Luminiferous - Scarve

Advantages: A Fantastic album that turns heartbreak into happiness an excellent personal experience from gabrielle
Disadvantages: May get dismissed as a classic like I nearly did

...to a party with her friends and she has her eyes set on a man and that she will do anything she can to get her hands on him. You can kind of get the feeling a bunch of women big hair, sunglasses, bright lipstick and scarves driving along in an open top car on their way to a party just like Thelma and Louise. It sounds fun and the feel of the song is just plain and simple happy. Tell Me What You Dream This is the first proper ballad on the album and it is fantastic, it is different from Gabrielle’s usual style, her vocals are clearer and not as high as they usually are.

With it's unmistakeable guitar riff at the opening, it reveals a tune that couldn't possibly be mistaken for anything else. For anyone lucky enough to have witnessed them live, it was a chance where Nicks would perform the most gliding of dances across the stage covered in floating scarves. A trade mark which caught in quickly with the help of this record. Undoubtedly, the most optimistic, feel good record by any artist in the twentieth century was 'Don't Stop.'
