Rumors

My favorite song on that album.
I watched him giving an interview recently He mentioned that he met a lady while on the road after breaking up with Stevie, ' never going back' was a reference to his feelings about not going back to her again. Not sure how that worked out for him though because in the latest version from Live in Boston there is an extra "been down " in it . It has "been down three times"
Anyhoo good job :)


Thanks <3 one of my favorites too. Besides landslide

Did miss it or you forgot "Silver Springs" one of my favs.

I love the album and Stevie Nick's voice- saw her a few times -great shows even though at the time she was completely off her nut on coke..:-) I have chosen "Go your own way"...
Thank's

My Almost..kept going


Time passes, unrestrained
I nearly loved you
beyond your pain

Travel onward
You nomad named never
go gallantly, embracing
the refrain of forever

Permanence departs
In waste- takes comfort...
My disillusioned yesterday
My almost lover

Gypsy, "Silver Springs" didn't make it on to the original Rumors album.It was added on a remastered version of Rumors in 2004.
sorry 'bout overlooking it.

I'll add it in on the top though if anyone would like to use it.

miki,

excellent entry there, nice one.

Stevie had/has a great voice, I think Rhiannon was  one of the best she sang.  Christine a'int a bad singer either in fairness.

From Stevie's perspective. The Chain.


as the insipid dark descends
through my eyes, through my heart
the blandness sours bitter edges
that smell like lies, hurt like a love
that cannot be returned

we don't talk but I hear
your promises are thudding arrows
with gold and green fletching
into the ear of every breath that you stole

your promises are arrows
tipped and gleaming, gleaming
like every snapped link
and now pierce through each memory
of the breaths that you stole
but this song seeps out from this chasm
and I'm grateful for that
if nothing else

Mr A , just saw this now. great stuff man. great song.
first bass line I learned to play, probably destroyed the ears of the neighbors.

goes to show what a band can do when they work well, I think there's the guts of three different songs in there.

anyhoo It's late here so if it's ok I'll sort out the trophy in the morning.

thanks for all the entries, they are all worthy of one.  

This is the part I hate, awarding a trophy.

Eamonn. sorry man your poem was shit.made all the more shit by the quality of all the poems under yours....you are special though, let's hope you get to swim with the dolphins at some stage.


Magdalena. It takes a confidence to post a different version  of someone's writing under the writing. your confidence was justified. It's a great poem. runner up


Strider. you got the feel for the song and wrapped it into
your own words, your words lost none of the cynicism or desperation embodied in her song. great stuff man. runner up


Just__Gigi. ahh, my favorite song. you say you wrote it quick? you should go writing more quick poetry. you done a great job.

"It's still over for me  
I've been" done this before  
I have no will to do it anymore "   fabulous.

mikimoondancer. A wonderful poem worthy of being added into the original. sad resignation woven throughout. well done missus.

Mr A.. Great stuff altogether. and the winner of the trophy. nice one man. fair play.


This was a hard decision, all the entrants were well written and within the parameters of the rules.

thank you all for participating.

Eamonn.  

Cheers, Eamon. I actually really liked yours, had a certain musicality what fitted well. Excellent entries here which makes my star shine a little bit brighter, like a Christmas tree. :)
