Stevie Nicks - Secret Love - Old Demo 1980

From the Almanac Demo's, around 1980.
Come on it's time to go upstairs
But I don't want to be leaving you here
I can't go be in that room alone
When I know that you're
down here in tears
I'm not asking "forever" from you
I'm just asking to be held for awhile
In a timeless search for
love that might work
Still we're already paying the price
But you need some rest
My darling, it's best
But we've already passed it, I cried
Ooohee..
Listen to me
My secret love secretly
Died
Oh, you need some rest
Oh, you need some rest
My darling, it's best
Ooh...
My secret love secretly
Secretly died

Prolific songwriter and singer singer 1970- 2024! Believing I; the crystal Vision! She’s a beautiful old soul and lady. Visionary spirit!😊😊

[@Thomas-j3x8k]

I just love all of Stevie's demos. They are so raw and full of emotion. Not like some of the commercial overproduced versions of her music. Thank you for sharing!

[@gwenmolfetas8908]

I agree!!

[@Delaneyisbraindead]

Yes! Another example of this is that video of her singing a demo version of Wild Heart while getting her makeup done. It was amazing as well.

[@Starchild4084]

All I can say is Wow! This is awesome and so raw…Beautiful

[@d4f5]

i have listened to her music for years and have been a collector for the same amount of time, and this her best written song

[@rosedeluia7394]

She sings like a Angel. Her voice is raw, and full of true emotions, of her life. She is very talented. Her songwriting is about, her life's true stories. Love this "Queen of Rock n Roll"...............💜💖💙❤💚💙💛

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

Loved & lost. Lost and loved loves so hard. The man …..her soulmate. Now the regrets……intermittent sadness. As a poet and strong lady, I understand.🌹🌹🌹there under lying sadness

[@CarmenToth]

This is so lovely. Stevie is the ultimate goddess of rock.

[@TreavorUnion]

Documentary brought me here :)

[@M4rtingale]

Wow - two fabulous versions of the same song, evoking such different emotions. I'm going to need both versions...

[@EmEmEmilyily]

Wow! Awesome song and video! I've never heard this song before until now :)

[@derriknoack]

her documentary brought me here!

[@acdeucee]

Im glad to see This found a way on to her new record! And it is a Masterpiece!

[@jmarkiemark]

Wow. Great to hear, in anticipation of the upcoming album. Amazing, the transformation from demo to master....especially over the course of decades.

[@yvonnewilliams6748]

This version is absolutely awesome..I like IYD too but this sounds so very cool..keep on rockin Stevie..

[@MrJoeMario]

OMG you got Secret LOVE!!!! SOOOOOO Loving this!!!!!

[@msstevie1951]

This is so beautiful,the lyrics are so deep,maybe about her and Mick,after she and Lindsey broke up? I'm not asking forever from you, I just want to be held for a while.........................♥ Too bad this was never released,she sings it from her heart ♥ It's so good to hear something different from Stevie,thank you for this post flamingcrystal ♥

[@nicksfan052648]

I WANT TO SAY I never heard this but I'm not sure now... TYVM flamingcrystal !!! !!!!

[@midnight5780]

How does it make you feel knowing that Stevie Nicks has seen this herself

[@ninjaart94]

Woah! It's weird to hear it from so long ago, when it seems like it just came out in her new album. I like this a lot. ^-^ She sounds so angelic!

[@wildheart0411]

I think this song is beautiful. I love hearing all these unreleased songs of Stevie's. Keep it up flamingcrystal!

[@gwenmolfetas8908]

My Secret Love... This is such a Beautiful Demo!! so much feeling and meaning in it, you just don't hear on the finished track! I saw her song this yet I still did not Feel what I Feel in this Demo!! Thank You!!

[@gwenmolfetas8908]

Amazing how this Demo Touches My Heart

[@TheRandomHubiakBand]

wow, i've heard a lot of her unreleased demos, but this is the first i've heard of this one.

[@justlikethegypsythatremain7140]

I saw you in the IYD documentary and I just started screaming to my mom I LOVE THIS ACCOUNT~ I WATCH THEIR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!! :D great job getting in the doc :)

[@interstategar]

In Stevie Nicks's movie In Your Dreams, there's a part showing your Yutube chanell of this upload and Stevie was searching for the demo of this song. She couldn't find her own copy and she found it on here. I clearly saw your username. How do you feel about that? You're part of her movie!

[@lindaking7664]

LOVELY .

[@dragonfly85514]

I love this!!!!

[@seventeenboi]

i hope stevie remade some more old demos on the new album!

[@lucrese1]

@naguiat1 I know she loves Janis Joplin too! It must be great to be in such a historic place where the greatest musiscians went like Jimi Hendrix (I'm also a big fan of him)! Who knows, maybe one day I'll have tha chance to go there (also a dream), my father worked in the USA before I was born,he and my mother wanted to stay there but they came back for their families (my grand-mother missed her son...). Anyway, thank you for your kind answer!

