Planets of the Universe Demo (1976)
Besides Silver Springs, (two posts down) this is a song that belonged on the Rumours album. It is dark and truthful. It is literally dark. In fact, the demo track for this is entitled "No Light". If you listen to the tone in her voice, you can feel her pain. This was a demo that was made for the Rumours album. Nicks is not known for her instrumental use. Her instrument is her voice as well as songwriting abilities....and well, maybe a tambourine.
This song later emerged on her 2001 CD, Trouble in Shangri-La. She added a bit of a dance/fast beat to the song to give it a little update. In my opinion, I like this demo version better. It is a perfect example of how a rough demo track can be better than the "clean" released track.
