Finally a song with a little substance on this new Stevie DVD!!! You can really hear her bring her voice out on this one!!! When you mention Anne Rice & Stevie Nicks now we're cookin' w/gas!!! Stevie's voice brings out a real heartfelt tribute to the Big Easy!!! TY kenanney 1956!!!
Beautiful work, you and Stevie both. Having loved both Stevie and N'awlins for soooo long, it's like destiny that she wrote exactly what I feel. Only been to my favorite city 4 times in my life, but will definitely return once I can afford it..."I Can't Wait"!! Thanks so much for your wonderful creation. Have been listening to the whole album all day, over and over...I just can't get enough of her or my favorite city. Maybe one day, I'll be lucky enough to live there! Thanks so much! Peace : )
This city desevers a song like this from the Queen of Rockin Roll. I love this song as I do the whole cd. she promised a song to new orleans and she kept that promise to them.Stevie is the closest thing to a god on this earth!!! Shes a poet inmotion.
Thaks Stevie and sharer!!! :)))) I bought your album 'Buckingham Nicks" before you ever joined with Fleetwood Mac :} (and named my first girl after you....but twisted story lol! :/).

It makes me want to go home for Cmas :( Thank you OVER and OVER Stevie (I named my 1st born after you :P). And my collegues and best friends...eat at your restaurants...Port of Call, Dungeon (RIP S). Sons and Gooses :} Not enough days to catch up live :D (mp wpmder ATT limits me :( ).
In the city of dreams, lies the city's ghost There's a beginning, there's a middle and an end In this city we reach out for the middle ground We throw a great party, so hard to start to mend We forgive, at least we try In the midst of the sea of dreams lies a perfect storm In the sea of tears lies a city ghost In the spirit of the morning glow Well, the people hope that their lives will get better The people hope that their lives will get better I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by Ann Rice And go on down Bourbon Street I see a sea of smiles I see a haunted city reaching out I see hope in all their faces Behind the mask of Mardi Gras Where the good and the righteous walk And the wicked as well I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by the vampires I wanna dress up, ooh yeah I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by Ann Rice And go down Bourbon Street Go on down Bourbon Street Within these rooms, I go up to my balcony And I hang the paintings on the wall And I open up my gallery, and I open up my doors I stare at the city, I stare at my city I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by the vampires I wanna get back to New Orleans I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by Ann Rice Go down Bourbon Street Go down Bourbon Street Go on down Bourbon Street Go on down Bourbon Street Go on down, go on down, go on down Go on down Bourbon Street In the city of tears, lies the city's ghost
Great song! However, I could have done without the images from Katrina in the video. That storm severely affected us, but it does not define us! We are working hard to put that part of our history behind us and make our city better than ever!
Stevie Is the legend!!!
My family being from New Orleans, some still there, this one has a special place in my heart.
OMG!!! Stevie Just keeps getting better and better. In my eyes she is truly Rock and Roll Royalty,,,Look at her at 62 Still rocking and rolling

OMFG Stevie doing a NOLA song!!!!!! As a NOLA local, I'm THRILLED!!!!!!!!
Thank you Nicki, from one of those people that fought to keep the city of hope alive.
Thanks Stevie. Great song. I am still working on forgiving, but I can always smile for my city.
Love New Orleans Love Anne Rice lol Best of both worlds. My new favorite song.

Brilliant.
In the city of dreams, lies the city's ghost
There's a beginning, there's a middle and an end
In this city we reach out for the middle ground
We throw a great party, so hard to start to mend
We forgive, at least we try
In the midst of the sea of dreams lies a perfect storm
In the sea of tears lies a city ghost
In the spirit of the morning glow
Well, the people hope that their lives will get better
The people hope that their lives will get better
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go on down Bourbon Street
I see a sea of smiles
I see a haunted city reaching out
I see hope in all their faces
Behind the mask of Mardi Gras
Where the good and the righteous walk
And the wicked as well
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by the vampires
I wanna dress up, ooh yeah
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Within these rooms, I go up to my balcony
And I hang the paintings on the wall
And I open up my gallery, and I open up my doors
I stare at the city, I stare at my city
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by the vampires
I wanna get back to New Orleans
I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
Go down Bourbon Street
Go down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Go on down, go on down, go on down
Go on down Bourbon Street
In the city of tears, lies the city's ghost
NOLA a place like no other .
Great song! However, I could have done without the images from Katrina in the video. That storm severely affected us, but it does not define us! We are working hard to put that part of our history behind us and make our city better than ever!
lovely♡
All I wanted was to go home
@kelly78kay I think it's Van Gogh...I'm not sure but I think it's him!!!!
@CoachVic7 I agree, good song, didn't need those Katrina images.
This could've been an excellent Fleetwood Mac track. Wonderful song. I guess the Mac loses out.
@BianchiRoadshow
Were you here during Katrina?
@BianchiRoadshow
Saw that your hometown is San Diego, do you live in New Orleans now?
for ur information America is the whole continent, not USA . i hate how the world thinks america is only USA.. that sucks
Lol...brush by vampires :D I knock thier butt down :l Who do you voodoo? :l
I freakin' LOVE this song, its one of my faves from the new CD :)
