The bad thing for everyone else: it’s a million miles from the studio version of the song, which is an undeniably lesser creation. It feels like it’s in person, like it’s the coolest moment of the coolest Laurel Canyon party I never went to in 1982. Her effortlessness is apparent as she’s sitting the whole time, singing at the makeup girl like she’s having a conversation. The way her voice fills the room on an 80s video camera microphone is ridiculous. It’s been on repeat in my apartment for the past few days, and shimmying around my head when I leave. Nicks sounds incredible and the song is fantastic.
I know there is a long list of such songs, but this has to be at the top. The good thing for this particular cosmetic artiste: she witnessed the best backstage, makeup application bootleg of all-time. A lot of uncomfortable eye contact ensues with the poor makeup lady, as Nicks sings the song with some help on harmonies. In this video, apparently preparing for a Rolling Stone photo shoot, Nicks is taken away by the music to her song “Wild Heart.” It’s the first track on her second solo album, The Wild Heart (1983). However, if I was trying to, this experience with Stevie Nicks would be my worst nightmare. I’ve never tried to apply makeup to anyone, definitely including myself.
