Stevie says in an Interview... "I remember the night I wrote 'Dreams.' I walked in and handed a cassette of the song to Lindsey. It was a rough take, just me singing solo and playing piano. Even though he was mad with me at the time, Lindsey played it and then looked up at me and smiled. What was going on between us was sad. We were couples who couldn't make it through. But, as musicians, we still respected each other - and we got some brilliant songs out of it."

It wasn’t just Steve’s voice, all of them together made this almost hypnotic sound. I remember when it came out it was one of my favourite albums and groups for a very long time.

This song is actually the break-up song that she wrote to him. Of course, he countered with Go Your Own Way. Landslide is a song that is about their relationship but THIS song in THE song she wrote to him. She is my IDOL! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER SO MUCH! I've seen FM in concert twice and Stevie (solo) once for my birthday back in 2016 in Chicago. She was PHENOMONAL! I cried throughout the whole concert. Lindsey and Stevie & John and Christine's relationships all ended around the same time, and then Stevie had a year long fling with Mick (drummer). The whole Rumors album was about the whole mess that the band was going through. Not just Lindsey and Stevie. It is still one of the best rock albums in rock history. FM is my favorite rock band ever as well. Such a great band!

I love the warm tones in their music. The relationship between Lindsay and Stevie broke up because she had an affair. I saw an interview with them a couple of years ago and they talked at length about the break up. Stevie said she didn't want to break up and tried for years to get back with him, she then pause, looked him in the eyes and said she was so sorry for the affair and the way she hurt him. His response blew me away. He told her he waited years for her to say she was sorry and that was all he wanted, and he would have taken her back, but now it was too late because he had moved on and has a wife and family he loves very much, and Stevie just looked heart broken.

Some of it was from the 50's and 60's and some were more current at the time. It's great that you are sharing the great music of the past with a new generation.

First, Lindsey wrote "go your own way" which Stevie said "was him telling me, go live your crummy little life ALONE." Secondly, there IS a stripped down demo version with just Stevie and the keyboard called "stevie nicks dreams take 2" and it's Awesome !

Gypsy, was written about Stevies friend, who passed away. It is my all time favorite song, by Fleetwood Mac. Trust me you won't be disappointed!

The Rumors album was a record setting album, sell 10 million copies in the first month. The success of the album didn't come from one or two or even three hits, the entire was incredible! Especially when you consider all the negative effects going on within the band. Every song to me was a hit, the same as Hotel California album for Eagles. It was the greatest time musically, to be a teenager or early 20s from 1975 to 1981. And Fleetwood Mac was a huge part of that time.

What you need to remember is Fleetwood Mac were originally a British blues rock band formed by Peter Green, who was one of the best blues guitarists and there were great emotional trauma even before Stevie even joined the band. Some of the original fleetwood Mac’s best songs include Man of the World, Albatross (an instrumental), Black Magic Woman, Oh Well and Green Manalishi.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again...part of what makes Fleetwood Mac so darn amazing is that they have a DEEP bench of talent. When you have multiple song writers and three amazing lead singers in your band, you can change things up and take your sound into a multitude of directions. I LOVE Stevie, but my favorite (of a LONG list of favorites) Fleetwood Mac song is "Songbird" sung by Christine McVie. She is just as great as Stevie in her own ways. Definitely react to "Songbird" please! =)

Let's not forget that Lindsey Buckingham wrote 'Go Your Own Way' FIRST about their break-up and had Stevie sing it. He was having a rough time over the break-up and writing that song helped him move forward. 'Dreams' was Stevie's response to that song. So, as badass as Stevie is, Lindsey did it first. Fun fact: Stevie also had an affair with Mick Fleetwood while she was in a relationship with Don Henley (The Eagles) and Mick was married to Jenny Boyd. Jenny is sisters with Pattie Boyd who was married to George Harrison (The Beatles) and later, Eric Clapton. Pattie inspired some amazing songs from those two.....'Something' by Harrison, 'Layla' and 'Wonderful Tonight' by Clapton.....to name a few.

