All These Years

[SillyDreamer]

Does anybody know anything concrete about Stevie's demo "All These Years"? I just gave it a listen for the first time in about a year, and it took my breath away. I'm not usually a fan of the bulk of her demo meanderings--I often find them rather forgettable--but this one struck me as quite sad and haunting. Was the track written by her? I thought maybe it was one Mike Campbell sent her, since it didn't sound like her usual synth demo fare. I even like the vocal (and this is why I'm not sad she never chose to record it... because I'm sad to say I think I wouldn't enjoy it much in her current voice), she sounds young and innocent--almost recalling the much earlier Rhiannon piano demo.


What does everyone think of this song?


(with all that said, All These Years just ended and "Love Don't Fail Me Now" came on--another forgotten favorite!)

I like Love Don't Fail Me Now....I wish it would have been on the OSOTM album or at least a B-Side that was more polished

I don't know anything about it, just that I first heard it in the early 1990s when Debbie Peterson sent it to me on an old tape.

I really, really, really, really, really love it.

Thanks so much... just when I think I MUST have them all.. another song turns up!!

She sounds very very sad.

"I have to see her again..."

"My best friend after all this time..
You have run away again."

It may be because I also discovered the City of Hope demo this week, but is this about Robin too?? Or Sara? running away to be with Mick.

She sounds rather.. stuffed up shall we say. It's definitely an early 80s demo, isn't it?

Anyway, I like this song. I am so thankful for all these demos and for all of you who post them.. I have listened to all the released stuff so much, and I do love the feeling as you get to know a Stevie song... the second time, third etc you listen to it and get to know it. It is a great thing

All I've read about this song(which I like) is that it is about Robin.
