Stevie makes you feel that a person can die for love...and kill for it as well.

A moment to appreciate Christine McVie's Keyboard playing. She sure got that twinkley sound

She and Stevie had great chemistry concerning that. I felt the same way with Sting and Andy Summers. Both made a mistake of not bringing them on their solo stuff.

This is more commanding than what Stevie finally released so many years later, it’s all the better with her band mates supporting her in the classic style of Fleetwood Mac, she takes centre stage for the main part and they all come together in the end to produce pure harmony and emotion

This is, by far, the best version of this song. The change in tempo, direction makes the overall song far more interesting the the Stevie Nicks solo version.

Just remembered I made this comment. 8 months later, I'm 35 and still enjoying Fleetwood Mac, discovered so much more, including her early band Fritz and Birmingham Nicks which I enjoyed. I grew up on the oldies thanks to my mom and I don't know what it is, but there's something really beautiful in her I find in Stevie Nicks. I wish I could meet her.

As much as I love and listen to the 4/2017 version, this by far in my opinion of course, is awesome..her voice is exceptional and strong in this version..love, love this demo version..rock on Stevie

It goes on and on and on and on and on and ON! I love there 3-part harmonies. Chris always takes the road less traveled with her vocals.

I love the drumming on the Mirage album. So classic Fleetwood Mac Chris and Lindsey do such a great thing how they play around eachother

I would give anything for a copy of this that doesn’t fade out! This is just brilliant! I can listen over and over!! Sublime!!

Never heard this song until 24 Carat Gold and glad to have found these versions. I love this version and the one Stevie recorded solo. If you were my Love is now my favorite out of the million Stevie songs.

This is just fantastic

I love this demo. I heard a Stevie Nicks demo version and I have to say I like this version better! Stevie Nicks recently recorded this one for her 24 Karat Gold album and, as much as I like the new version, this will be my favorite take on the song! It's great!

Just an amazing song. So glad we get to hear it again soon!

too beautiful.

I really like the vibe of songs like this one and Straight Back. Make me think of other songs I heard but can't remember where and when.

This is definitely a great cut and it is a terrible shame that it didn't make the final track listing on Mirage but I think most of you were wrong for saying that Stevie selections on Mirage were limited. She did have some really good songs on Mirage. In fact the songs on Mirage that are Stevie's are near perfection

Mirage was a moment on Vinyl . . .only so many minutes per side. Stevie has long refused to cut the length of her songs. Like Silver Springs, this track probably didn't make the album because of its' length. Neat song! Even with the heavy Tusk flavor. . .

since mac was 5 people 4 of which writers (tho mick did not really contribute till his own solo stuff) the idea was all 3 lindsey chris and stevie's work equally appearing on the bands records. stevie was great at shortening songs, look at outside the rain studio vs live and live is the true unbridled length -- there was just too much good music all at once in these few years with mirage, and then nothing for a long time after. its why the who's success was limited...zep etc, mac, all the creme de la creme were out at once i guess, industry wise.

Yes, but "Gold Dust Woman" had a lengthy outro that could have been trimmed to make way for "Silver Springs," which only ran about four-and-a-half minutes. After all, the version of "Sisters of the Moon" that ended up on Tusk cut the entire final verse, which Nicks still sang in concert. This version of IYWML easily could have been trimmed a bit to fit on Mirage; even just cutting the final section after the initial fadeout would have helped.

Just beautiful.😘🦆

I love the low vocal deepness of her voice at approx.37 into the song..and I say again..love this version of this song..I wish she would or could sing it this way now..

Masterpiece.

If you were my Love.....How ever Momentarily... You'll Always Be My Love.... On and On and On Magical

Round Hill Security - A lot of the early studio songs for Mirage definitely had a Tusk feel to them. Smile At You is another one. I think they decided to go a totally different direction after some of these early songs were recorded.

Two additional sets of lyrics& harminic tone of this song since March 18th, 2018 from Stevie.

Como muchas de sus canciones, mucho dolor y rabia. La amo de siempre

Love it!!

It was the Rolling Stone Photo Shoot If You were my Love 1981. Circa Tusk obviously cuz that's the playback while they're shooting AND by the way she is sooooooo high she is grinding her teeth while she is singing and posing. I have NEVER seen her do THAT

Despite the darkness of the presence of drugs, thank you for making us aware of that video! Super fans understand that the darkness fuelled the fire in the light and it all came together to form her legacy. That video, and this song, are both just incredible. Gives me chills.

Even though Rumours was their BIG record, I think the Mirage era was my personal favorite. I wish they had just recorded 2 or 3 albums worth of material and just released another one every year or so.

Stevie's within the top 5 singer-songwriters of all-time, male or female, top one, depending on your mood... Her demos are quite often better, stripped of unneeded studio-over production, not that the released originals aren't really special!...

It seems like whoever recorded/copied the song didn't expect the longer ending. That could becthe reason the sound starts fading then comes back up when it became apparent that the song had little bit more to it.

Some of these songs don't make it on the album, because there's only so much they can add.

Can anyone decipher what Stevie is saying between 5:31 and 5:35?

I am your love however momentarily

This might have been better on BellaDonna or The Wild Heart

Wow. That is the craziest Stevie demo song, ever. John McVie totally made this song. Too bad they didn't flesh it out a little more. The 24 Karat version is dull and lifeless compared to this!

They cared about each other but Tom was very honest with her and saw her as she is. He knew he needed a faithful oerson. He knew Stevie needed to roam. They were really close. I love Insider, the duet between them.

Why the fuck would they not have included this on Mirage?

The only reason this is better than Stevie Nicks version is vocal. Her voice was at its best from 79 - 85. But, The vocal on her version almost, Almost sounds like its from that era.

There was/is something really good there but they just didn't manage to shape it, etc. I love hearing this sort of thing, shows process. Can you imagine the pressure of being in the studio and dealing with feelings plus the need to just get the record (as it was called at the time) done, etc. Nice to talk about once it's over but while it's happening, etc. etc.

I kind of hate this period because you can hear how her voice is being damaged by the drugs little by little . She had one voice before the drugs and another afterwards.

are you sure this isn't from tusk?

Listen to them doing the playback of this during her "'Rolling Stone shoot"" Annie Leibovitz. Much punchier and the piano different and not so "tinka tinka"listen to it. It's also slower and sounds a little more country. I don't like the playing on this one.

It's way better when Stevie sings it BY HERSELF...
