an incredibly beautiful line..LOVE IT!!

So if I had to pick one out that'd probably be it...

As for HAEWAFY...

"You know I'd rather be alone than be without you...."

Hard - those are probably two of my favorite Stevie songs

well, I love every line from Storms, so i can't really pick.
and i don't really like HAEWAFY, so, although i know there are many beautiful lines, i'm sure, I can't remember all the words...

And not all the prayers in the world could save us.

Ditto

And I like the live versions where she goes "...and I thought there was a connection....." "Sing for him" on Red Rocks gets me everytime, too.

That is mine for "Storms" as well.

As for HAEWAFY, I'd say:
"And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you every day
If not for me
Then do it for the world"

Same here.

About HAEWAFY, I don't like it much on the record, but live is beautiful, my favourite lines:

"So if not for me, then, do it for yourself,
if not for me well, do it for the world.

And when they ask her about the men in her life,
she says well they were poets, and yet they were priests of nothing,
but they were legends..."

I agree with everything you said. I love all of Storms (though the "prayers" line is a bit too negative even for me) and while I don't care for HAEWAFY, there are some good lines in it.

My favorite from Storms is the I try to say goodbye my friend, I'd like to leave you with something warm, but never have I been a blue calm sea, I've always been a storm. I used that as my senior quote in my high school year book. They said to say something to leave the school with or a goodbye to your classmates and all that crap...I had nothing good to say to any of those b!tches, so that line about summed it up!

Storms is one of my favorite songs ever so its difficult to pick a favorite line. I really love
"every night you do not come, your softness fades away" and
"save us...not all the prayers in the world could save us"
The whole song is just gorgeous.

I have never been much of a fan of HAEWAFY. I know that is shocking as so many people love it but I just am not a fan. I do like the ending live when she says/sings "and when they ask her about the men in her life..and they do ask her..she says, they were poets, yet they were priests of nothing, they were legends". Very cool. Still the song is a bit too mushy for me, especially knowing the story behind it. Her voice is a powerful thing and can heal alot of emotions, but the loss of your only child will take much more than "listening" to Stevie's voice. I think that is why I do not connect with the song all that much. I do LOVE LOVE LOVE the live Woodstock 98 version. She really let go, allowed her emotions to flood out and that did touch me deeply.

Storms:
"Every hour I feel I've spent, my body tries to cry"
"Living through each empty night, a deadly calm inside"

HAEWATFY: (From Storytellers)
"And when they ask her about the men in her life and they do ask her."
"She says well, they were poets, and yet they were priests of nothing, but they were legends."

:little teary on that one:
