What a beautiful vocal performance. Stevie needs to collect these demos and release them on an album. Too many people made money off her back with those - now SHE should.
Nancy Wilson (Heart) & Stevie Nicks down packed image and raw talent! They inspire all true artists!!!!!! These womens voices are haunting & so entertaining...goose bumps
These beautiful women could rock your mind hard & make you cry with their ballards, both genres always had meaning, whether from own experience or knowledge, true entertainers! I wish I was blessed enough to cross their paths, no only for my own self but for my child who is 16 and just starting to appreciate real music! x
Whoever wrote this long dialogue about Stevie....well if you can find mine , you will see that I love her too .But , how can you be so insightful ? Are you sure you aren't writing about yourself or something ? I mean , are these facts , or your opinion , or your desires , or what ? Not meant to hurt your feelings at all...I just wonder ....??? How can you know so much ???
Again, this demo is better than what was finally put out by the record company. In my humble opinion, the song needed some minor tweaks but he studio went way overboard.
This is at least as good as the final version. In some ways it's better. It would hurt everyone's ego but I'd love a full album of her demos for FM songs. While buckingham and FM gave her a lot (a name/platform from which to perform, confidence) she brought just as much to them.
This is so unbelievably awesome! I am near to sayin that it would have been much better if she had stayed on her own completely, just voice and piano and no such rockstar thing that nearly ruined her life.
i feel like this song sets me free inside, that voice runs over my soul, true heart at its best. stivie was about the music and true beauty rather than that hunger for lust and fame. times today are ever changing but not all changes are for the best, one day i hope to see more people like stivie taking the stage of our world today.
Yes. I agree. Stevie never exposed a lot of skin..she is classy. She dresses like someone out of the past and is mesmerizing. She moves like an angel. I am grateful I grew up in the times I did. What these young girls are exposed to now is truly sad.
OK, have ta weigh in. Gotta be my fav youtube. This song was also unique for me back when it was actually heard on the radio. Won't bore you w/saga of me working in lighting in LA and coming close to meeting the band and Courage (a manager) et al. It's possible this was written, in part, in a hotel outside Buffalo. Heard in a radio interview, would love to confirm that, as I'm from those parts. Love that they unearthed it for recent tour : ) Miss Christine though. Be good.
@LFNAnniversaryDVD go to a 'youtube to mp3' converter website and copy it from here! i don't usually, but it's the only way to get hold of this rare stevie stuff
Yep, incredible stuff.. gratitude to you for posting this classic masterpiece. Thanks, come hang out with us at Bella Czar1 anytime.. love to have ya. Peace.
Hermes Alchemist~ I ask oh so humbly to include myself in your kharma point post i i i after many lessons and years alone i also finally claim the freedom card as well...
And of course as a genie blue light gypsy I thank you~ blessings 13 fold .x 3 to you ..,'lol. And a very good dream come true!
She is always calling out to me. This song is another brilliant, unique and beautiful melody, it is another ballad. Why isn't this available on cd? Stevie? Your a capela (except for the piano) version of Sisters of the Moon has again sent to me a different time and place in my mind and you were with me all the way. Thanks to the person who supplied this lovely clip.
@GenSnow You choose well who you would talk to.....I have the same dream, with many people...but who knows....? Maybe Stevie would be just as thrilled to have tea with YOU...Or maybe I would be THRILLED to have tea with YOU....you rarely, definitely know who is gonna inspire you...that's why I like Stevie Nicks soooo much..the magic and the mystery.....clw
Lindsey Buckingham had always referred to Stevie's songs as raw.. and there is no doubt he created some remarkable music .. but this girl was his equal...
I remember from the impact that "Rumours" had on everyone in my year at school...
I really LOVE this version so VERY MUCH!!!! Just keep replaying it over and over !!! I LOVE YOU Stevie !!!! Thanks for your talent and great songs and beauty !!!!!!!
Intense silence as she walked in the room, Her black robes trailing, Sisters of the moon, 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're the most cruel, She asked me be my sister, Sister of the moon, So we make our choices when there is no choice The creative GENIUS of Stevie Nicks. Blessed be!
This song is amazing <3! If you love Stevie Nicks like I do, go on to Facebook and Like the page "Get Stevie Nicks on Oprah: The Farewell Season", or write to Oprah via email requesting it, and spred the news about it! Come on, let's get our Idol on Oprah!
I love this song. The first time I heard it I replayed it about twenty times. Such passion and her voice sounds amazing here. I can imagine her when she was younger singing this. I have always weanted to meet her as she is an idol of mine. But through her music I feel close to her relating to her through her songs . Thank you for sharing this song.
Stevie is a gifted songwriter and her voice is simply magical. I live this song everday. I know how it feels to be wrapped in "velvet robes of gloom." Thanks Stevie for this beautiful song. You captured how some of us feel even though it was about yourself. You are truly amazing.
Unreal!!!!!!! Where did you find this! The final recording is of course a masterpiece but amazing to hear her when she still had her full instrument. The most UNDERRATED American singer - a total original in a world full of that same RB derivative noise.
I'm 13 & am completely in love with Stevie Nicks. I so wish I was around to see fleetwood Mac in their prime. 60's, 70's & 80's stuff is so much better than the stuff today!
well not all of her fans are cruel to her i know i am not i love her music to much if she choose to leave rock and roll then i will accept it stevie nicks is one of the most giving singers in the world
where can i get a copy of this version i downloaded a live version from the tusk tour from limewire this is a great song and one of the many best ones from tusk
Flamingcrystal, you have the BEST posts - thank you. This is probably my favorite Stevie song - although it's difficult to choose. I love the lyrics left out of the Tusk version - "so we make our choices....ignoring our own voice." When my daughter Rhiannon was married last year, my son walked me down the aisle of the church to the song "Rhiannon". I've already told my son, husband and daughter, I want this version of Sisters played at my funeral - when the time comes that is!
Flamingcrystal, you have the best posts ever - thank you! It's hard to choose, but this is probably my favorite song by Stevie. I love the part not included in the Tusk version - "So we make our choices...ignoring our own voice"
At my daughter Rhiannon's wedding, my son brought me down the aisle of the church to "Rhiannon", the first song I loved by Stevie. I've already told my son, daughter and husband that when I die, "Sisters of the Moon" is what I want played at my funeral!
@rhiannon1984 I almost named my daughter Rhiannon,i wanted to really but the dad did not like it.I replied to you because I understood your devotion in general to Stevie or Fleetwood Mac,this is such a beautiful song that not many have heard or appreciate.I have my favs which are many.I love when she sings with her sister in law,it is on my channel.
Pretty much my favourite song by her. "Rhiannon" would be 2nd place. I love this version because it's just her and a piano and I love how her voice sounds in this recording. <3 <3 <3 Love you, Stevie!
I love her voice here also. The drugs, smoking, and alcohol will take a toll on your vocals. Most people have made fun of the fact she vibrates her vocals, but as a youth I have always loved that. A lady in my church sang like that as well, I loved her voice. Stevie Nicks is Queen and the ultimate sister of the moon. We all wish we could be her.
This is one of the most beautiful songs Stevie has done. Her voice is clear, sweet, and innocent. There's not many out there that could hold a candle to her! When you can sit alone, sing with only one instrument, and sound this good, it just shows how talented you really are. Even her high notes sound good. She never really needed anyone to sing along side her, & her aura has always been very, very, strong, & will always remain strong. SHE is addicting, just like the drugs she once took :)
Back in those days artists needed to be real good to sell records. Nowadays to be successful the bitches just need to grab a microphone, be or act as a slut, expose intimate parts and shake some ass on tv. Sad, sad, sad!!
Who are you people who keep posting these great demos? How did you come by them? We want to hear your stories! Mostly, whoever you are, we heart you, big time, lol!
WOW that was simply astonishing, one great version of one great singers greatest song, i never thought i would hear SOTM sung like that, Thanks to the post-er and thanks to Stevie Nicks
@aquaskates Lol That's weird. Gaga and Stevie are probably my favorites, but that's just..Wow. That's really..strange. XD Lady Gaga kind of reminds me of Cher, and Cher's got a few songs that remind me of Stevie, but I can't seem to find any similarities between Lady Gaga and Stevie Nicks. XD
@SnowWhiteQueen29 um that's nice that you have your own opinions but you don't need remake with some similiarity you find between gaga and cher. I think that they share similarities in how evolutionary they were in their times, and this song is about fame and it's toll on stevie's private life as can be compared to Lady Gaga's fame c.d or more specifically paparazi(sp?)
@aquaskates.this comment isn't to sound cruel i just thought i'd remark on the similarities so people will stop commenting on my opinion there's no way i'm changing it our taking it back :P peace.
@aquaskates Oh! I hadn't looked at it that way. I was thinking more of looks and performances, rather than the song meanings and whatnot. You're very right. =)
Awesome Stevie! Flaming Crystal...your commentary added depth to the video. Thank you for sharing this...oh my...almost TWO YEARS ago! May everyone have a groovy day! :) xoxo ;)
What a PERFECT version of this song....sing it Stevie !!!! I love you Thanks for the GREAT Music and your talent and beauty !!!!! This is Incredible !!!!!!
I love her. I've seen her in concert solo and with Fleetwood Mac very recently and she's still got it. I do wish that this song was part of the set list at one of those shows. It's definitely one of her best ones. Thank you for posting this!
Outstanding. I had the great good fortune of hearing the demo of Gypsy the night it was recorded shared as a gift by Stevie's former assistant, and was at the recording of Fireflies. I thought nothing would surpass those. This does.
Stevie taps into universal source that predates Rhiannon -- to Nix who arose in the chaos of the night.
THANKS for posting, Flaming Crystal. 1,000,000 good karma points and a "Get out of Purgatory Free" card for you.
When she did this, her voice was in top form....several years later it seemed like her delivery had become more mannered... more consistently nasal. Very nice demo.
I think I finally get that line "The people they loved her...they kept filling up her room." I remember she said she had a room in her house just filled with all the toys she got thrown at her in concerts etc... Wonder if that's what she meant...
Out of pain, comes the most beautiful art! Thanks so much for posting. Stevie is such a great song writer and singer. Her loneliness and heartbreak has created some of the best songs of all time. Sad for the pain she went through...but also very thankful to have the products of it!!!
Im trippin on this....I was trippin in75' but this blows my ever lovin mind...She is better than She could of ever known???? I wonder?... She came in at the right time.... 74/75'...A little Joni Mitchell type
This demo is just so beautiful, 'cause we get to hear Stevie, Stevie's real talent, simply. This thing shows how much she is great. I think that this song should have stayed as simple as that. Piano, and her AMAZING voice, and lyrics, and everything. I f*cking love 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?
"It is typical among big stars to feel isolated and alone, and the impact of the first years has to be the toughest." You're right flamingcrystal, fame was a golden prison for many stars who, fortunatly, had fans, but sometimes nobody else... so violent contrast. Hope time is now on her side...
She is still absolutely gorgeous.Sadly,she doesnt have any children who would have been able to carry on her genes and legacy...She is a beautiful lady and Stevie will live on forever.....
I love your anaylsis of Stevie's lyrics in your more information. Fantastic! However, don't feel so sorry for Stevie. Yes, it's sad she felt lonliness but all humans feel lonely sometimes. Even people who are married with kids kids feel lonely without friends at times. Stevie was loved by a whole generation of people more than any other female rocker, saw places no one else will see, and experienced fame and wealth few will ever know. So, let's not "cry for Stevie." She was loved & blessed.
What a beautiful vocal performance. Stevie needs to collect these demos and release them on an album. Too many people made money off her back with those - now SHE should.

@titodude: Nancy Wilson once said in an interview that "nowadays it's all about the image and no longer about the music".

@aquaskates Lol That's weird. Gaga and Stevie are probably my favorites, but that's just..Wow. That's really..strange. XD Lady Gaga kind of reminds me of Cher, and Cher's got a few songs that remind me of Stevie, but I can't seem to find any similarities between Lady Gaga and Stevie Nicks. XD
SnowWhiteQueen29 1 year ago
@SnowWhiteQueen29 um that's nice that you have your own opinions but you don't need remake with some similiarity you find between gaga and cher. I think that they share similarities in how evolutionary they were in their times, and this song is about fame and it's toll on stevie's private life as can be compared to Lady Gaga's fame c.d or more specifically paparazi(sp?)

I love her. I've seen her in concert solo and with Fleetwood Mac very recently and she's still got it. I do wish that this song was part of the set list at one of those shows. It's definitely one of her best ones. Thank you for posting this!

Outstanding. I had the great good fortune of hearing the demo of Gypsy the night it was recorded shared as a gift by Stevie's former assistant, and was at the recording of Fireflies. I thought nothing would surpass those. This does.
Stevie taps into universal source that predates Rhiannon -- to Nix who arose in the chaos of the night.
THANKS for posting, Flaming Crystal. 1,000,000 good karma points and a "Get out of Purgatory Free" card for you.
Namaste.

When she did this, her voice was in top form....several years later it seemed like her delivery had become more mannered... more consistently nasal. Very nice demo.

@kyegirl2001 I always assumed it was because her fame meant she was never on her own but your theory sounds much better.

I think I finally get that line "The people they loved her...they kept filling up her room." I remember she said she had a room in her house just filled with all the toys she got thrown at her in concerts etc... Wonder if that's what she meant...

Out of pain, comes the most beautiful art! Thanks so much for posting. Stevie is such a great song writer and singer. Her loneliness and heartbreak has created some of the best songs of all time. Sad for the pain she went through...but also very thankful to have the products of it!!!

This demo is just so beautiful, 'cause we get to hear Stevie, Stevie's real talent, simply. This thing shows how much she is great. I think that this song should have stayed as simple as that. Piano, and her AMAZING voice, and lyrics, and everything. I f*cking love Stevie Nicks !

"It is typical among big stars to feel isolated and alone, and the impact of the first years has to be the toughest." You're right flamingcrystal, fame was a golden prison for many stars who, fortunatly, had fans, but sometimes nobody else... so violent contrast. Hope time is now on her side...
Thanks

I love your anaylsis of Stevie's lyrics in your more information. Fantastic! However, don't feel so sorry for Stevie. Yes, it's sad she felt lonliness but all humans feel lonely sometimes. Even people who are married with kids kids feel lonely without friends at times. Stevie was loved by a whole generation of people more than any other female rocker, saw places no one else will see, and experienced fame and wealth few will ever know. So, let's not "cry for Stevie." She was loved & blessed.
