" Twisted" is a relatively obscure song from 1996. The song was
written by Stevie Nicks for the Helen Hunt tornado disaster movie called
Twister. As was often is this case, in the 1990's era of "music
inspired by" but not actually in the movie soundtracks you can barely
find the song in the movie. Stevie Nicks has often recorded stand alone
songs for movies and movie soundtracks, and this one of the best of
those songs. Even now, the song is only available on the soundtrack
album for the movie, although a solo versions of the song was
released on the Stevie Nicks, box set, Enchanted, and on 24 Karat Gold.
What I love about this record is the rare chance to hear Stevie and Lindsey
singing together on a excellent song. Stevie excels at backing vocals/
harmonies almost more so than at Lead Vocals and on this record I love
the drama she imparts to "the sun goes down, crazy men, crazy women"
parts at the end. This song also features Mick Fleetwood on Drums
making it almost a Fleetwood Mac reunion, and this was one of the
sessions that led the group to decide to get back together in their
classic lineup for 1996's "The Dance" Concert/TV special. Here is rare live recording of the song, with just Stevie on it. Here she does the song a bit more clearly...with more enunciation on the lyrics....
