Every Day Lyrics

Cover art for Every Day lyrics by Stevie Nicks

I think Stevie wrote this song around the movie 'Great Expectations'. In the lyrics, "Don't keep me hangin' on a string" and "Everyday I see you", "Everyday I see you", she is making a comparison to the the character, Miss Havisham who had been jilted on her wedding day and forever remained broken hearted in old age. In Stevie's music video you can see comparisons to the movie with a large table adorned with a dusty candelabra, a banquet of decaying food and cobweb covered goblets. In the movie 'Great Expectations' we see the abandoned wedding table with elegant settings now tarnished and overgrown with vines.

@whyanbeel But Stevie didn't write this song - "Producer John Shanks sent Stevie Nicks an envelope labeled “Every Day.” Inside was the demo for “Every Day,” a song which Shanks and songwriter Damon Johnson had written for Stevie to record. When Stevie walked past her office desk and saw the envelope, the title reminded her of Buddy Holly’s hit 1957 “Everyday.” From that connection, Stevie decided to record the song" - this can be found on Internet.
