Crying Over Stevie- Yeah, that's Normal

jannieC · #1 09-11-2006, 07:32 PM

Okay, I'm right in the middle of writing a massive paper, but I want to stop for a minute because I had a major geek Stevie moment earlier today that only a Ledgie could appreciate (and don't worry- I'm not writing my paper with such run-a-long sentences

).

So, I was driving to school listening to Red Rock's Beauty and the Beast. I was totally absorbed and thinking how PERFECT this song is, when she got to this part:

"If you know tell her...tell her now..."

and then the "Aaaaaaaaaaaah" after that and...

I started bawling.

(Amber, are you here?)

Does this ever happen to you? Listening to her and remembering how passionate she was and that one note just had me crying. Now, I may have been overly emotional because of the date today, but this kind of happens to me at other times as well (listening to certain live songs, watching certain performances). What is it about this woman that she has the ability to bring out so much emotion in me over songs that I have been listening to for like, 20 years?

Okay, back to my paper. Thanks for not telling me I'm a freak.

...Been there, done that - especially with THAT song. You're not a freak.

I've done it with live tracks, especially recordings of shows I'd been to and it takes me back. Plus if I'm PMSing it happens even easier!

Good luck with your paper!

You are not a freak! I completely understand. Especially that part of the song. Desert Angel has actually done that to me a few times ...

Every time, dear. In fact, I just heard the piano demo for Silver Springs that Chris posted in the SS thread - tears. Such a young high Stevie voice. And with almost no piano, such a beautiful melody she made up. It's weird how she barely knows any chords but comes up with so many different kinds of songs.

Storms & Beautiful Child get me every time...

I bawl my eyes out every time to "Beauty and the Beast" - I also well up to "China Doll", and I always cry to "Ghosts" (which speaks to me in a very personal way)...

oh god, yes, China Doll.

Well I was in the car once driving up the ring road through town and I had my MP3 player on random and Spin Doctors had just been on. Anyway, on blurts Sara. I turned it up and was singing away with it. That got me going "SSSSAAAARRRRRRAAAAAA, YOU'RE THE POET IN MY HEART" oh and yes BATB does it too "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'VE CCCCHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNGED"

if I had a nickel for everytime i wept to BaTB, I would be having nickel soup every night.

I can not often get through the "you'll become his legacy" part on Insider, Live, but if I do it doesn't matter b/c I'll lose it on the the "Weooohhhhaaitheone whoouttaknooooww!" in the third and second verse. It's just too pretty and amazing.
And many others, naturally.

I'm sorry, mate. You are a freak.

But don't worry, we're all freaks on this board.

this is something hard to admit, but every time I start listening to angel I get teary eyed. I don't know. It's not like it makes me sad-it's just a reflex. whatever *L*

silver springs, beauty and the beast, storms, Love is, I miss you, etc. etc it goes on and on

I'm also PMS'ing
