Stevie Nicks singing Beauty&The Beast for the first time

Beauty and the beast first take, Stevie tells about the inspiration for this song and then plays it on the piano.

The original lyrics (that she sings here) go something like this:

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave

My love lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise

Oh who is the beauty who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I could die in your shadow I believe

My love is a man who's not been tamed
My love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from different worlds we are the same
I never doubted your beauty I've changed
I never doubted your beauty I've changed
I've changed

Only Stevie could right such a beautiful song. She is the best song writer out there.

i love what she's saying about the film because i hate the end too. for those who don't know, the beast (who is really stunning, looks like a lion and a tiger at the same time) turns back into a man and he looks very overdone and made up and silly.

WOW! When do you ever get to hear the roots of a song. Just beautiful! Thanks for posting.

@ezahnle07 Two different artists from different genres and different eras... Stevie isn't a pop performer and Madonna isn't a rock star. I'm not sure how Madonna prevents Stevie from getting the credit she deserves. This isn't Cyndi Lauper we're talking about.

Amazing...Stevie never got the credit she deserves. She is the best, better than madonna or anyother femal artist of our generation.

When Stevie Nicks sings this song she reaches a channel and level of greater heights and it can be heard in her voice and soul sounding energy.

The even greater magic is that she is able to relate that to others in her words and song and ability to capture our souls!

There will never be anyone else as great of a poet, songwriter, singer -- to me!