Patty Boyd cheated on George with Eric. I’ll never understand why.

It worked both ways. They both wrote songs about each other which the other had to sing. Everyone was breaking up, having affairs, etc., during the making of Rumours, and writing songs about it, and still working together as a band. And Rumours became their absolute masterpiece.

I am the Stevie Nicks fan of life, but she definitely plays down the venom she was capable of in her songs lol. She has often said Dreams was her hopeful, philosophical version of the Buckingham breakup while he wrote Go Your Own Way from a place of anger. The thing is that Stevie's melodies are so dreamy (pun intended!) that they often mask the rage underneath. The lyrics of Dreams are just as vicious as Buckingham's in Go Your Own Way, just more subtle. Amber, you kind of hit it: She is essentially damning him to a life of loneliness and madness that he'll never be able to escape, even in his dreams. And "women they will come and go/when the rain washes you clean" is a swipe at Buckingham being dirty & jumping from woman to woman (many of whom were likely groupies). Silver Springs is the same - it's such a pretty melody it's easy to forget she's calling him out to his face for cheating on her, and then casting a spell to keep him haunted by her memory & voice forever!!! Stevie was an absolute KILLER - she just did it with beautiful music to disguise the blade of her pen! xoxo P.S. - I am a relatively new subscriber and am OBSEESSED with your reactions. You are both so much fun!

This is a song that I heard as a kid, and for whatever reason, made me want to grow up quickly.

Fleetwood Mac was also a huge band...try Go Your Own Way, The Chain, Gold Dust Woman, Say You Love Me, Second Hand News & Over My Head just to name a few!

Rumours is one of the best albums ever made, and "Dreams" is one of the best songs on it. Stevie's voice is beautiful. Everything about this is perfect.

Man, I still remember Casey Kasem announcing this song at #1 in 1977. I was 5 years old. My sisters & I were playing cards on the floor of our living room when this was announced #1. It was the only week Fleetwood Mac spent at #1 in their careers on the US singles chart.

The Fleetwood Mac lineup from 1975 to 1987 featured three phenomenal singers & songwriters in Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine McVie. They could harmonize like nobody's business. During the recording of Rumors, not only were Stevie & Lindsey breaking up, but Christine and (bassist) John McVie were heading for divorce. All that turmoil made for a legendary album. While "Dreams" was their only US number 1 song, most of their hits were written by Christine McVie. Check out "You Make Loving Fun, " "Over My Head," and "Songbird." More great ones from Stevie, "Gypsy," "Sara," "Seven Wonders." And from Lindsey "Second Hand News," "Monday Morning," and "Go Your Own Way" Stevie & Lindsey didn't join the band until 1974, but the Mac's origins go back to 1967. You owe it to yourselves to check out some of their songs from the Peter Green (founding guitarist) era. Including "Albatross," "Oh Well," and "Green Manalishi." But there's lots of great ones. -JR in Miami

Fleetwood Mac has always been one of my favorite bands and I love Stevie nicks voice that raspy but soulful voice is so hypnotic.

Christine also has more than her share of lead vocals in the Fleetwood Mac discography.

There are others but those are gems.

Definitely 'Gypsy' is one you should listen to. The official video. Other Stevie-led songs you could do would be the live version of 'Rhiannon' from the Midnight Special which is a different animal than the studio version, a couple of my personal favorites but lesser known 'Beautiful Child' for the harmonies (there is a live version of this as well) or 'Storms'. The live version of Silver Springs from the Dance is great. Live versions of 'Sister of the Moon' and 'Gold Dust Woman' kick as well. You should also consider some other FM ones led by Christine McVie like 'Songbird' 'You Make Loving Fun' or 'Little Lies'. Or more group ones like 'Don't Stop' or 'World Turning'.

Yes yes yes to the live version (official video I think) of Silver Springs! Those daggers she shoots out of her eyes at Buckingham are epic!

Sisters of the moon and beautiful child are my absolute favorite Stevie's songs. Tusk is a masterpiece that gets overshadowed by Rumors.

Stevie Nicks wrote the song in early 1976. She said, "One day when I wasn't required in the main studio, I took a Fender Rhodes piano and went into another studio that was said to belong to Sly Stone, of Sly and the Family Stone. It was a black-and-red room, with a sunken pit in the middle where there was a piano, and a big black-velvet bed with Victorian drapes. I sat down on the bed with my keyboard in front of me, I found a drum pattern, switched my little cassette player on and wrote 'Dreams' in about 10 minutes. Right away I liked the fact that I was doing something with a dance beat, because that made it a little unusual for me." Buckingham "fashioned three sections out of identical chords, making each section sound completely different. He created the impression that there's a thread running through the whole thing."

You should definitely do songbird by Fleetwood Mac. Written and sung by Christine McVie. Rumors was an amazing Album that had many songs about the tumultuous relationships between Stevie and Lindsay Buckingham ( the guitarist) and Christine (pianist) and John McVie (bassist). Rumors was a huge huge album when it came out. A number of its songs were all over the radio - including this one.

When you reacted to Rhiannon, you did the studio version. If you want to see Stevie put the pedal to the metal, check out the live version on the Midnight Special 1976. O...M...G.

I live in.london Bootlegs are near..........lots written in sly stone's room...........all allegedly.........

The beauty of Fleetwood Mac, is they were all involved with one another at some point during their time as a band. And it made for some dynamic performances. Not many better than watching Lindsay and Stevie sing angrily at each other with hose icy stares in Go Your Own Way. I think it is probably their best “break up song”. They just throw digs back and forth the entire song. You have to watch the live performance, though. I always say, a movie about Fleetwood Mac already has all the ingredients of a blockbuster film.

For some time, Dreams was my favorite Fleetwood Mac song!

Christine McVie who was originally married to the bass player joined the band in 1970. She was the lead singer and keyboard player. She was a classically trained contralto singer and brilliant keyboard player. She’s now aged 78, and has had success with three solo albums also.

This was their first HUGE hit. We all fell in love with Stevie.

When Stevie & Lindsay did the harmonies in studio (especially with this song), they did them in one small room facing each other (the tape machine they nicknamed "Jaws" was unreliable for multiple dubbing). Imagine all the disdain they had for each other, and had to sing those lyrics, gathered around one microphone facing each other- in harmony. Rumours was their soap opera album, and stands as one of the best albums of all time; it demonstrates that some of the best art is generally made out of stress, chaos, & personal turmoil.

Agreed the studio version of this song really showcases the harmonies this band has always had and the raw power and emotion of the moment

Listening to that on a 33rpm vinal back in 75 thru 77 with my late wife Louann..

This was the cranberry juice/skateboard song that brought back a second wave of appreciation for Fleetwood Mac

The studio version is the masterpiece though. The live vocal harmonies are never quite right

Largely because Buckingham was off his face during many of their concerts. It's why they finally ditched him.

@@zaharacelestial8940 - The original studio recording was not digitally embellished with AutoTune. AutoTune didn’t exist back then. It was pitch perfect because they went back and sang it again and again until they nailed it. In a live performance like this, you get what you get. Sometimes it’s great sometimes not so much. On this particular performance, it’s not so much. Seriously, if Jay and Amber want to hear the song away it’s intended to be heard, they should listen to the studio recording of it. It’s much, much better.

@@philiponeill6903 seriously. Maybe do some research. Lindsey is the genius behind the band. As much as I have always loved Stevie,she was wrong in having him fired and the lies that were made up..

This is from their "Rumors" album, and their only #1 top 40 hit in the U.S., in 1977.

Stevie is one of few vocalists whose voice has remained constant throughout the years of her career

It is from rumours, she nailed it

Each song on this album is a story of what was happening with the members at the time. This has to be a top five greatest albums of all time. It has sold 40 million plus world wide and 20 million plus in the US. This is one of few albums that, starting with the first note of the first track, pulls you into it so that you don’t let go until the last note of the last track. The first single “Go Your Own Way” sets the tone of the over all direction the band members were heading at the time. “The Chain” reaffirms the members commitment to the band itself. Each song is very calculated and contributes to the greatness of this album. Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole album. Not a bad song on it. MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL!!!

Stevie Nicks is NOT the only female in Fleetwood Mac, you should play Christine McVie songs from Fleetwood... She is a wonderful singer and writer...

Silver Springs is Stevie at her best. The lyrics are nothing short of perfection. "I'll follow you down til the sound of my voice will haunt you. You'll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you.". Damn near lyrical perfection. Can't wait for your reaction..Happy New Year. Be well.

Yes Silver Springs... is like one of the last songs I would want to hear on this earth!

Gold dust woman..24 Karat Gold Concert. Stevie's band and her interpretation of her song. Magic ,just magic. I think you will love.

These female Friday's have showed us how we have so so many beautiful women singers. Please keep this tradition going, fantastically fun! 🎄☃️

This was definitely from the Rumors album. It was the most played. I think everyone at the time knew the words to this start to finish.

Mi adorada Stevie, eterna y hermosa gitana que hacía, hace y hará soñar con su voz... abrazos!

I bought rumors when i was 13 and loved Stevie then (that was 1976). Her songs helped me through my divorce and becoming a single father. I'm now going to be 61 and Stevie's songs still mean as much as a lifetime ago.

I was in my first year as a student nurse in England when I heard this song and was entranced by Stevie’s voice. Please listen to her singing Sara. Perfection. Yes, this is from Rumours, recorded across the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito from my now home of San Francisco.

The Rumours sessions produced "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way" and "Silver Springs" which feel like a conversation between the two of them. The McVies were falling out during that period, as was Fleetwood and his wife. Lots of turmoil...some of the best music ever set to vinyl.

Gold dust woman is a must! Goes for a such a long time that apparently the band wouldn’t let her do the whole version on tour. The last time I saw her live she told the story of how her songs came to be. Apparently Lindsay Buckingham was the kind of person who would try to trip her on stage among other things. He got so nasty the rest of the band intervened.

Stevie nicks has a very mystical voice it's like a mist comes and takes you away in the night when you listen to her voice

Yes, it is from the Rumours album. The whole album is amazing! Nice reaction.

Nicks and Buckingham while they were in a band called Fritz opened for Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Stevie Nicks attributes her stage persona to what she learned from those two. Imagine what Fleetwood Mac would look like without that influence.

Stevie said her proudest moment was getting yelled off the stage by Janis lol

I love how mick Fleetwood took her word heartbeat and made that into the main melody of the drums... and so go the bass...

Rooms on Fire is a great Stevie solo song. When Fleetwood Mac broke up Stevie tried to join Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Tom told her "there are no girls in the Heartbreakers." But he wrote her a song and performed it with her. It is called Stop Dragging My Heart Around

this song is all vibe, atmosphere - you can hear the longing and the loneliness in not just stevie's vocal but the haunting wail of lindsey's guitar. i've said it before, as much as i love stevie, it's lindsey's brilliant arranging and production whilst developing the songs that make these masterful. and lindsey never gets enough credit for creating FM's signature sound. and yes, this was from RUMOURS and is sort of a response to lindsey's song "go your own way" as it's been said that stevie left lindsey. these 2 songs are forever paired. "GYPSY" is your next reaction - a MUST - one of my 2 fav stevie FM songs EVER ("SARA" is the other - haunting and beautiful ❤)

This entire album was a masterpiece. I think it’s one of the top ten best selling albums of all time. Looking forward to you getting back to Linda Ronstadt soon. She has an amazing catalogue. She actually has some beautiful holiday music you could check out. Merry Christmas to your sweet family 🎄🌺✌️

there is no contest when it comes to Stevie but you guys have to check out Lanie Gardners cover of DREAMS. Fleetwood Mac and Stevie were my youth. God, I hate getting old....she also made an amazing guest appearance on AMERICAN HORROR STORY...I think twice? BEAUTIFUL......

Yes its from Rumors also Go your own way
