I think Stevie only had missed opportunities during the Wild Heart era. MTV and videos were at their peak and her videos were extremely popular. I always believed the Wild Heart died a premature death. I feel it was almost done on purpose releasing the odd ball Nightbird as a single. Even though it made the top 40, there were other songs on the album that could have done much better especially with a video. I will run to you, Nothing ever changes, or even Enchanted.
It just seemed to me when the tour was complete in October 1983, If anyone falls was peaking and fell from the charts and someone figured oh well its done... just release Nightbird so we can call it a day.
Note: Nightbird fans don't flame me. I am not saying I hate the song but for a single off a great album I would not think its single material especially with no video in the peak of the video days.
