You can't take Stevie's lyrics literally. She is a brilliant songwriter and uses poetic imagery to express her emotions
Completely true. In this song for instance everyone guesses and no one gets it right. The edge of 17 is actually a takeoff on the phrase age of 17 if you have a Southern accent when you say it. She got it from Tom Petty's first wife Jane when she was having a conversation with her about when it was that Jane met Tom Petty. And the rest of the song is a smash up of thoughts and feelings generated during the week that John Lennon was assassinated which was also the same week that a family member of hers passed away. And you'd never get any of that from just listening to the lyrics
Exactly. That goes for so many artists. I think this is a problem a lot of the Reaction channels seem to have. They are looking for a definitive, literal meaning to songs when Art just doesn't always work that way.
Yeah it was pretty common to just write good songs about an idea or an image and not a lot of people would read too much into it. It was just a good song. Brad happens to make the mistake of thinking every song is someone's life story. Probably a hip hop thing.
All in all, âEdge of Seventeenâ is about the sadness Nicks felt after the death of her musical hero John Lennon and an uncle of hers named Jonathan. Both deaths occurred just days apart in the month of December 1980. Nicks got the songâs title from a conversation she had with singer Tom Pettyâs wife Jane Benyo. During the conversation, Nicks had asked Jane when she met Tom for the first time. Jane replied Nicks by telling her that she and Tom met when she was âat the age of seventeenâ. Interestingly, because of Janeâs southern accent (which was very thick), Nicks assumed what Jane said was âthe edge of seventeenâ. She liked the phrase and decided instantly it would make a good title for a song.
In 2019, Stevie Nicks made history by becoming the first female artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice
Said it before, I'll say it again: greatest female vocalist in the history of rock 'n' roll.
Without a doubt.
Is this even rock n roll? Fleetwood Mac's music ain't really rock either? Or am i wrong?
That would be an opinion ! I can think of half a dozen others that come to mind, I use to think that the best voice in rock music female belonged to Dale Krantz who sang for Rossington Collins or Dale Krantz Rossington, since she had married Gary Rossington
@@erroristmusic Rock 'n' Roll is a pretty broad category, man. Fleetwood Mac is a pretty eclectic band, but it's unquestionably a rock band before anything else. FYI, Stevie Nicks is the only woman to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame twice.
Ann Wilson was a better singer Imo and kinda more rock n roll.
I was in LOVE with Stevie and she is 14 years older than me.
When this song came out, she was singing to me!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I ran to the record store to get this 45.
I was basically 19 by then, but close enough.
But wasn't it a bummer to find that the 45 had an entire verse edited from the song?
i always interpreted the lyrics as Stevie loving on a young man "he was no more than a baby then he seemed broken-hearted something within him all alone on the edge of seventeen" and then "i am a few years older than you" using this interpretation i picture myself as the boy she's singing to. might not be right or even close, but works for me.
The "17 year old" is her cousin she was singing about. She was with him, as his dad (her uncle) was dying at home, those lyrics are about that situation. Also she is singing about the death of John Lennon in this song.
@@Rhiannon011 her Uncle's son would be her cousin, at least where I'm from.
@@EM1R8T1961 Oops!đČ You are totally correct. I do apologize for that error, Stevie Nicks "cousin". I corrected it above.
Cooperstone
If it works for you, stick with it!
Haha me to.
You know what an "earworm" is, right? A song, melody, sound, or phrase that seems to just pop into your head out of the depths of your memory and keeps popping in at random times just to drive you a little crazy with its repetition. Well, this song was the first earworm that I ever actually really enjoyed, popping into my head around 2020 after being an old favorite in the 1980's. I now use this song to drive away any unwanted earworms! Works every time!!!
Rhinnanon is my earworm cure!! Twinning!
I love Stevie. Her voice. Her bands. Her songs. Her energy. She's the coolest.
Stevie Nicks has one of the most unique voices in history.
Unique sounding, like if she swallowed a mouthful of razorblades and chased it with copious amounts of coffee and jello.
Just saying.
Best voice in music, ever.
( imho of course.)
@@EM1R8T1961 And then two packs of smokes. But absolutly worked for her style, both solo and Fleetwood. My type of gal.
The song is about the loss Stevie felt when her uncle, who was a couple of years younger than her, died in the same week that John Lennon was murdered, whom the song is also about, but sung metaphorically. The title comes from a misunderstanding between her and an old friend, when her friend, Tom Petty's wife, told her they first met at the age of seventeen. Stevie thought she said "edge" and it inspired her to write a song about her uncle and Lennon.
It was about Tom petty and his wife actually
@@BlowinFree she's told the story about her uncle and Lennon many times.
@@robertsaul234 Its about both.
@@richardcollette9884 I never said it wasn't.
I heard that before but totally forgot it, thanks for remembering that
the guitar chug famously sampled by Destiny's Child on "Bootylicious", absolute classic tune
Fuck you're right! I never noticed that.
Sampling is stealing.
Well spotted
Played by sideman extraordinaire Waddy Wachtel I believe.
Whenever I heard this come on the radio back in the day, I always thought it was Eye of the Tiger from Rocky lol
The absolute, unequivocal Queen of Rock n Roll. Nobody had or ever will have a voice like hers, let alone the songwriting talents to back it up.
Ummm Ann Wilson blows Stevie out of the water when it comes to rock and roll. (vocals) Can't argue on lyrics.
Ann Wilson has a better voice especially when it comes to actual rock n roll
I like Stevie but PJ Harvey sings better and for me a much better song writer. And much more rock based than Stevie especially her first 3 albums.
@@Blaze_1961 Stevie is the Queen of R&R. Cant deny Ann's power of vocals and all but Stevie still earns the title.
Brad & Lex, you'll love her "Stand Back, duets "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" (with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and "Leather and Lace" (with Don Henley). She is one of the few women in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame twice (Fleetwood Mac and solo).
I thought she was the only one.
Insider is good too if your gonna talk duets with her and Tom, as well as i will run to you, needles and pins, and The apartment song.
@@timpeltier2901 Tina Turner and Carole King solo. Tina with Ike Turner, and Carole for songwriting with Gerry Goffin.
That kind of makes me sad. She deserves it in spades, but Pat Benatar isn't in there once and she's in twice? Hmmm. I mean, I get it, but I guess just weird that so many get in and yet not one of the greatest singers of a generation?
One of my very favorite songs. I love Stevie's voice.
When my younger sister was 16 years old, this came out. We were already both fans of Fleetwood Mac and then Stevie Nicks had this huge smash hit on her own. And I can remember the video on MTV playing constantly. But my sister had the record and she just played it over and over and over again. And it was on the radio all the time as well.
Hey Steve, saw her do this in 97 in SF.
@@michaelasay8587 Sweet!
HA! Brad...it's all over your face when you're wrestling with the meaning of obscure lyrics, and the song comes to an end...
...and you still haven't puzzled it out! My friend, that's what gives these songs replay value!! On a different day (depending on your current circumstances), something completely different, and often unexpected, will pop into your mind.
Just go with it!
He ought to just quit even trying to figure out song lyrics. They don't necessarily mean only one thing for starters. Even the really obvious ones go over his head besides.
Duet with Stevie & Don Henley (Eagles drummer, lead vocals) Huge hit âLeather & Laceâ is classic
I rarely pay attention to song lyrics through the first few times a I hear a new song. I just "hear" it. If my mind is analyzing the meaning of the lyrics I don't hear the music; I'll read a book for words. Just let it be music, with Stevie's voice as just another instrument. Over time I absorb the lyrics and the song takes on its deeper meaning. But it's the musicality that owns me first. This is one of my favorite Nicks' song (perhaps my #1 favorite).
I've always loved this song. Stevie's voice is so powerful and beautiful. I also love this guitar riff that goes throughout this song, it was also sample by Destiny's Child for their hit, Bootylicious. Stevie even made a cameo in the DC video! Stevie is such a boss! Love her! đđ
This was Stevie's transition from bandmate to solo.. Also she went from 70s rock queen to the 80s in the MTV generation. Her sound changed drastically, just as music did from 1979 to 1981.
Now you know why she is the queen of rock and roll.
This album made her a superstar!
Now we're talking..that screeching voice is hauntingly beautiful..get yourself some Fleetwood Mac rumours songs on thanks guys love it.
That hypnotic riff was contributed by the studio and touring guitarist Waddy WachtelâŠitâs not done on bass but on guitar. Waddy has been Steveâs âside-manâ and good friend for decadesâŠâŠand a very cool dude.
Waddy is THE MAN .. so many artists use him.. legendary session guy
I absolutely love the melody of this song. This is not even the type of music I generally listen to, but the soul is pulled in by her words and mesmerizing vocals.
School of Rock jukebox scene
Stevie!!!
Stevie Nicks wrote this song about the death of her uncle and the death of John Lennon. The line about the "Words from a poet and a voice from a choir" refers to Lennon.
Speaking about the song in commentary for her Live In Concert video recorded on her Bella Donna tour, she explained: "I was in Australia when John Lennon was shot. Everybody was devastated. I didn't know John Lennon, but I knew Jimmy Iovine, who worked with John quite a bit in the '70s, and heard all the loving stories that Jimmy told about him. When I came back to Phoenix I started to write this song.
Right when I got to Phoenix, my uncle Bill got cancer, got very sick very fast, and died in a couple of weeks. My cousin John Nicks and I were in the room when he died. There was just John and I there. That was part of the song when I went running down the hallways looking for somebody - I thought where's my mom? Where's his wife and the rest of the family? At that point I went back to the piano and finished the song."
Stevie came up with the title when she asked Tom Petty's wife Jane when the couple met. Jane said, "At the age of seventeen," but she had a very strong southern accent and Stevie thought she said "the edge of seventeen," which makes a great song title. Telling the story in a 1981 interview with Los Angeles disc jockey Robert W. Morgan, Nicks said she told Jane: "It's got to be 'edge.' 'The Edge of Seventeen' is perfect. I'm going to write a song."
Miley Cyrus dropped her track âMidnight Sky,â which samples Stevie Nicks' classic song âEdge of Seventeen.â Now, Stevie Nicks herself has joined Cyrus on a remix of the single called âEdge of Midnight.â
That is her storyline. It makes zero sense. The lyrics literally detail how she and Lindsey met. We may never know. I do not buy that tale for one minute.
The last part is a real bummer.
Stevie Nicks is sooooo bad ass. No to Brad on the interpretation. And it's a guitar picking that single note (and a couple others) throughout.
Girl HAS a guitar and didn't know that... OMG. That tells me just how much she's picked it up. Like, little to not at all. :(
THE GREATEST FEMALE VOICE IN ROCK!
If you want to see another side of Stevie review the live version of Gold Dust Woman with Bob Welch. Itâs intense and great.
Stevie took a lot of inspiration from Janis Joplin. Both Janis and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane were early idols of hers. Seeing both powerful women singers front their own bands before her own career took off, Stevie has said, "I learned that to make it as a female musician in a man's world is gonna be tough, and you need to keep your head held high." Janis was certainly a huge influence on her artistry, creating her own persona to bring it to the studio and the stage. I've had the pleasure of seeing the woman in concert when she was promoting her early solo albums and it's more than a show, it's an EXPERIENCE! Rock on, Stevie!
Saw Stevie back in the 80's with Fleetwood Mac. She sang 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You', with just Christine McVie on piano... Her voice gently shook my bones from head to toe. The best live voice I have ever witnessed... Apart from a gig I went to a few years ago, which was Beth Hart. Beth blew my mind for the entire show. Am I The One live from Paradiso has to be one the best live performances ever caught on film. Ooops... I drifted off there for a moment. Two unbelievable singers, and so lucky to have seen them both perform.
Beth Hart is great. But when she does her live concerts these days she rarely sings my fav song by her "LA song"...great song!
Stevie is that woman đŻâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
Song is fantastic
She fell in love the first time she saw the one, and they ended up together even tho it was when she got older. And she is acknowledging her progression in life.
She is the only female Double Inductee into 'The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame', for Fleetwood Mac and her solo career.
(This song is kind of a double hit for her as well. Destiny's Child used large parts of in their monster hit 'Bootylicious'. They even had Stevie Nicks in their official video.)
Love this... You should check out "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian - Totally different but AMAZING - Won a Grammy. There's a live version taped at The Old Whistle Test... Good work!
I think every teenage girl felt like the one in that Janis Ian song! One of the great female singer-songwriters of the '70s.
Not only is this HER best hit, it's one of the BEST songs in the history of Rock!
We'll have to agree to disagree on that one ;)
Negative
STAND BACK WAS A GOOD ONE!! THE MUSIC SOUND..SHAKE MY HEAD EACH TIMES! đ€©
@@supertrexandroidxu can disagree but he is factually right
@@willfrancis9100no itâs positive
If you want a 60s hippie female voice to check out, you really need to check out Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane/Starship.
As others have said this song was written after the death of Stevieâs Uncle and John Lennon. For me it is my absolute favorite Stevie song because it got me through the suicide of my younger cousin back in 2015. As his older cousin I took it personally that I didnât look out for him and notice he needed help. It hits me differently than the rest of her songs just because of the emotion she sings in it surrounding death. Iâm glad you two finally listened to it! â€ïž
Had a big crush on her when I was a teenager. After this song I thought hmm, this could happen...
I could listen to her all day every day
Not the most technical guitar solo ever, but very effective for the song. Music does not have to be crazy hard to play to still be interesting to listen to.
All of a sudden I got when I was 9 playing old school computer games like Archon or Hack... This song would come on... It would put me in heaven... Nice enjoyable feeling filled flashback... Just like it made me feel the same way when I was 9 in '83... Stevieđđđđ„đ„đ„đŻđŻđŻ
This IS 80's Stevie Nicks - This song was HUGE and the Video is ICONIC!
Absolute classic from Stevie! Takes me right back to the early 80's. Whole album is great! đđ„đ„đ„
Saw her concert, what a show. NEVER thought you two would react to. TYVM
Stevie is amazing, such a perfect voice and s I beautiful, she just gives off a vibe and energy love her
This song is all about the relationship drama within the band. Example ...the nightbird was Mic Fleetwood.They have so many cool rock stories.
My fave SN song, absolute Banger! Played this during an boring Art Show after party once, transformed the whole boring room into a great vibe!đ
So many great live versions of Stevie doing this song you have to watch her perform. She is great and still going on her own.
The scream before the solo is over of the best moments in rock history
she is so fucken amazing!!!!!! all these yrs later she STILL rocks!!!!
Her fast vibrato is just the best! Love it!
Have to see this liveâŠ.Stevieâs AWESOME! Cheers
Stunning piece of music by a true artist
Stevie Nicks says that No. 1....she considers herself a songwriter. This poem/song is one that proves as much....as are many others. Oh, and she can sing, too.
Watch the official video sometime guys. It's a great live version that really kicks.
There is a live performance of her doing this song that is awesome. Can't remember Wich show but the audience sure gives her love.
There's a great live version of this you should watch for yourselves. You can see the love between Stevie & the audience & it's beautiful.đâźđ
Even though this wasn't her biggest hit (indeed, it never even entered the Top 10), it has gone on to pretty much become her signature song.
Stevie Nicks used a lot of the same musicians that toured with Linda Rondstadt in her solo work!
Timeless classic.
See her do this solo, even now, recently, it's fucking amazing...my love of music started here..
Nevr saw these two before- but this Lex is a freaking DOLL!! Such a cute freakkng smile as sheâs listening to these songs. Just watched the reveiw of this and Should I Stay or Should I go⊠songs from back in my days. Such a pleasure watching them enjoy
I had floor seats and a temperature of 104 when I went to the Fleetwood Max concert. The 80s ROCKED!!! You all missed it. They used to say Stevie Nicks was a witch, lol.
The guitar riff was sampled by Destiny's child for their song "bootylicious". Stevie appeared briefly in the video playing a guitar.
I absolutely love Stevie Nicks. 70s or 80s or 90s or today, she's just awesome.
Her best one is "Stand Back".
Lex, I can see you really FEEL the music in these videos.. keep up with your guitar playing and God bless you both. You would have made the PERFECT stoner babe back in the day!!
I love Fleetwood Mac but I also was a teen with Stevie`s solo 80s music so I loved it too! Stand Back,If Anyone Falls,I Can`t Wait and Talk To Me are all Greats! ..Keep On Rockin'
Been in love with this woman since the 70's My My she is great!
Queen Stevie ~ No words needed đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€
Love Stevie, Love this song.
Fun fact, Stevie Nicks was a character in American Horror Story Coven. The one witch, Misty, believed that Stevie Nicks was a witch and the evidence is in her music.
This the first I really loved Stevie. I didnât get her before. And itâs my loss because her originally and deep spirit is positively undeniable. Thanks.
Originality.
Favorite Stevie song, still in my Playlist
Stevie was inspired by Tom Petty's first wife who told her in a thick Deep South accent that she had met Tom at the "edge of seventeen." Ironically, Stevie herself met Lindsey Buckingham in high school at the "edge of eighteen."
She said "age of seventeen" but Stevie misunderstood it.
And, she was a "few years" (year and a half) older than him. And, she met him playing music.
Absolutely perfect shot Brad... đ€Ș Hey Man, Nice Shot!!!
Stevie Nicks asked Tom Petty's wife when she met him and she said "at the age of seventeen" but Stevie heard "the edge of seventeen" and she saved that phrase because it sounded cool and used it much later in this song
Classic! âïž
Even though I'm subscribed to your channel, I don't get a lot of notifications when you post. I missed this one, but wanted to say thanks for reacting to this. It's one of my favorites. Her voice is just so original.
MMMMmmm. Stevie. Fell in love with her voice back when I was in HS in the 80s.
Stevie the Queen!!
I'm a hardcore metal head.
Metallica, gnr, slipknot, wasp, and everything in-between.
This is my guilty pleasure, and I had the biggest crush on stevieđ
Listen to the lyricks at the end when she says "I'm a few years older than you". I think its about forbidden love.
Again we had the best music in the 70's.
Queen. One of my idols growing up. Still is )0( đđ€đ
Lex would have been a great music reviewer for Rolling Stone magazine back in the 70s and 80s.
Can never go wrong with Stevie never!
LEX JUST ENCAPSULATED STEVIE IN ONE SENTENCE!! Is her voice perfect? NO...is it raspy and gritty and real? Absolutely! And is her writing typical and falling into popular norms? Nope...AND THATS WHY WE LOVE HER!!!
I used to have this Tape. Excellent music.
Thanks!
my ears get so excited when i hear her!
YEA BOY!
Listening to Stevie is like riding a wooden roller coaster.
Waddy Wachtel on the guitar
Stevie is the goddess Queen of Rock and Roll! ALL bow down before her!
Iâm a metalhead and think Stevie is a goddess!!
Only woman that was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Great song!
Queen Stevie is mistress of the universe.
I can't hear this and not think of 'School of Rock'. Great song! Great movie!!
