Stevie Nicks – “Wild Heart” Backstage Performance

Stevie Nicks – “Wild Heart” Backstage Performance | Society Of Rock Videos

It Doesn’t Get More Real Than This!

This impromptu performance of an early, unreleased version of ‘Wild Heart’ by Stevie Nicks doesn’t get more natural than this! It’s rock’s fairy godmother at her most vulnerable and natural; instead of bewitching a crowd of thousands, Stevie’s in the middle of an incredibly intimate jam session with a friend and her makeup artist backstage as she has her makeup done.

Fun Fact: This “makeup session” demo of ‘Wild Heart’ was recorded from the Bella Donna Rolling Stone photo shoot.

Caught with a “fly on the wall” camera, Stevie’s off the cuff rendition of ‘Wild Heart’ sums up the spirit of the song perfectly, and it’s in this that we’re able to actually sort of see her soul while she sings – just as wild and free as the song she’s singing!

+ Wild Heart lyrics +

Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart
I think the heart broke long ago
That’s when I needed you

That’s when I needed you most
That’s when I needed you
When I needed you most

I run around like a spirit in flight
Fearlessness is fearlessness
I will not forget this night
Dare my wild heart, dare my wild heart

Where is the reason?
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart
As to the seasons
You fought from the beginning long before I knew it
There was a danger
And the danger was to fall in love

In dark sorrow they gaze down into the darkest heart
If I leave you, you say not even you can tear us apart, woh
Say you’re leaving, you say you don’t even know
How to start, how to start, how to start

Well, believe it then and don’t blame it on my soul
Blame it on my wild heart, on my wild heart

Fire on fire, rain on my face
Fever goes higher, what can you do?
Wild in the darkest places in your mind
That’s where I needed you

Where I needed you most
That’s where I needed you
Where I needed you most

Where is the reason?
Well, don’t blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart
There is a reason
Why even the angels don’t give it up at all

Where are the children?
Well, are they hopelessly enchanted? Blame it on the angels
Where are the reasons?
Don’t blame it on us, blame it on our wild heart
Wild heart, wild heart, wild heart

On my wild heart, on my wild heart
Even in the darkest places of your mind
Even in the darkest places of your mind

Where are the children?
Are they hopelessly enchanted?
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
No, don’t blame it on me, baby
Blame it on my wild heart

Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my wild, wild, wild, wild heart
Blame it on my wild heart, blame it
Even in the darkest places of your mind
