It's not possible for me to be anything but speculative. He might have been unhappy she was less interested in commitment. If I emphasized the critical aspects of the lyrics of "Dreams" it's because (I think) they've been minimized or ignored.Ĭonversely: when Stevie objected to Lindsey having written "Packing up/Shacking up's all you want to do," she assumed he was accusing her of infidelity.
However I've heard this song described as being generous to Buckingham, in contrast to "Go Your Own Way" being scathing towards Nicks. Stevie does hold out for Lindsey a thin thread of hope: "When the rain washes you clean, you'll know." She wrote "when" not "if". General CommentCursed "forever"? Well, that was a bit strong.
#Dreams lyrics mac
Personally, I probably would have threatened to leave Fleetwood Mac if it wasn't included on Rumours and taken my songs with me if they still didn't relent. She ended up getting slight revenge when it was released as a single and became a minor hit when they released it from the live album "The Dance". Moreover, what caused Stevie to leave the band was that in the late 80s/early 90s, Stevie wanted to include "Silver Springs" on a compilation/greatest hits album of her solo career, but Mick told her no because he wanted to put it on a box set ("25 Years- The Chain"). I think what was messed up even more than their deciding to take it off the album was that they decided it in secret, when Stevie wasn't in the studio with them/wasn't needed in the studio that day. Moreover, to add insult to injury, they decided to put "Silver Springs" as the b-side to the "Go Your Own Way" single. It was always either his way or the highway.Īnd because he didn't like the way "Silver Springs" made him feel, he threw a trantrum and made them take it off, even though "Go Your Own Way" is just as angry as it was. Lindsey Buckingham has always had the temper of a petulant child.
To this day, she's still upset about its omission from the album. Mick took her out to the parking lot and told her in private that they took out "Silver Springs" and the reason was because it was too long, but she was okay with cutting down its length so that it could be included, but he told her they were they were going to replace it with "I Don't Want to Know" anyway, and she could either sing on it, leave it off and only have 2 songs on the album, let only Lindsey song on it by himself, or basically fuck off. But because Lindsey didn't like how that song made him feel, he and the rest of the band took it off of the record and didn't tell her until they decided to replace it with "I Don't Wanna Know", which was an older song from when Lindsey and Stevie were a duet, before they joined Fleetwood. In response to Go Your Own Way, Stevie wrote "Silver Springs", and it was just as angry. Oh, you'll She also said she was offended and upset about it also because of the line "Packing up and shacking up is all you want to do" from Go Your Own Way, saying that it wasn't true that she wanted to go and shack up with other guys.
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreamsĪnd have you any dreams you'd like to sell? When the rain washes you clean, you'll know Say women, they will come and they will go Players only love you when they're playin' Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin' In the stillness of remembering what you had
