![]() ![]() ![]() They may have helped Stevie out with the changes in the melody. ![]() Gordon Perry co-produced that song with Jimmy Iovine and Sandy Stewart played on it. ![]() Here's the link to the YouTube video for anyone who hasn't seen it: I listened to the album version quite a few times as well and can barely pick out any similarities, but damn, the song sounds really awesome (and Stevie is completely adorable) in this little impromptu rehearsal moment! It's never been my favorite song of Stevie's, but for whatever reason, I was a mesmerized by the idea that in its early stages, it had the same backing melody as "Can't Go Back". I just found the version of this on YouTube last night and watched it about five times in a row. So maybe Stevie had just written "Wild Heart"! That's my story & I'm stickin' to it! I think Annie Liebowitz did her Stevie shoot in New York because you have all those shots of New York streets in the Rolling Stone article. Heck, maybe she had even just written them on her New York trip during this very video. She wrote her "Wild Heart" words in a limo in New York in 1981. My guess is that he had this instrumental track - maybe created that year for "Mirage" or created earlier - & she taped it (I doubt the band would have let her walk out of Larrabee with the master) for her own amusement or ideas. Stevie doesn't really write "riffs" or motives she puts a chord progression underneath her already-existing "poetry." Stevie's using a backing track that Lindsey (& possibly the rest of Fleetwood) composed. Has there ever been any documentation that one song came from the other? Or is it one of those instances where you just really like a riff and build that riff into something else and it's not really considered a sharing thing? ETA - just saw the above comment about Lindsey Indian trading it, oops! Kinda wishing he hadn't at the moment! ![]()
