The prodigy son of Minnesota came to studio and in less than 24 hrs. He makes up the synth and the rest is History! A classic and beautiful song so structured and balance. Totally 80s !
Am I the only one who would give up their cell phone, computer n delivery apps to go back to the 80’s? I would give it all up in a heartbeat to go back to Walkman’s n VCR tapes.
No if I could I’d go back to those days no cells, computers , would love walkmans and vcr for sure again where we watched mtv kids actually were outside playing !! Not stuck in a house with no means of life !
Makes you wonder if in a few decades someone will say ‘Am I the only one who would give up this ChatGPT, these androids, the self driving cars and all this, just to go back to when we had iPhones, Facebook, and a much simpler life.’ I’m from the 80s and I totally agree with you.
@@ahmeda.3198 but that's what every generation says about the last I'm coming up to 50 and it makes me laugh seeing my generation turn into old fogies. Today they complain about iPhones. Before that, it was violent video games. When I was a kid it was too much TV. And the old people in the 80s said "these kids stay in all day watching TV. Not like in our day, we played outside". Or with music. In the 80s they said "all this horrible music is made with computers" & 40 years later, they say the same thing.
I never thought about this before, but you are exactly right. There was always something about Stevie's voice that was just timelessly unique to my ears. Yeah.. it's that distinctive raspy voice. Same with Tina Turner. RIP to these two greats of music history.
Just saw her in concert (Greenville, SC) she's amazing! 70 yrs old,still hot and didn't take a break for almost 2 hours! Voice is still unbelievably amazing!!
She hasn't been hot for a long, long time. Stop. She's a legend of the business and has one of the most distinctive voices, but let's not get delusional about her looks.
If you really think about it... there's not many songs out there quite like it... it was impressive and unique then, and it's the same today all these years later. I will say the same about "Edge of Seventeen" two years prior in 1981. Stevie just had/has that power and that magic. She was definitely rock, but yet she defied the typical song arrangements and formats. I feel that way about a lot of her songs... both solo and with Fleetwood Mac. She took you away on this meandering journey with all those lyrics and those vocal arrangements. Even if you weren't sure what the hell she was talking about, it still kept you intrigued and captivated... and soon it became personal and emotional for you too, as the listener. And, I don't believe Stevie makes any conscious effort to do that with her writing, that's just her own personal style. It's not something you learn in a class. It's just who and what she is as an artist. And how lucky we all are as fans to be taken along for the ride.
Stevie has the talent, the looks, the gift. That voice is just incredible. Nothing on this earth can sing like this. A true blessing unto all of us. Thank you so much for this. Beautiful!
Stevie Nicks wrote it, she just borrowed the opening riff from his Little Red Corvette Song and that was it. She had to get his permission to use it after she heard it on the radio and then wrote her song on her way to Las Vegas. He didn't write the rest of the music or lyrics to this song. So only the opening is credited to Prince. Though I agree, he was a Bad add musician and musical genius. The song is killer because of Stevie Nicks and Princes contribution to the instrumental opening.
In the 80s. Music and dance had another level, sensuality, powerful, it was contagious! I will listen to this till the day i die. Steve nicks is also part of the good times.
Oh yesss, folks: this nightingale voice of music goddess Stevie Nicks, especially this song of her, will never bore and still gives me goosebumps. I was very much alive at that time, in 1983, when I was 18 years young. So, while I'm 56 now, back in the 70's and of course the marvelous 80's I will and cannot forget those outstanding music decades. Sometimes I really want to go back to that fucking unforgettable time of my very great youth. Those were the very best days of my life!
You are so right!!! I would go back to those days in a heartbeat!! What a time to be alive!!! Music was great and the people where cool and I had so much fun!!!!
I heard an interview Stevie did explaining how Prince agreed to work on and record this track with her. Apparently she called him and he came into the studio, laid his keyboard tracks down in one take and in 20minutes left the building. She went on to say when they play this song live she uses two keyboardists. She said he was the greatest musician she had ever met.
I am one of those people with the ability to listen to a single song on repeat for hours/days/weeks without getting bored. It's currently this. Reminiscing the 2 times I've seen Stevie live, once with Mac once solo.
It was sometime in 1983 I was at home relaxing after a long hot day of work with an adult beverage and turned on the TV and it was Friday night videos and there was this video! That was the night I fell in love with Stevie Nicks! Her look, her voice, her presence! Every time I watch this video it takes me back to that night! Thanks Stevie! 😘

The White Witch. Love this song. No current female singer can touch her.
Music from the 80's never gets old. Now I see the videos with the songs and realize how old all of us from this decade has gotten. Its pretty mind blowing to see all of us now and how much time has passed and flew by quickly. I'm in my late 50s now.
Yeah I know it growing old sucks everything was so much better back then MTV videos 4 channels of good TV now we have 600 channels of crap and the music from today sucks as well everything is tasteless and phony and lousy thank God for recreational drugs
I'm African American before there was Bet there was MTV and when I tell you I loved me some Stevie Nicks ❤ Wow I wish I could bring back those days 😢 😪 I miss the 80s so much .
whenever I am stressed out by life, I "put on an Album" by Stevie Nicks. My stress is gone and life is better because of Stevie Nicks music. Thank You for being in my life Stevie. Thank You.
I'm 66 retired living abroad on the beach and still rocking to their songs everyday. I was so much in love with STEVIE😅 So many good memories of the 70s
She is the only artist I know of that has not had singers copy her. Her voice is one of a kind and absolutely fabulous. Forever, the one and only, The One!
There are actually a few, and they do her great justice too I might add! Linus Love does an ABSOLUTELY fantastic cover of this song which is still one of my favourites of all time, check it out :) th-cam.com/video/w6I7YY2Gw80/w-d-xo.html
One of the best synth beats ever made. She called Prince on a whim and asked if she could come over cause she had song idea and lyrics. He wrote this for her in like 2 hours. Amazing.. Prince was one in ten billion.
Close. Prince actually came to her and met Stevie at the recording studio. Here’s the back story: “We (Stevie and her husband) were driving up to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara when Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" came on the radio. Nicks started humming along to the melody, especially inspired by the lush synthesizers on the song. The couple retrieved a tape recorder and Nicks recorded the demo in the honeymoon suite that night. Later, when Nicks went into the studio to record the song, she called Prince and told him the story of how she wrote the song to his melody. On the night of February 8, 1983, Prince came to the studio and played synthesizers on it, although his contribution is uncredited on the album. He and Nicks did agree however to split the publishing royalties on the song 50-50. Then, she says, "he just got up and left as if the whole thing happened in a dream."
Soon approaching was my graduation from junior high. I was a happy kid then. The MUSIC throughout ALL of 1983 was the best and most memorable of my entire life, and I still love and listen to Stevie even today. Probably my favorite female artist.
Born in 79. This is forever on my playlist..I watched “Top Gun” last night too lol even though I was in navy aviation and the movie is hilarious once I saw the my exact job could’ve never killed Goose
In 1980, I graduated from high school, stepping out of the wonderful disco era of the 70's and taking a giant leap forward into the 80's - I've never been the same since. :)
Absolutely agree. This was me and my fiancé’s first song. 1984 .. we were in a car wreck. He was in a coma for 10 months. He died after putting up one hell of a fight. This song kills me when I hear it. I still love him day as I did then.
@Danny Smith All of the evil still exists today. Staying on topic, the 80s were the best! Just some advise for you Danny, stop being so negative and enjoy life. The people around you will thank you for it.
I have been madly truly head over heels in love with Stevie Nicks for my entire life. My crush as a young teen. Her music has had such a profound effect on us. What a gift to us all.
People have driven the word Iconic into the ground in recent years. They call everything iconic. But Stevie Nicks is truly deserving of the word ICONIC .
agree, Most of our ICONs have passed away. The music of the past made ICONS, not everyone is a legend, no matter album sales or award noms. we have very few ICONs left and legends even more so. Todays POPULAR artists won't become legends. Meaning, changing MUSIC, talent and writing and owning their own music and able to play it, write it, produce it, arrange it. ALONE.
@@hlowrylong She's loved, reminds me of a female Donald Trump...who's loved too...Bring him back, this song reminds me of him, great President that should get way more credit/respect
I love the story of how this song was written. Stevie was on her way to her honeymoon and heard Prince's "Little Red Corvette" on the radio and was immediately inspired to write this song. She detoured from her honeymoon to get into the recording studio and got Prince's number. They had never met. She called him and told him that she was working on a song inspired by his "Little Red Corvette" and that she was giving him 50% of the royalties for the song if it ever became successful. She asked him what he was doing right that moment and if he could come into the studio to play on the recording. He said yes and was there in 20 mins. He worked on it and played on it in the studio with Stevie and her crew for about an hour and a half, and this is the result. Pretty great stuff.
