*+* Has anyone ever written anything for you? *+*

This is one of those stories in Rock & Roll history I thought for the longest time was just a story: I got interested in seeing if there was fact behind the story.

"Has anyone ever written anything for you", Has always touched my heart, then to find out it was true adds to how emotional the song is for me.

~ In Stevie Nick's Own Words......

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You. Probably um, in my own way this is probably my most intense song. What happened with this song is uh, I was, we went on the Wild Heart Tour in like, I guess it was 1984, something like that. Joe Walsh was opening for me and we became friends. And I was very uptight about something that was going on and, I don't even remember what it was. But Joe felt that is was important in the scheme of our lives to tell me a story that would make me rise above all of it.

And so, we were in Denver and he rented a jeep and he drove me up to Boulder, which is like an hour and a half, and told me this story on the way of a little girl that was killed in an accident in the morning on her way to nursery school. His little girl, in Boulder. And he kinda drove up to this park and I knew something, I knew he was gonna show me something that was gonna freak me out 'cause I was already totally upset by the time we got to Boulder. And we walked across this park and there was this little silver drinking fountain, and it said uh, 'To Emma Kristen, for all those who can't, or aren't big enough to get a drink.'

And something about this story touched me so deeply that I went home to me house in Phoenix, I got out of the car, I walked into the front entryway, where my Bosendorfer piano is, I sat down at the piano and I wrote this song. And I wrote it in about five minutes, the whole thing. So that is what this song is about.

This little fountain is dedicated to Emma Kristen Walsh and sits in a

lovely park in Boulder, CO. The story inspired the emotional song,