[@millennialfalcon8958]

Few can compare to Stevie's songwriting ability.

[@Newzchspy]

This version BLOWS away the new version!! Just a lil bit of synth and drum machine.........

[@capitolemiproducer]

Stevie was on the Bob and Tom show this week and stated she sent her assistant to look for the tape, instead it was on youtube

[@LMcConville1]

Just so you know, this is featured in her "In Your Dreams" documentary. Literally, she is sitting around with Waddy & Dave Stewart watching your video.

[@ScottT248]

Supposedly, there are 4 previous demos that are remade on the new cd, with this being one of them. I like both versions, and will be getting her new cd on May 3rd. I have no idea what the other 3 demos are, but I am also looking forward to new stuff. Can't wait for that.

[@benjaminmyles5886]

total goddess can sing me to sleep anytime

[@benjimo1193]

I listen to Stevie before going to sleep and at breakfast. Sometimes at lunch too

[@5amJayEll]

this is used in the IYDD!

[@Hoopermazing]

Who else came here to see the video where Stevie found her own song?

[@elkekim7337]

😍😍😍

[@lucrese1]

@naguiat1 I always dreamed of seeing fleetwood mac but I'm from Belgium, I think they came here once or twice ( the last time was 20 years ago I think), I really discoverd them afer their "behind the mask"album, I was 18 then. I begun to listen to all their records, their blues period, their records wth stevie and lindsey I ove al of their music(BTW, their ast record "say you will" was really great! unfortunally, I'll never see them in concert, so I watch their DVD's...How was she 3 months ago?

[@Wild1995]

@capitolemiproducer the power of KZbin is amazing

[@lucrese1]

I didn' know it was an old song! Where do you find these incredible beautiful sonfs-demo's??thanks again !!!!

[@capitolemiproducer]

Stevie said today she could not find this tape in her library, she found it on youtube instead

[@Thisistrulyus]

i honestly think this sounds better then the new album they autotuned her so mush on the new album but she didnt need it it sounded so deep and relaxed and i just saw her in concert not even a week ago and she sounded perfect and amazing!!

[@andyowen7636]

This demo is far better than the over produced, emotionally drained single, I'm a musician and have produced songs, it's about leaving things alone sometimes, apart from introducing real drums (if at all drums are needed) I wouldn't have changed a note..just my opinion

[@michaelcheng8401]

i totally agree. i think the key change ruined it a bit, but i'm thinking maybe she can't sing this high comfortably anymore. regardless, i wish they didn't change it so much.

[@NikkiTaylor85]

Agree 100%. Had only heard the original before the album version. I was surprised how far from the original it was! I prefer this version hands down

[@leafjlr333]

@shanndras I was jsut saying to a friend moment before i read this, that I hope the rest of the album has a less produced sound.

[@lucrese1]

@naguiat1 thanks, I will!

[@Nick715]

@shanndras I only heard the short clip, it sounds nice though. Her voice is a lot deeper now you know.

[@SophiaPetrillosBuddy]

The new version sounds a little too contemporary for me.

[@bsquared4604]

that's why i love it

[@BCZF]

I just wish in the new version she left the meaning of this demo...

[@gregorysmith2548]

I like the album version better from in your dreams

[@interstategar]

how did you get ahold of this demo?

[@woahannablue]

This song is hilarious. Ooh-wee, listen to me, mah secret luv secretly diiiiied. I like Stevie, but c'mon. Brings the lolz.

[@benmeltzer]

When did she record this performance?

[@prphotomail]

I cant believe I think this but I think her voice on the new version is stronger

[@Newzchspy]

@capitolemiproducer Where did Stevie say that???

[@Whitewidowmusic]

I Love all of Stevie's demos!! Please check out my cover of the Stevie Nicks demo "Lady from the Mountain" Thanks, White Widow

[@andyowen7636]

In fact just keyboard and voice required on reflection..

[@justlikethegypsythatremain7140]

how do you get all of these demos btw?

[@AmyLLevi]

ohhhhhhhhhhh, its about Mick!!!!

[@stevienicksisafreakinglege4413]

That's what I think as well! I think this actually 1978 while she was dating Mick Fleetwood

[@josephgould9951]

This demo is actually from around 1975/1976

[@Newzchspy]

Awesome song................too bad Dave Stewart "overproduced it" and now the new (31 years later) release sucks..........

[@Newzchspy]

@fleetwooddreams57 Its a great song (the original), Dave Stewart ruined it :(

[@lisaackland8342]

A stupid idea that caused severe depression and lasting damage to the rest of your family.