The Professor of Rock channel just did a episode on this song, and told the story of how it was written on her honeymoon. And was inspired by Prince's, "Little Red Corvette" that she heard on the radio. I love this song so very much. This is more prof that the 80's rocked. Thank you.
I was 4 years old when this song came out, and my dad, G_d rest his soul, put it on the record player and I fell in love with this song even at that young age! Now, exactly 40 years later, here I am continuing to jam to it on TH-cam! Love everything about this song and just love Stevie Nicks!
❤ STEVIE ❤ I'M 7O IN AUGUST, & STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG & VIDEO. . .STEVIE'S VOICE & HER "LOOK". . .LOOOVE HER "WHISPIE" TURNS IN HER AWWWESOME ATTIRE & SHE'S STILL GORGEOUS IN HER 7Os ❤ THANK YOU, STEVIE FOR DECADES OF YOUR MUSIC & VOICE ❤ KEEP IT GOIN ❤️
Amazing that Stevie can do country, hard rock, soft rock, ballads, and this has sort of a disco feel. You wouldn't think such a distinct voice could also be so versatile.
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE ! Powerfull synth riff, great melody and what about the UNIQUE voice of Stevie Nicks! Rich, crispy and sooo poweful voice, Not mentionning the video, wich the dark tone and red shady background gives a kind of mystical side to the song and the artist. I’ll remember forever the first time I head this song for the first time. I was in a dance club I was hypnotised by the giant screen and the obviously loud sound system.
@@milt6208 Agree for the most part, but there was some good stuff coming out in the 90's. The 2000's is when music officially died. You started seeing a lot of electronic music being made, by people with no true musical talent. Even the vocals was lack luster.
I'd say the roughly 20 years btw mid 1970s to mid to late 1990s was the golden age of popular music, people will be listening to that period in 200 years
I had no idea about Stand Back but now I sure hear his mark! www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/15-great-prince-songs-that-were-hits-for-other-artists-72421/stevie-nicks-stand-back-1983-171532/
The great Steve Lukather and Waddy Wachtel are on this song as well. Both legends as well. Prince was gone way too soon. I cried when I heard he passed. Sucks getting older.
Yup it could be a hundred years from now and this song and many hits from the 80's will still be played and still be the best than todays and anything the future of music could come up with. 80's music was on a whole nother level and can't be topped.
I couldn’t have stated that better!!!!🎉 The 80’s was an experience, a lifestyle, and it was epic. A little 80’s trivia/treasure hunting for ya. If you weren’t already aware, look into who Stevie collaborated with to make this song so special. It was only after I learned who it was that i immediately identified that special signature sound. Let me know if you knew or were surprised. Enjoy your weekend.
@@Daniel-bm4cv I didn't know either until you said look it up. So I did and found out it was Prince. That's cool. Thank you and enjoy your weekend as well.
Listen up youngsters.. she would have been eliminated the first week on American Idol.. yet her voice is ICONIC and she is one of the BEST singers out there! The best artists didn't get to where they are today by trying to sound like everyone else. Celebrate being different.. own it!! We need more of this!
You are right lol they have a certain way they want you to sound I've loved her voice from day one I was 10 years old when this came out and this is one of the songs that made me look into other types of music
I was a kid in the 80s, I do remember how well this song was received by the audience and the proof was the hundreds of times it used to be played on the radio within a month.
Love you Stevie! Wild Heart was and always will be a great album. It's still in my rotation and likely always will be. I'll never be free of the nostalgia this and other music like it brings.
Stevie's voice is so remarkable, no matter what song she sings she makes it herown. Been a fan since i heard her with Tom Petty and of course Fleetwood. Nearly 2024 and she still Rocks . Have a Happy Christmas and a Great New Year . You will Forever be my Favourite Gypsy Lady from the 🇬🇧
Stevie was my first childhood musical crush when I was 14. The fact that she was 20 years older than me didn't matter at all. That voice and that face did everything for me.
I saw an interview years ago about how he came to the studio and didn't say much just made a few adjustments/suggestions and left. I think he could be very shy at times...Precious!
@@jenniferdolson8148 The company my dad works for has vending machines in Paisley Park. Nicest staff of any building he has stopped in. I don't know if those machines are still there, but I saw one painted purple in a newspaper article.
