Stevie, what else is there?

Do you know anything about the Planets of the Universe piano demo? When it was and what she might be writing about? It's beautiful but it's unusually angry and solemn, quite bitterly pessimistic for Stevie. The recorded one is also pretty bitter but not as much as this one.
Written around 1976, so a Rumours demo. Lyrics are most definitely about Lindsey and their break up. The lyrics are also heavily inspired by various Edgar Allen Poe poems. The TISL album version omits the angriest (and best) part:
You will remember
But, I will die a slow death
It’s only an overture
To something that was best
And don’t…
Condescend to me
Take your leave
Take your leave
Take your leave of me
Disappear through the air
I wish you gone
And I don’t care
Now…I…know
Ooh, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I…would never dream…
I…would never dream…
Whoa…
I still wish you gone…
And I…will live alone
