Waiting For Stevie

[stip]

honestly while i love all of this, i think i am more excited for the core song than the climax

[stip]

also there appear to be two bridges

[stip]

Okay, this will be irrelevant in a little more than 12 hours, but I am moved to try and transcribe the lyrics to this one (and I have so much work I should be doing instead)

Please edit/add as you can


You can be loved by everyone
And not feel, not feel love
You can be told by everyone
And not hear a word from above

Swallowed up by the sound
Cutting holes in the ?crowds?
Finds herself in the song
Hears her own voice rising

(EDITORIAL NOTE - I WAS JUST DEEPLY MOVED BY THAT LAST COUPLET. I HOPE THAT'S RIGHT)

You can be loved by everyone
And still not feel, not feel your love
You can relate but still ?can't stop?
Or conquer fear. You are what you're not

???????
?????????
To find relief
And escape your blame

Words her follow her down
Needs to shake them off ?now?
This god forsaken town
Don't deserve her anyhow

Calling on a messenger
Waiting on a phrase
That she can trust a messenger
???????

You can be loved by everyone
And not feel, feel love
You can be told to not give up
And still not hear a word from above

You can take
Or give what you got
These are the fear
You are what you're not

You can be loved by everyone
And not feel, feel loved

[stip]

there are some nice lines in there, but tonight, coming from Eddie, they feel like gospel

You can be loved by everyone

You can relate but still ?can't stop?
Or conquer fear. You are what you're not

You have to take
An act of faith
To find relief

"Calling on a messenger
Waiting on a phrase
That she can trust a messenger
For her love, her love "

Remember it from the movie theater last night, great line

[Strat]

Only 1 listen but biggest letdown and i blame all the hype. Still was really fucking awesome though? Looking forward to working through it quite a bit more.

Mike is shredding all over this album but i wouldnt say he has very memorable solos? At least not yet, perhaps.

This outro could have maybe benefited from crafting some sort of beginning, middle, and end as far as the solo goes.

I originally had clouds, but then I recall one of the interviews/reviews having Ed say that this was at least partially about a girl at a show having a moment. Anyone else remember this?

I think I remember Clouds from the lyrics in the cinema…but could be wrong. On Watts interview he talked about Ed developing some kind of lyrics about Stevie Nicks relashionship with her band…or Lindsey…

Will try to find the exact quote, and some of the story there to see if we can frame this.

[stip]

clouds is plausible. it's where I was at first

I wonder if some don't stand out because our cup runneth over.


Honestly for this one I think the song prior to the mike climax is the best part

[unLEASHed]

The title “Waiting for Stevie” really jumped out at people. I don’t know what it’s about, but it feels like it’s someone waiting for Fleetwood Mac to take the stage at a show.

“That’s a really great story about that, which I really, really feel like Ed’s got to tell you. But it definitely is about waiting for Stevie. We just started messing around, doing what two guys with guitars do, and that song was born. That was one of the songs we recorded at the old studio house.”

I might have crossed my wires…its from the guy interviewing Watt…He doesnt really clarify that much.

[unLEASHed]

Elsewhere in the interview, Vedder opens up about a number of Dark Matter songs. He describes the cut “Waiting for Stevie” as being about “a young girl not feeling appreciated by her peers, who finds relief and connection in music at a show.”

thats the quote you were refering to

[stip]

yes, it was! thanks That's where I got crowd - especially with the lyrics that follow. But I HEARD cloud first (for all Mr. Vedder's annunciation is worth)

[unLEASHed]

someone recorded the videos with the lyrics…I think…maybe we can pull from there. Its all lost now on the 500 plus pages

[Revelator]

also there appear to be two bridges

I thought I caught this last night too at the theater. Anxiously awaiting my next proper listen on Friday. Loving the lyric interpretations here. For such an uplifting 'sounding' record these some of Ed's most insightful yet world weary, dare I say darker, lyrics in years.

[Tj]

Seems like he is maybe playing with the Landside lyric a bit and theme of her song Storm

[injuddstree]

This song is massive. Fucking. Massive.

Did not think they had this left in them.

Be mighty

There’s other stuff in there, but I can’t make it out.