@@fuzer909 I think he appreciated people for good work...he seemed to also know how blessed he was and not everyone gets so financially blessed but hard work got him there...no shame in honest work done well, whether it's filling pop machines well or on a stage...being kind to people shows respect for life and where people find themselves in it...no judgement
*Stand back* [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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) To be standing in a line I would cry [Post-Chorus] La la la la la la la la la La la La la la la la [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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) To be standing in a line I would cry [Post-Chorus] La la la la la la la la la La la La la la la la la la Doo-doo, doo-doo La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la, wo-ah [Breakdown] So, I walked, walked 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 [Chorus] 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) To be standing in a line I would cry [Outro] Need a little, need a little sympathy Well, I need a little sympathy (Cry) Well, I need a little sympathy Well, you could be standing in (Stand back) Well, you could be standing in (Stand back) Well, you could be standing in (Stand back) Take me home Take me home (Stand back) Won't you take me home? Well, I need a little sympathy (Stand back) Well, you could be standing in (Stand back) Why don't you take me home? Why don't you take me home? (Stand back) Take me home (Alright) Take me home (Alright)
I absolutely love her voice, she has an original pitch & any song by her the louder it is, the better it sounds. I bet Fleetwood Mac regrets losing her.
Maybe for the video? New generation dont understand videos were just like that.. Today they like women shaking their butts in videos, no matter how they sing.. so sad.🤷♂️

I'm right with you ...I love the 6o, 70 and 80 music
How are you doing nice meeting you online? Where are you originally from
Yeah I know it growing old sucks everything was so much better back then MTV videos 4 channels of good TV now we have 600 channels of crap and the music from today sucks as well everything is tasteless and phony and lousy thank God for recreational drugs
52 and the 80s represents an entire generation Gen X and the music doesn't get better
This song reminds me so much of my mom, who passed away in 2009. She would always jam to Stevie Nicks. Miss you Ma. 🕊️
💕💕💕💕
Always someone in the comments referring to a dead relative. Keep it light.
Sorry to tell you, but Stevie nicks is a SATANIST! Your momma is at home ...and you will see her when it's your time! GOD IS GOOD 🙏🏾
This song and video is further proof that the '80's was the BEST decade for music!
You know the true music, the Eighties, I congratulate you for your comment.
@@profesorluisfernando7202 Thank you very much! 😊 All the best to you!!
Andrew B I 2nd that
@@rodneybenbow1787 Thank you, Rodney! Pleased to know there are many who appreciate the brilliance of the '80's!
Andrew B you’re welcome she was one of my favorite singers from that time along with Daryl Hall and John Oates
Born in 72,child of the 80s ,was a great time to be alive ,only one raspy Stevie nicks.
agree born same year, 80's were the best and love Stevie
Yup my friend....same year....we had it good in the 80s.
73 here…we were the lucky ones ❤
The 80s were fab
80s best decade ever
The magic of the 80's. So happy I was a teenager and lived all this
I was 16 and also so glad to live thru the 80s
Me too!
I wish I lived at that time !!
Im Jelous 🖤
@@gustavoleon7029 you can still live it through videos !

Stevie Nicks captures hearts with every breath, and wink of the eye.
Calm down.
I'm African American before there was Bet there was MTV and when I tell you I loved me some Stevie Nicks ❤ Wow I wish I could bring back those days 😢 😪 I miss the 80s so much .
*#THATPART**🎯* 🧑🏽🙏🏽🤎
When I finish building my time machine, I'll give you a call. 😁
@@michaelmarino7391 🤣🤣🤣
Me too👍👍💃
Same here, this was the jam! Loved and Rocked to the big 80’s
The Lord blessed us all in the 80s with superb music.. did he not?
This track captures so much of the ‘80s. Yet, it’s timeless.
Another class act by Stevie !!!
It took prince about 5minutes that track
classic
Too much of 80's. Everything had to have a dance beat. Stevie is great but what they did to this video is sick.
right?
whenever I am stressed out by life, I "put on an Album" by Stevie Nicks. My stress is gone and life is better because of Stevie Nicks music. Thank You for being in my life Stevie. Thank You.
Charles R. I do the same lol # Cherie Balfer
I'm 66 retired living abroad on the beach and still rocking to their songs everyday. I was so much in love with STEVIE😅 So many good memories of the 70s
She will always remain one of my favorite
She's a Queen is her RIGHT ❤🤍🤍🔥
She is the only artist I know of that has not had singers copy her. Her voice is one of a kind and absolutely fabulous. Forever, the one and only, The One!
Lanie Gardner is great!
Elaine Edenfield from the GA band Warehouse
❤️
There are actually a few, and they do her great justice too I might add!
Linus Love does an ABSOLUTELY fantastic cover of this song which is still one of my favourites of all time, check it out :)
th-cam.com/video/w6I7YY2Gw80/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the same thing!!!
For their era, no one had as much pure vocal talent as Steve Perry and Stevie Nicks. Timeless classics.
Ann Wilson enters the chat !
And Jerry Rafferty
Par Benatar is smiling.
Brad Delp knocks on the door
And it's not even close...
It's simply like nothing else, her voice ,the rasp,the melody is so good
The melody is so good because it is Prince
The best
@@doggiedoter It's inspired by Prince.
I just came in my pants!
❤❤
still in 2024
One of the best synth beats ever made. She called Prince on a whim and asked if she could come over cause she had song idea and lyrics. He wrote this for her in like 2 hours. Amazing.. Prince was one in ten billion.
My thoughts exactly. Well said
Close. Prince actually came to her and met Stevie at the recording studio.
Here’s the back story:
“We (Stevie and her husband) were driving up to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara when Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" came on the radio. Nicks started humming along to the melody, especially inspired by the lush synthesizers on the song. The couple retrieved a tape recorder and Nicks recorded the demo in the honeymoon suite that night. Later, when Nicks went into the studio to record the song, she called Prince and told him the story of how she wrote the song to his melody. On the night of February 8, 1983, Prince came to the studio and played synthesizers on it, although his contribution is uncredited on the album. He and Nicks did agree however to split the publishing royalties on the song 50-50. Then, she says, "he just got up and left as if the whole thing happened in a dream."
Stevie Nicks solo song really caused the music world to "Stand Back". Four decades after it became a hit this beat never gets old.
2023 NEVER GETS OLD.
❤
This song is in my practice list on keyboards. I play it every day.
Released on May 19th, 1983. 41 years and 2 days ago. What a powerful song.
My mom's 30th birthday 😮
My 9th bday
Soon approaching was my graduation from junior high. I was a happy kid then. The MUSIC throughout ALL of 1983 was the best and most memorable of my entire life, and I still love and listen to Stevie even today. Probably my favorite female artist.
Born in 79. This is forever on my playlist..I watched “Top Gun” last night too lol even though I was in navy aviation and the movie is hilarious once I saw the my exact job could’ve never killed Goose
In 1980, I graduated from high school, stepping out of the wonderful disco era of the 70's and taking a giant leap forward into the 80's - I've never been the same since. :)
One of her best songs.
Stevie nicks is unreal with talent.
Goddes
With Prince on the keyboard!
Thank Prince!
Absolutely agree. This was me and my fiancé’s first song. 1984 .. we were in a car wreck. He was in a coma for 10 months. He died after putting up one hell of a fight. This song kills me when I hear it. I still love him day as I did then.
Most likely her best song
80s were the best, we were so blessed.
@Danny Smith All of the evil still exists today. Staying on topic, the 80s were the best! Just some advise for you Danny, stop being so negative and enjoy life. The people around you will thank you for it.
Then came Chris cornell( 1980 to 2017
I never stop thinking about the 80s best of times . Still listen to Stevie everyday
I have been madly truly head over heels in love with Stevie Nicks for my entire life. My crush as a young teen. Her music has had such a profound effect on us. What a gift to us all.
Her voice !!! So unique and original. Still listening in 2023. I just love her!❤❤❤❤
I'm going to see her live in KC this month I CAN'T WAIT!
An incredible song!!!
Saw her in concert last year. Truly amazing .
@@aldiggydog She was amazing!
One of a kind voice.
Her look, her dress, her movements, her … I could go on. Everything is perfect about this woman. Ohh, Stevie 😊
Brian Wilson wrote a song about her...
@@knockedoutloaded279 which song was that?
@@Kiwigucci Stebie.. - unreleased, but on utuve..v good song..
The song I play when the homies ain’t in the car
@@masonf7332 😂😂😂❤
People have driven the word Iconic into the ground in recent years. They call everything iconic. But Stevie Nicks is truly deserving of the word ICONIC .
