Music Monday - Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac

Silver Springs was a song that was supposed to be included on the Rumours album in 1977... but of course back then not as many songs would fit on vinyl as you can fit now onto a CD... so Fleetwood Mac had to eliminate some of the songs that they wanted to include..... Silver Springs was one of those songs. Stevie was very upset by this decision... but she went along with it and Silver Springs became the B-side to the singles Go Your Own Way and The Chain. It was revived however in 1997 when Fleetwood Mac did The Dance Tour... and became a much loved hit. So after 20 years Silver Springs finally became what it should have been.

This a beautiful and haunting song.... Stevie pours her heart and soul into this song.... as she belts out "Time casts a spell on you... that you won't forget me.... I'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you.... you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you".... you know she means it! This song was written to Lindsey (Buckingham... the guitar player... in case you don't know the history of this band and these two.... and the Rumours album for that matter) ... and as you can see in 2009 Lindsey Buckingham has still not gotten away from the sound of her voice.... that was a spell that took!

So a beautiful love song... and also a haunting and powerful spell cast by a broken hearted enchanting Witch surely fits this season....

Music Monday - Gold Dust Woman by Stevie Nicks

Cover of Rumours

Gold Dust Woman was written by Stevie Nicks and recorded on Fleetwood Mac's Rumours Album. Rumours was my very first Fleetwood Mac album and I spent hours and hours in my bedroom listening to it... looking at the photos on the insert and reading the credits...back when I was 15 years old. I had to know who this wonderful voice was coming from.... who wrote the lyrics that haunted my soul..... was her name really Stevie???... odd for a girl.... but it had to be... she had to be the one. I had just fallen in love with this band called Fleetwood Mac after spending the weekend with a friend who played Rumours continuously the whole weekend long. By the end of the weekend I knew every word to every song.... and I knew I had to have my own copy. And thus my love for Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac were born.... and Rumours is still my favorite album almost 30 years later.

Thank you Elisa Daniels (wherever you are) for giving me this wonderful gift of loving Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac... it has been with me through every day of my life ever since.... I don't think you had any clue what you had given....

This version of Gold Dust Woman is performed by Stevie during her Bella Donna Tour on the HBO Special (Stevie Nicks Live)..... so hear it is.... a song that has haunted my soul for 30 years.... and all I can say is.....

Rock On Gold Dust Woman!
