I Can Still Hear You Sayin…
Although we are completely obsessed with the studio/ live version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,”it is no surprise that Stevie’s original pitch to the band was anything less than hauntingly stunning with a single guitar behind her.
“And if, you don’t love me now, you will never love me again….”
The first time we heard this, we were completely shocked! With Stevie’s eerie improv verses before the recognizable lyrics in the released version, we were almost certain it was a completely different song. It turns out that these lyrics are pieces of Christine’s “Butter Cookie (Keep Me There)” and other bits of songs from different members of the band.
Interesting Fact: Stevie Nicks wrote the lyrics about Lindsey Buckingham as their relationship was falling apart. Buckingham and Nicks share lead vocals on the song.
Originally this was recorded in 1977, a decade after the band took off- but the timeless and effortless beauty of these enchanting lyrics sticks with you even after the song’s end, only Stevie could have that type of lasting effect on us…
