Blue Lamp

I am sort of late to this. I've had Enchanted for years but never noticed this song until now. WOW!!!! This is my new favorite song. I love the lyrics and music. Upstairs, big old house is mine! And then how the lyrucs just kind of quickly fade out at the end. Just a very cool song. Anyone know what year this was recorded?

It's from the Heavy Metal Soundtrack - I think 1981 release. (Recorded in BD days??)

I'm not nuts about all the lyrics, but I love the melody & her vocal & phrasing. My favorite part is the last few lines - wish it were longer - And the light that shines, etc.

My favorite part too...

For some reason it sounded like it could have been Late 80's early 90's Stevie (in a way) but still sounded like early 80's Stevie. Normally I can pinpoint an exact year with her voice, but sometimes a song can throw me for a loop.

No, her voice there matches the Bella Donna album exactly, IMO. TOSOTM, Mask, & TimeSpace voice was not as great as that earlier voice.

Yup, now that I'm listening to it I can see that. Her voice is great in this song! I think I'm really excited because I just haven't heard a new Stevie song in a long time... because the song is like new to me even though I have had it for years I never thought anything of it.

This was the very first thing she tracked (as opposed to just doing demos with Tom Moncrief or the Tom Pettybreakers in 1979 & 1980) as a solo artist, according to her. It was recorded in late 1980 & early 1981.

I like that song too. I love the ending where she says "And the light that shines thru the shining night is the lamp that I carried from my mothers home..." Probably the best part of the song, and its the fading ending! =)

"Blue Lamp", "Gold and Braid", and "Sleeping Angel" all should have been on Bella Donna.

Ah - I thought maybe this thread was about the actual blue lamp

The song took a while to grow on me - I really didn't like it at first, it's still not one of my favorites - but I do enjoy it. The actual lamp, on the other hand, I love!

Dreammms · #13 07-20-2005, 10:54 AM

Blue Lamp is one of my favorites. I too love the ending part and wish it didn't fade out like that.

ELIUD · #14 07-20-2005, 11:15 AM

My favorite part is the "ooh ooooh... yeeeahhhh.... ooh ooohhh... yeeeeahhh..."

I don't like this song one bit.

I'm one of the few people who doesn't like most of Enchanted Disk 3 (with the exception of a few songs).
