Wow! Ya know there were 3 test pressings on vinyl. The almost 17 minute one. She gave one to me and signed it saying "here is our song, Sara. It started out 17 minutes long and we knew I couldn't bring it in the studio like that, Lindsey would not have it. Thank you for helping me . We cut it down and now its finished. You have one, I have one and I have one." Then she signed it "Kay". She was Kay and I was Sera. Kay Sera Sera, what ever will be will be. In 1994 it was stolen from me. :(
It takes a lot of talent to hear a rough sound like this and turn it into a REAL song that people respond to positively and love! I'm impressed on so many levels. This is one my favorites, and it's interesting to hear how rough and unformed it sounded in the beginning.
what is it that she says about a baby there in the end, i ahve tried many times to listen closley and to understand what she say but i cant, if any you can i would love to hear what you think she is saying there at the end of this vid when she is talking. the hidden story of sara...
@leafjlr333 It sounds like she's saying, Phil Specter, and "be my baby". The lyrics to the Ronnettes biggest hit, "Be my baby." May have been considering Phil Specter's legenday "wall of sound" when he was recording artists back in the 60s.
I'm more than sure Stevie has the 16+ minute version locked away somewhere safe. As noted many, many times in the past it is her private version not intended for the public. I doubt anyone will ever hear it except for those closest to Stevie.
I have somewhere around 40 different versions of Sara the longest being a very rare 12 minute 14 second version that has a few new lyrics and altered lyrics in it. I posted it on youtube once but Warner Brothers pulled it within a month.
is there any way you could send me and mp3 of it?? i would be endlessly greatful. i am hopelessly in love with this song... i need more. if it is possible for you to send it to me, i would love for you to email. my email is leafjlr@gmail. thankyou so much, if you can :)
Regardless of the sound quality (this is a demo) this is a spectacular version.....and it shows how many demos and hard work it takes just to get 1 song on a album/CD....or it used to anyway when they had musicians.....thanks for the post That Texas dude
I don't think the 16 minute version will ever be released...Stevie has always said this is one of her most personal songs. For a long time, she wouldn't even sing it on tour. Regardless, it's a gorgeous song.
going to see stevie 6/28 at jones beach... would LOVE if she sang sara... unlikely though... has anyone else heard rumblings of a 2009 fleetwood mac reunion tour??
I WISH fleetwood mac would go on tour. Ive seen Stevie once and it was absolutely one of the greatest highlights of my life. So, how was the concert in June?
Fleetwood Mac is scheduled for tour 2009 I have a for sure source! The last tour I saw them at was the "Say You Will" and that rocked!Did you get to see Stevie on Sound Stage? DVD is for sale from PBS for 19.99 excellent must have for all fans! DJ,DEB 11/15/08
Will Christie McVie be with them? I hope so. This maybe the last tour and I hope she rejoins the lineup!!! Please Christie come back, when you were out the last time it was Fleetwood Mac without one of it's limbs!
Its a kitty is me, Sara Fleetwood
