I mean, the girls got dressed up, we spent a lot of time getting ready every day, and we would go into the studio with them. So everything that we did had to be, you know, it was like we were doing a concert. So it was like whatever we did out there had to be pretty on because it was gonna show up somewhere, and we weren’t going to be able to get rid of it without taking off an initial instrument. The vocals too, the vocals bled right into the drums, you know, and the guitar amps, and everything. Most of this album was done completely recorded with everybody in the room, very few overdubs, very few toppings on the cake. We had the lady singers and myself and all 10 of the guys out in one room recording. “Recording it was the most exciting thing I’ve ever done because everybody felt that there was an electrical charge going through this white winged dove, all the way through that song, and for the three days we worked on recording the track of it. I spent a lot of time thinking about how I would write this song, and I spent a little bit of time with my uncle as he was dying and I knew a lot of people that knew John Lennon, and I felt their pain for him and my own pain as losing him too and the “Edge of Seventeen” just was born out of that.” Recording It was a period of time that I just didn’t know what to do, so I just sat down and wrote about it. ![]() The white winged dove is the spirit going, and the nightbird at the end is the one that is taking. And that’s what the white winged dove is. “The place where it came from when it was written was sad because it came out of my frustration in not knowing exactly how to accept the death of John Lennon or the death of an uncle that I had that died in the same time period of cancer. Read the lyrics to "Edge of Midnight" below.“Edge of Seventeen” was inspired by the sudden deaths of John Lennon and William “Bill” Jonathon Nicks (Stevie’s paternal uncle). "As you well know, I was very taken with that whole picture and went on to write 'Edge of Seventeen.'"

"In 1980 I was flying home from Phoenix Arizona and I was handed a menu that said, 'The white wing dove sings a song that sounds like she's singing ooh, ooh, ooh. And I just don't think that."Īs for the meaning behind "Edge of Seventeen," Nicks shared rare insight earlier this year. ![]() ![]() "You asked me to explain briefly what my song is about, and I think it's my relationship with the stigma that 'forever,' if it's not successful, or if you claim that something to be forever and you fail, then you're a failure. ![]() " of the lyrics that I'd ask everyone to kind of consider and kind of think about for themselves is the idea of 'forever and ever, no more,'" she said in a SiriusXM interview, per Genius. Though some have questioned whether the rebellious single evokes a bitter message about her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, Cyrus clarified that it doesn't. “Midnight Sky,” which Cyrus originally debuted in August, appears on her forthcoming album, Plastic Hearts, due November 27.
