''Enchanted'' version

A 1996 demo of the song with Nicks featured on most of the instruments was released on the box set '' Enchanted''. Nicks released the demo because she felt it was important to give the original. Nicks said the following about the song in the ''Enchanted'' liner notes in 1998:

When I was asked to do a song for the movie 'Twister', I had my friend Rebecca read the script. She then gave me the "Reader's Digest" condensed version so I could decide whether to do it or not. As she explained it to me, I realized that this really was... MY story. It was about people who had extreme jobs... like chasing tornadoes, or being in a rock band. Anyway... I really handcrafted this song for the movie. Unfortunately, if you saw the movie, you missed the song... and you certainly missed my message. So I decided to give you the original demo, recorded March 10, 1996 on a 4-track Tascam by my assistant extraordinaire, Karen Johnston. I was living in a beach house overlooking Sunset Boulevard and the Pacific Coast Highway, and beyond that, always... the ocean. When I decided to put this in the "box set," I called Jesse Valenzuela and he put some "vibe" mandolin on it. I love this song. I hope this time... you will understand it.
