Stevie Nicks Sleeping Angel Unedited Demo

[@bridgetfagen4182]

This will always remind me of precious memories of my late husband, lover, and soul mate.

[@robertroberts5185]

I can’t be the only one that gets chills every time I listen to this. No other song makes me feel this way. Nobody comes close to Stevie.

[@joefriedman9843]

Every time. Its one of my favorite versions of any of her songs. She sounds incredible.

[@HarvestMoon21]

Absolutely agree! I'm in my sixty's and she first got me when I was 13!! I've been hooked ever since....🕊️✌🏼

[@louisenesselaar606]

Yes, her voice here was still good. She had such a magic voice.

[@georgeseay4402]

AWESOME

[@deesudduth5821]

It's amazing.

[@scottconyer4575]

No female singer can claim timeless significance like Stevie. Her growling vibrato has hypnotic abilities beyond explaining. Great yesterday, today, and forever. She IS that good.

[@SteveKasian]

Yeah, she's got one of a kind tone. In "After The Glitter Fades," she sounds like across between Dolly Parton and one of those prolific female Country voices of the early half of the 20th century. She's so at home and in the pocket there, whilst also being one of the greatest female voices in the history of RnR.

[@jacquelynhauck3617]

Still timeless & mystic.gotta have Soulshine.. amen

Great comment 💯🏆🥇

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

My eternal sunshine moonshine and star shine! Look deeply into her soulful hypnotic eyes as you fall into the songs dusky voice vibrato,rock on my Queen

[@gregthomas2448]

@@tiffanyroseangeles34 I think you will understand me. I took my wife to Stevie at Tinley Park Illinois concert I had front row seats, I honestly forget what year this was. Stevie came down and was shaking hands touching the crowd and I just missed her finger. To this day it bothers me that I missed touching an angel and generational talent and most importantly national treasure. I hope that being in close proximity brought me some of the magic. I’m too much of a gentleman to have aggressively grabbed at her hand. That gives me some solace 😉

[@Doodsy1975]

No voice altering, auto tuning BS here. Just a woman with the voice of an angel. Take note, so called artists of today. No-one comes close.

[@Street_Degree]

There is no one like her. Freaking legend.

[@brendawilliams8061]

This song is so, so awesome. I feel sorry for people who didn't track it down after hearing it in Fast Times. I've loved it since the first time I heard it. 💕

[@jjones8000]

I bought the soundtrack when it first came out, especially because Stevie was on it.

[@williamfleckles]

Don't be sorry for me, thank you. I have only discovered this marvelous musician in the last 8 months and what a ride it has been! And it seems I've only just begun...

[@theaterdreamer]

There is no one like Stevie Nicks. No one. There never has been, and there never will be again. We are all so incredibly lucky to have heard this great lady’s magical voice. How any woman can be so mystically beautiful, inside and out, is beyond my comprehension. Knowing how much pain she has gone through in her life, her failed relationships, losing her best friend Robin at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s popularity-I just want to hug her. In an interview once, s long time ago, she said that it was Robin who taught her to be strong. Stevie’s strength, and her vulnerability, come across in every line she sings. She is not merely a vocalist. She is a storyteller. Fleetwood Mac is a prodigiously talented band. Vocally, musically, and from a songwriting perspective. But you really get a sense for how dynamic, and uniquely gifted each member is when they are doing their own music. Then, they are not part of a greater whole, making compromises to satisfy four other band mates. They are relying solely on their unique gifts and artistic vision. And what gifts. Stevie has eclipsed every other female vocalist in popular music, in my humble opinion, save one. Ann Wilson. There are other great female singers, but those two ladies are the gold standard. Their ability to infuse their singing with so much emotion sets them apart.

[@scottconyer4575]

We are on the same wavelength here. Nice to know there’s others!

