Winona Ryder (Xy)

Winona - Drop 19s


I thought it would be this song:

Winona - Matthew Sweet


I don't know why, but apparently there are tons of songs about her. What;s the fascination. I found a few others:

Picture This - Winona Ryder (Official Video) (2020)

Rollerskate Skinny Old 97s [This is her favorite song about herself.]

Happy. - Winona Ryder (Official Music Video)

Beck - Lost Cause

Willie Nelson - Lost Cause (Official Audio) [Not sure if Nelson knew this song was about her.]


Beck, and a member of Soul Asylum, and Old 97s dated her, the others presumably made it up. It says she dated Paul Westerberg and Jamiroqui dated her, but it doesn't mention any songs about her. I didn't post any of the Ryan Adams songs.

Hmm I don’t know. Bob Dylan said the best song ever written is ‘Wichita Lineman’

“Johnny Depp’s infamous ‘Winona forever’”

Johnny Depp seems to have moved on to Hedy Lamarr.

Surprised they mentioned the drop 19s. I used to live that band. They were on The Adventures of Pete and Pete a lot as backing music.

In the 1990s, it seemed like everyone was obsessed with Winona Ryder.

Errant statement. I've never heard of her until now.

I think she was in Bettlejuice. I remember her being kind of cute. In fact I remember the Mom being pretty hot too. And recently I read that the guy who played the Dad is now a registered sex offender.

I always liked her. We were both born on Oct. 29.

Daniel Lanois did an album and song called “for the Beauty of Wynona” in 1993. It seems to fit the category of music devoted to Ryder. The best song was “Lotta Love to Give.”

Best song? The one without a name that has no words and no sound.