She's lasted generations & still amazes us all with her talent & music!!
agree, Most of our ICONs have passed away. The music of the past made ICONS, not everyone is a legend, no matter album sales or award noms. we have very few ICONs left and legends even more so. Todays POPULAR artists won't become legends. Meaning, changing MUSIC, talent and writing and owning their own music and able to play it, write it, produce it, arrange it. ALONE.
Thank Godess for Stevie Nicks. So many amazing songs through her career. I miss the 80's.
Stevie did an amazing job with this song tonight at the Bangor Maine Amphitheater!!
We love you Stevie! At 74yrs young you did a phenomenal concert!!!
That was a fantastic show. Was there too.. Crowded but fun :)
Wow.
I am 50 so I figured she had to be over 70, but didn’t really want to know. Seeing her in Tampa soon. Can’t wait. I saw her in 89 or 90. HFS
@@hlowrylong She's loved, reminds me of a female Donald Trump...who's loved too...Bring him back, this song reminds me of him, great President that should get way more credit/respect
I love the story of how this song was written. Stevie was on her way to her honeymoon and heard Prince's "Little Red Corvette" on the radio and was immediately inspired to write this song. She detoured from her honeymoon to get into the recording studio and got Prince's number. They had never met. She called him and told him that she was working on a song inspired by his "Little Red Corvette" and that she was giving him 50% of the royalties for the song if it ever became successful. She asked him what he was doing right that moment and if he could come into the studio to play on the recording. He said yes and was there in 20 mins. He worked on it and played on it in the studio with Stevie and her crew for about an hour and a half, and this is the result. Pretty great stuff.
😘😎😄🖤💚💙💜❤💛
Have you tripped that the percussive keyboard part he wrote for her eerily resembles the lead percussive riff of "I would Die 4 U...🤔" inverted. 😀
Wow, I never knew that. Amazing!
... musicology doesn't have credibility...
I was streamin when I rote dis, so suit me if I parody...
Another Prince hit! We’re still here in almost Nov 2024 💕
Yeah Friday morning. Getting ready for tonight❤😂🎉
Love her raspy voice only Stevie can rock it❤❤
The Professor of Rock channel just did a episode on this song, and told the story of how it was written on her honeymoon. And was inspired by Prince's, "Little Red Corvette" that she heard on the radio. I love this song so very much. This is more prof that the 80's rocked. Thank you.
I was 4 years old when this song came out, and my dad, G_d rest his soul, put it on the record player and I fell in love with this song even at that young age! Now, exactly 40 years later, here I am continuing to jam to it on TH-cam! Love everything about this song and just love Stevie Nicks!
Good that your dad gave you this gift
Bless your father!
The opening and that twirl. Best intro everrrr.
Stevie’s voice is just phenomenal! I’ve never heard anyone ever get close to her sound. Incredible!
Kim Carnes- Bette Davis Eyes. Kate Bush- running up that hill
❤ STEVIE ❤ I'M 7O IN AUGUST, & STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG & VIDEO. . .STEVIE'S VOICE & HER "LOOK". . .LOOOVE HER "WHISPIE" TURNS IN HER AWWWESOME ATTIRE & SHE'S STILL GORGEOUS IN HER 7Os ❤ THANK YOU, STEVIE FOR DECADES OF YOUR MUSIC & VOICE ❤ KEEP IT GOIN ❤️
Stevie's voice is so distinctive you don't even have to see her to know who is singing.
It didn’t work. All I heard was a phenomenal Artist doing her thang. 💯 Sang, Stevie! 😃🎶
Yes. It. Is
😂 first time I heard her I thought she was a Muppet....... I've always loved her songs
@@curtiswhiteheadjr1322 wg&.zzd22w/o
She is my all time favorite female artist and I love her music. She hits your spirit
I remember when this song hit the air waves. I was like, Damn, she is amazing.
She was already amazing on Buckingham Nicks ten years earlier 😉
Ugh...one of the best ever. Stevie Nicks is one of the best vocalist of all time. Hauntingly beautiful.
She's so sexy in this video.
This is my favorite song. Stevie Nick's is truly gifted ❤❤❤
Amazing that Stevie can do country, hard rock, soft rock, ballads, and this has sort of a disco feel. You wouldn't think such a distinct voice could also be so versatile.
Sort of like a precursor/bridge to 80's Eurodance/synth pop.
Plus, she wrote or cowrote all or most of her music
The love of my youth. I still get gossebumps if I watch her videos and hear her amazing unique voice. Absolutely fantastic woman. 🥰👍
Makes me feel 17 again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE !
Powerfull synth riff, great melody and what about the UNIQUE voice of Stevie Nicks!
Rich, crispy and sooo poweful voice,
Not mentionning the video, wich the dark tone and red shady background gives a kind of mystical side to the song and the artist.
I’ll remember forever the first time I head this song for the first time. I was in a dance club I was hypnotised by the giant screen and the obviously loud sound system.
The 80's was such a great time to be alive !! I miss those days so much !! Life was so good then ,we had all the amazing music 😊😊😊
My God I'm 63 what a song. Song still strong ❤
Stevie Nick's: the prettiest rock legend ever.
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for🌹🌹🌹
FUCK OFF
Things were real back then...all of them.Blondie..Kim Wilde..Laura Brannigan...
Stevie nicks is a legand.
Ohmygosh~RW
I don’t give a damn if you disagree the 1980s was the last decade for great music!
So true.
@@milt6208 Agree for the most part, but there was some good stuff coming out in the 90's. The 2000's is when music officially died. You started seeing a lot of electronic music being made, by people with no true musical talent. Even the vocals was lack luster.
I'd say the roughly 20 years btw mid 1970s to mid to late 1990s was the golden age of popular music, people will be listening to that period in 200 years
Agree!
Right On 👍💜
Just another unbelievabley amazing hit 🎯 by the great stevie nicks!!... Simply unparalleled!!👍🎯👌!!
Prince helped with the background to this song, just so you know. And Stevie appreciated it! Legends who produced a work of art.
I had no idea about Stand Back but now I sure hear his mark!
www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/15-great-prince-songs-that-were-hits-for-other-artists-72421/stevie-nicks-stand-back-1983-171532/
The great Steve Lukather and Waddy Wachtel are on this song as well. Both legends as well. Prince was gone way too soon. I cried when I heard he passed. Sucks getting older.
Prince , damn. love it
The background? You mean the actual music? lol
Stevie couldn't figure out an intro for the song Prince did the whole intro and music she loved it and took no credit for it
Anyone listening December 2024?
Yup it could be a hundred years from now and this song and many hits from the 80's will still be played and still be the best than todays and anything the future of music could come up with. 80's music was on a whole nother level and can't be topped.
I couldn’t have stated that better!!!!🎉
The 80’s was an experience, a lifestyle, and it was epic.
A little 80’s trivia/treasure hunting for ya. If you weren’t already aware, look into who Stevie collaborated with to make this song so special. It was only after I learned who it was that i immediately identified that special signature sound.
Let me know if you knew or were surprised. Enjoy your weekend.
@@Daniel-bm4cv I didn't know either until you said look it up. So I did and found out it was Prince. That's cool. Thank you and enjoy your weekend as well.
Stevie Nicks Artist Ride on Peloton brought me here.
Yes, I am listening good 80's music.
Stevie Nick's has a voice like no other..Distinctive. No one that I can think of ever tried to cover one of her songs..that says a lot..
Hi Christianne. Listen to Rod stewart's version. Its great too
Prob Miley cyrus
The sentimentality this song inspires from the 70s is overwhelming
My mother's favorite song. My mom died, but I willl always remember this song with my mom. Great song.
Hello martin This is my new favorite song interesting I enjoying her songs what about you
Listen up youngsters.. she would have been eliminated the first week on American Idol.. yet her voice is ICONIC and she is one of the BEST singers out there! The best artists didn't get to where they are today by trying to sound like everyone else. Celebrate being different.. own it!! We need more of this!
This is my new favorite internet comment💓💓💓
you get it
You are right lol they have a certain way they want you to sound I've loved her voice from day one I was 10 years old when this came out and this is one of the songs that made me look into other types of music
This is so true.
*You're
The beat is insane! Love her unique style of singing and her fashion statement!
I was a kid in the 80s, I do remember how well this song was received by the audience and the proof was the hundreds of times it used to be played on the radio within a month.
Love you Stevie! Wild Heart was and always will be a great album. It's still in my rotation and likely always will be. I'll never be free of the nostalgia this and other music like it brings.
Stevie's voice is so remarkable, no matter what song she sings she makes it herown.
Been a fan since i heard her with Tom Petty and of course Fleetwood.
Nearly 2024 and she still Rocks .
Have a Happy Christmas and a Great New Year .
