Stepping out on her own for the second time, Stevie Nicks - Fleetwood Mac's resident chanteuse - gets a little bolder in her already successful career as a solo artiste. For the most part The Wild Heart succeeds because Nicks' most well-known and endearing qualities are found here in plentiful supply. Nicks' fans will probably be most enamored by side one's closer "Nightbird," one of her shimmering, shadow and lace ballads in the "Gypsy" or "Sara" vein in which she places a beautiful collage of her own voices above the deceptively simple melody - providing the album's most breathtaking moment in the process. The multitracked vocal experiments - especially the affecting gospel aura of "If Anyone Falls" - also work quite well, while the basic rock `n roll of "Enchanted," with its grinding Waddy Wachtel guitar lead and savory backup vocals, comes across with desired effect despite its rather standard approach. The soul flavored "Stand Back" - while not going as far as it might have - features some synthesized dance lines from Nicks' co-writer Sandy Stewart (who, incidentally, shares writing credits with Nicks on three tracks) and keyboards from Prince. Never one to ignore a past successful idea, Nicks once again duets with Tom Petty on his "I Will Run To You." But compared to last LP's fiery "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," this new tune is a rather lackluster affair in which no real sparks ever fly. While at times slipping all too predictably into what she knows will please her ardent admirers, Nicks fluctuates from what's expected on just enough tracks to keep things interesting. And as such, this new solo disc is a good overall effort. But had Stevie Nicks been a little more daring, The Wild Heart could have been a great album.

Stevie Nicks was following both her debut solo album, Bella Donna (1981), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over four million), and spawned four Top 40 hits, and Fleetwood Mac's Mirage (1982), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over two million), and spawned three Top 40 hits (including her "Gypsy"), when she released her second solo album, The Wild Heart. She was the most successful American female pop singer of the time. Not surprisingly, she played it safe: The Wild Heart contained nothing that would disturb fans of her previous work and much that echoed it. As on Bella Donna, producer Jimmy Iovine took a simpler, more conventional pop/rock approach to the arrangements than Fleetwood Mac's inventive Lindsey Buckingham did on Nicks's songs, which meant the music was more straightforward than her typically elliptical lyrics. Iovine did get a Mac-like sound on "Nightbird," in which Nicks repeated her invocation to "the white winged dove" from Bella Donna's "Edge of Seventeen," and on "Sable on Blond," a "Gypsy" soundalike. His most daring effort was the album's lead-off single, "Stand Back," which boasted a disco tempo. Elsewhere, the songs were largely interchangeable with those on Bella Donna, even down to the obligatory duet with Tom Petty. Nicks seemed to know what she was up to - one song was called, "Nothing Ever Changes." As, a result, The Wild Heart sold to the faithful - it made the Top Ten, sold over a million copies, and spawned three Top 40 hits ("Stand Back," "Nightbird," and "If Anyone Falls"). And that was appropriate: If you loved Bella Donna, you would like The Wild Heart very much.

Wild Heart

Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart
I think the heart broke long ago
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most

I run around like a spirit in flight
Fearlessness is fearlessness
I will not forget this night
Dare my wild heart
Dare my wild heart

Where is the reason
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
As to the seasons
You fought from the beginning
Long before I knew it
There was a danger
And the danger was
To fall in love

In dark sorrow
They gaze down into the darkest heart
If I leave you
You say not even you can tear us apart
Say you're leaving
You say you don't even know
How to start how to start how to start
Well believe it then
And don't blame it on my soul
Blame it on my wild heart
Ooo on my wild heart Ooo

Fire on fire rain on my face
Fever goes higher what can you do
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most

Where is the reason
Well don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
There is a reason
Why even the angels
Don't give up at all
Where are the children
Well are they hopelessly enchanted
Blame it on the angels
Where are the reasons
Don't blame it on our wild hearts
Wild heart wild heart wild heart

On my wild heart
On my wild heart
Even in the darkest places of your mind
Wo are the children are they hopelessly enchanted
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
No don't blame it on me, baby
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my blame it on my blame it on my
Blame it on my wild heart
Even in the back of your even in the back of your mind


If Anyone Falls

I hear a voice in the room next to mine
Feels good sounds good
Closes the door from behind
And another voice comes thru the door

I am dealing with a man
When away from me stays deep inside my heart
And he says if anyone falls in love
It will be one of us

If anyone falls in love
Somewhere in the twilight dreamtime
Somewhere in the back of your mind
If anyone falls

And I heard someone say
As my eyes turned away
He said I have loved many women
I have many times run away

Ooh I have never known the words
Well I have tried to be true
Well I have never known what to say
How to say seen anything today
Never seen anything like you

If anyone falls in love
Somewhere in the twilight dreamtime
Somewhere in the back of your mind
If anyone falls

So I'm never gonna see you
Never gonna see you deep inside my heart
Oh I see your shadow against
Shadow against shadow against the wall
Baby I see your shadow against the wall


Gate And Garden

There is a gate
It can be guarded
Well it is not heaven
And it has a garden
So to the red rose
Grows the passion

And the guardian
Well it's now you know
It's just a few days away
It's now you know
And it's then
It's just a game that we play
Someone steals it

Someone steals it away
Scares you to death
You don't give in to yourself
You give in to your friends
Don't send an answer
How many times have you said

Do I love you
Well I always did everynight
Nobody knows nothing 'bout it

Well it's now you know
It's everywhere
You say you seek the truth
I say all is fair
Don't send an answer
How many times
Have you said

Do I love you everynight
Well I always did
Nobody knows nothin' 'bout it
Wo do I love you
Well I always did everynight
Nobody knows nothin' 'bout it
They know nothing 'bout it
They know nothing' 'bout it

Do I love you Ooo

Wo
Do I love you Ooo
Do I love you Ahh
Do I love you Ooo


Enchanted

Crying in the morning trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
And destiny says that I'm destined to fall

Enchanted you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted it's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try

Why the face oh darling
Was it my darkness shadow light
I mean to cause no trouble for you
That is the story of my life

Enchanted you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted it's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try
Enchanted wo it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted well I hope you make it

You were gone you were gone from me
When I remember someone I remember their dreams
In those dreams that no one knows of
My destiny says that I'm destined to run

Enchanted Ooo you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted it's a shame that you wanted me
You didn't try
Enchanted well it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted well I hope you make it

Enchanted well I hope you make it
Wo wo wo
I hope you make it


Nightbird

And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
'Cause I wear boots all summer long

My eye make up is dark and it's careless
Some circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
Is my eyes without any shadow

And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin' for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonite

And so the winter is really here now
And the blankets that I love
I am surrounded sometimes
By too much love

And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin' for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonite

And the darkened eyes
Thru the net of the lace
In the darkness
It's hard to see her face
Pulls back the net
And you feel the touch
Of her fingers
And you see she turns the eyes
And you see the eyes of a nightbird
The ones you dream of
Finally the nightbird
Finally the nightbird
Tonite


Stand Back

No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand take me home

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
I would cry

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
One man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
Standing in a line

So I walked on down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
Well he asked me for my love
That was all


I Will Run To Go

No lyrics available.


Nothing Ever Changes

If it's me that's driving you to this madness
Then there's one thing that I'd like to say
Take a look at your life and your lovers
Nothing ever changes

Ooh it was just the first time
That I ever played for you
I could be the dancer of your dreams

I can turn all your music on
I can make you feel alive
I am gone but I'm never gone from you
It was just the first time

Come back little boy
Baby come back yeah little boy

Ooh it's just me that lies waiting
Well it could come from anywhere
Ooh it could come straight straight from my heart
Nothing can be saved here

I can turn all your music on
I can make you feel alive
I am gone but I'm never gone from you
It was just the first time

Come back little boy
Baby come back yeah little boy

Nothing ever changes you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes oh you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes you know it doesn't
Nothing ever changes


Sable On Blond

Learn to be a stranger
Blond on blond
In silence she says excalibur
I beg of you now
What was it that fell
Was it

One fallen leaf
Like the feather that it was
Was freedom by choice
Or baby was it love
Was it a thorn in your side
Something that you hide
Something you don't touch
Because it hurts too much
Ooo

Well have you come to see
That my face is not seen
Ooo outside my frost covered windows
Oh and just how deep
Do you hold that dream
In your hands each night this time
In your hands each night this time

Oh was it you
I heard calling which voice
Well I know that you are going
Which voice
Did I force you to remember
In the sacred name of love

To be brave save the stranger
Sable on blond
Dark upon light
Because it hurts too much
Just how deep
Do you hold that dream
In your hands each night
In your hands each night
In your hands each night

Ooh I beg of you now
What was it that fell
Well this time I think it was you babe
This time
Ooo well I think it was you babe
This time
Ooo well I think that it was you baby
This time


Beauty And The Beast

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 darling 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 would fall in your shadow I believe

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

Changed who is the beauty
Where is my beast (my love)
There is no beauty
Without my beast (my love)

Who is the beauty
Who my love
Ahhh
Oh la bete la bete
Where is my beast

My beauty my beauty
My beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful beast
