this song has to be about rehab. The imperial hotel has to be rehab. Or at least a therapy sort of situation where there's a lot on the 'table'. When the song says, 'baby, baby why am I so alone?' that's reference to her very public relationship with music which she has given up for a family and a marriage. The 'she probably goes under a different name' really gives a good indication about rehab. Great song and very upbeat. Stevie pours her soul into her music. You hear that every time. From her 'storms' days to 'sister honey' to 'illume' you get a piece of her soul with every listen. Interested to hear about other ideas concerning The Imperial Hotel.
@sarabuckingham Man it could be like that. But actually this song is about her friendship with Benmont Tench of The Heartbreakers and she dedicated this song to him :D But who knows - here can be also some references to rehab especially due to fact that it was the time she got more and more addicted: "Why do you do it?" - well I am not Stevie and I don't know what she hid in this line but maybe here is something about her drug/ alcohol addiction and then he asks why she does it - why she destroys herself....