You will Forever be my Favourite Gypsy Lady from the 🇬🇧
Stevie Nicks bravooooooooo!!!!!☺️❤️🥰🎼🎵🎶👍👏👏
Her voice is so amazing, she had different tones to her voice too, pure talent.
Stevie was my first childhood musical crush when I was 14. The fact that she was 20 years older than me didn't matter at all. That voice and that face did everything for me.
This takes me back to the early 80s, when I was just a kid.
Life will never be the same
I was born in '73...the 80's were a roller-coaster ride. By the time 1991 came around i was already missing the 80's.
Same!
80s didn’t really fade out till late 92.......
AWESOME 👍 SONG BRINGS BACK GOOD TIME'S I WAS 13 LIVING IN WORCESTER MASS
Steven . .Take care. Love From Puerto Rico. 💝🌸
For all the people still blaring this, singing their heart, doin' the twirl in 2021... You rock!🙌👩🏻🎤🎹🎶💕
Twirling now Sis!💃🏾
Rocking it still rock out like it was a new song love stevie raspy voice she rocks
Yeah,we got good taste in music.who do u have in your music rotation? Just curious
ROCK ON Lilly…I am still twirling and setting rooms on fire 🔥 in 2022…I’m alrightttttt
I don't it's all you!!!! Keep your beautiful head up ! People need a little bit of hope from Angels 😚
Stevie, you deserve the hall of fame slot. My mother has always loved your music. I grew up listening to you. You know how to make a song. Congrats.
Sure did on my face JoAnne hinmanadomaviciajr she is the truth Ms JoAnne Adomaviciajr is standing up for jesus Christ Amen
I love u forevermore..💗
In my opinion they don’t put many of her on the planet. I’m so glad I grew up in a time where she reigned, now she’s a icon
I must have been 12yrs old when I had the biggest crush on Stevie Nicks, and after all these years I still do. Beautiful in all forms.
Prince and Stevie Nicks in one track! the very best of the 80s!!!!!
Wait what? He helped write this song??
@@innertubez the melody is Prince on the synths, not credited because labels problems.
@@innertubez best singer in the world I love her more than anything
Best of all times
Wow, didn’t know ... no wonder it’s musical awesomeness
This song is a national treasure. Prince and Stevie!!! I can never get tired of either of them. My fav male and female singers.
Truely a masterpiece. Love this song.
RIP Prince Rogers Nelson, Stevie's contributior on this song. Stand back forever in heaven sweet Prince.
I saw an interview years ago about how he came to the studio and didn't say much just made a few adjustments/suggestions and left. I think he could be very shy at times...Precious!
@@jenniferdolson8148 The company my dad works for has vending machines in Paisley Park. Nicest staff of any building he has stopped in. I don't know if those machines are still there, but I saw one painted purple in a newspaper article.
@@fuzer909 I think he appreciated people for good work...he seemed to also know how blessed he was and not everyone gets so financially blessed but hard work got him there...no shame in honest work done well, whether it's filling pop machines well or on a stage...being kind to people shows respect for life and where people find themselves in it...no judgement
jennifer dolson tried asking her out though. He was never shy about trying to get the ladies
I still can’t believe he’s dead. Honestly I’ll never get over that
It’s 2023 and I’m still listening to this!! Definitely a classic!!!

*Stand back*
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la
La la
La la la la la
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Post-Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la
La la
La la la la la la la
Doo-doo, doo-doo
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la, wo-ah
[Breakdown]
So, I walked, walked 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
[Chorus]
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)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Outro]
Need a little, need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy (Cry)
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, you could be standing in (Stand back)
Well, you could be standing in (Stand back)
Well, you could be standing in (Stand back)
Take me home
Take me home (Stand back)
Won't you take me home?
Well, I need a little sympathy (Stand back)
Well, you could be standing in (Stand back)
Why don't you take me home?
Why don't you take me home? (Stand back)
Take me home (Alright)
Take me home (Alright)
I absolutely love her voice, she has an original pitch & any song by her the louder it is, the better it sounds. I bet Fleetwood Mac regrets losing her.
This is very nostalgy. The best chemistry of Prince and Stevie Nicks.
I honestly do not understand the dislikes 🤦🏾♀️. What a voice.
Maybe for the video? New generation dont understand videos were just like that.. Today they like women shaking their butts in videos, no matter how they sing.. so sad.🤷♂️
They don't understand Real Music, Yes I Love Her Voice;-)
Not her best song TBH
Great song. Terrible video
@@gavo1201 Sad but true.
