Gold Dust Woman
Great song...rather haunting, but great...

"Gold Dust Woman"
by stevie nicks.

Rock on- gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
And dig your grave

Heartless challenge
Pick your path and Ill pray

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise- loves- to go down
Lousy lovers- pick their prey
But they never cry out loud

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now- do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

Rock on- ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now- do you know how
Pickup the pieces and go home.

5. Vocals and keyboards.
We played Toad's Place in New Haven a great deal. Opened for a young unknown named Bruce something or other once. :rofl:

Nice guy. Extremely nice guy, actually.

10. I'm seeing Stevie next weekend.
Hopefully the show won't be canceled. It at the Greek Theater right near the fires this week. So far they've moved concerts set for this week. I'm still waiting to hear what's the scoop.

12. "...So I'll begin not to love you....turn around and see me running..."
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me
No
And don't say that she's pretty
and did you say that she loves you
Baby, I don't want to know...



This song got me through a broken heart many years ago. These lines ran through my head day and night for months!

Love Stevie!!! :loveya:

11. Thanks
I had to read the lyrics of "Sisters of the Moon" again.

Interesting.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yQgiznVzh2Q

Written by Stevie Nicks.


Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me

And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel

She asked me
Be my sister, sister of the moon
Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
They like to wrap her in velvet
Does anyone know her name?

My sister told me a physician warned Stevie Nicks she would lose her voice if she continued singing...and that was over 20 years ago! She's a survivor, alright. I guess it's her strength I find most appealing! :hi:

16. a-ha...
actually I was not clear: I was using "salt" (aka 'salty') to mean emotionally-charged and not altogether kind...pointed, sharp.

Stevie's voice sounds like a diamond (clear, bright) in those vintage years, and I was mistaken to imply otherwise.

:blush:

20. It's a beautiful, haunting song alright.
This is one of my favorites from Stevie Nicks.

I try to sing along, then try the harmony.

I'm driving my cats nuts!

Their hearing is VERY sensitive.

(Stop it, Please! Stop it!):rofl:

21. That's so funny you would say that...
...because my cats are the only beings on the face of this planet who love to hear me sing! It's one of life's great mysteries! LOL!

:rofl:

23. ROFL!

Maybe they're just giving me a hard time!

One of my guys, Darwin, looks just like one of
your kitties. He's a long haired solid black kitty.

His brother, Nemo is solid black, but short haired.

;-) I'm going to try it again in a few minutes!

32. Right now, two are enough for me.
Edited on Fri May-11-07 11:05 PM by Kajsa
We have a neighbor's cat who wants to move in
but my two have a big problem with it.

He hangs out outside.
We've ended up feeding him, too.

Yeah, we're a bunch of softies when it comes to critters.

;-)

I've got to sign off for the night.

Goodnight. :hi:
