This is a rock a little outtake (1986). You can download this version of the song from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=49aeb120ef2d403fd2db6fb9a8902bda Some call her Strange lady from the mountains Well, yes, and others say she's not really real Like a candle burns bright And it wants to burn faster Well, maybe then, at least, she really feels She really feels You love her But you love your life alone as well But do you know the road Or the reasons why Well, if you leave her You'd be losing the chance to stay alive Well, the candle burns bright Then the candle dies Burning from the middle Like a candle Burning, burning Hopefully learning So go with her You know that you want her Think you could use a dreamer I think somewhere on your side And maybe If that woman could make you crazy Did she call out, did she say, "Please save me" Woah, tonight She says, "Tonight" Tonight Burning, burning, burning Something 'bout... Well, I could make you crazy Do you need a dreamer? You could use a dreamer I could use a dreamer Oh, yeah, make you crazy, oh, yeah Burning, burning Ooh, oh Some do call her Strange lady from the mountains Yes, and others say she's not really real Really real Yes, she is really real Ooh, burning, burning Did you know that you're burning Burning out... WEBMISTRESS speculates: I like this song. Stevie is the "lady of the mountain," of course, as she is in Sorcerer. She lives a fast lifestyle, and though it causes her to "burn bright," it also takes a toll. Still, this is the only way she knows how to feel alive. Then, she shifts to talking about Lindsey. He loves her, but he's so focused on his music - his "life alone." She asks him, does he even know why he does that? She knows that without her, his life will not be the same. Still, she sees the flame of their love that once burned so bright beginning to "die." It's "burning out" right along with her, both being extinguished by the fast rock'n'roll lifestyle. Still, she knows he wants her...she drives him crazy. She admits that she relies on him too heavily, which contributes to that...always calling "please save me." She also sees that he's gotten to a point where he's "burning out," and certainly, during the Tusk period, Lindsey was a workaholic, and they need to get perspective, before their own souls are completely extinguished. FROG speculates: I really do think that this song is about Rhiannon, the Welsh Goddess of steeds and birds, or at least I think it is referring to Rhiannon. In the myth, Rhiannon was the Lady from the Mountain. She came down from the Great Mound, which was called Gorsedd Arbeth, where came down from her world to the mortal world where she met Pwyll. When she comes down from her world, she gives out light and of course the mortals would see her as a "strange lady", hence "Some call her Strange lady from the mountain". However some say that "she's not really real". In the song "Maker of Birds / 3 Birds of Rhiannon" it says about Pwyll thinking he is crazy because he has met such a beautiful woman. This is referenced in this song also when it says, "If that woman could make you crazy". In the myth, Rhiannon is being forced to marry a man against her will, unless she can find another suitable husband. She has been watching Pwyll and she knows it is him that she wants. In this song Stevie is referencing this when she writes, "Did she call out, did she say, Please save me". She is talking about whether or not Rhiannon was calling out to Pwyll, "save me, please marry me, so that I do not have to marry this other man". Also in the book (The Mabinogion) where the myth is told, there is use of the word tonight, when Pwyll says tonight he shall be married to her....in the song Stevie writes..."Tonight" She says, "Tonight" So, in conclusion I strongly believe that this song is about Rhiannon, however I do not know if it is related in any way to her relationship with Lindsey or any other aspect of her life.
