All The Kings Horses

All The King's Horses Demo (Mid to late 80's)


This demo track was written and recorded to be on her 1986 Rock a Little Album.  This is the extended demo which features her background vocalists, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks.  It is an example of the beauty of creating a song.  She is figuring out "what works" on this track along with her background singers.  Nothing is definite, but it is still beautiful.  Her vocals are untouched and is signifies the true talent that this singer possesses.  That talent is something that lacks into present day music.
  The three girls are playing around with the lyric arrangement and harmonies.  In my opinion, this song is written about a relationship that could not be saved, but the passion and desire is still present.  The relationship could not work, but everytime she sees this "special someone", she can not fight the temptation of being with him. The lyrics "Not all the kings horses not all the kings men", resurfaces on her Trouble in Shangri-La album.  The song is called Fall From Grace.  , which leads me to say..yes....this song was written once again for Buckingham.  Its little clues like that, which are proof that Nicks' songs are somehow related with one another.  It is proof that her lyrics are formed upon real life situations.  It is such a  haunting song.  Listen to it at mark 5:14 onward.  Who thought that the children's story Humpty Dumpty could be so breathtaking?