[@edgeej.drezwell3736]

I've heard other similar vocalists over the years every now and then. But I can definitely agree, that I would never say there is anyone that could fill the shoes of Stevie. She sings with emotion, shares her feelings, good and bad,. So we feel that and relate to that. She tells her story as life gives to her. She is the one and only White Queen.

[@kimjodoin868]

This is why she is in Hall of fame 2X and Lindsey is not!

[@irisheyez24]

Couldn't have said it any better!!!

[@lawrencegarcia6819]

I second that emotion both Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson both are the best and nothing compares or comes close to them

[@lilflower25]

[@stvynix3687]

Love it!

[@mrsuperbruce]

Please don't use the F bomb with Stevie.....

[@lilflower25]

bruce wouters I was quoting her. Apparently you didn't even listen to the demo. And if you did, you need to listen again because that's what she says in the beginning when she makes a mistake. So please don't tell me what to do. smh.

All those years of being a fan of Fleetwood Mac, listening on the radio, going to Concerts, never stopped to consider the real gift. Stevie Nick's writing.

[@Terk131]

So very true and her music will stand the test of time. We are lucky to have had her and her craft.

[@optimaprime8970]

We'll never see such plumage from such a beautiful flight like hers ever again

[@simonharwar8083]

I saw Fleetwood Mac at U C's Folsom Field in Boulder in 1977, back when Stevie and Lindsey were very much a thing . i'll never forget that concert . i read where they both did a lot of the writing for Rumors in the area that i was living in Colorado at the time, and that she was in Aspen writing "Landslide" while i was living there . ah, i wish that i had run into her.

[@SteveKasian]

U & me both! I'm just learning all about her history and that of Fleetwood Mack, the songwriting, etc. It's almost as though Stevie & Lindsey helped FM out by letting them join up, as it seems all the greatest FM hits were written by them two.

[@goonerbean4680]

Really?

[@debbieo2721]

An angel like this cannot ever be captured by a man. He will hold her down and trap her from being her true beautiful self. That is why almost 50 years later she is still alone and entertaining new generations of lucky listeners, she is free and is an icon that is irreplaceable and inspirational. thank you Stevie for all the years you were in my heart and back of my mind singing, it made my life a happy place to live in.

[@SWest00072]

You know this song is about her friend who passed away in the 80’s, right?!?!

[@jonathangoodman2636]

Angels are not captive to cocaine.

[@lestatsluv317]

​@@SWest00072 No, it is not. This song is about Paul (I want to say his last name is Fiskin or something like that) , the music producer who was originally producing Tom Petty and then he got with Stevie and also produced Belladonna for Stevie. If you ever hear the full demo for Julia, the Paul she was talking to on there that she dragged out of bed at 3 am to get the song down? That's who this song is about. 😊

[@lestatsluv317]

​@@jonathangoodman2636 How do you know? When was the last time an angel darkened your doorstep? Also .... Stevie hasn't touched coke in forty years. Clearly not such a captive. And she's still not out here putting up with the bullshit of men. She's an inspiration all the way around. 😊

[@georgew.spradlin8333]

We will never see the talent of another like the queen Stevie Nick's.

I dislike radio more and more after hearing this. Never heard this on the radio. Loved Fleetwood Mac and Stevies solo music, but this is a gem on a nuclear scale. Can't believe this is the first time I heard this. This is a dead tie for most favorite song of hers.

[@JasonBaxter-sr2gm]

I love this version the best, incl.that cute restart. The amount of range in her voice is incredible - this being a”softer” Stevie, as opposed to like “Edge of Seventeen.” Her ability to harmonize with herself and others is absolutely incredible. She’s such a nice person - I wrote her- and got the standard form letter, but she actually wrote me a note on it that was so very cool. I have seen her tour 3 times in 3 months and headed for her the 4th. She’s 76! She could have overdosed like so many rock stars but I think touring is so therapeutic for her. She seems so happy and is so kind to her audience. And so personable & funny! I LOVE YOU STEVIE NICKS🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🖤💜💙🩵💛💛🧡❤️🩷
