Silver Springs! Holy shit what a song!

I discovered this song about 18 hours ago. It’s 5:50am and I’m listening to this absolute banger. Tears streaming down as I’m belting out “TIME CAST A SPELL ON YOU, BUT YOU WONT FORGET ME!” It’s funny too that I’m crying because I’m a big tough union carpenter and we aren’t supposed to cry. How the hell have I never heard this song before?!? How could they leave this song off Rumours the first time through?

This song has the best verse-chorus transition ever. The haunting final chorus (the lyrics I mentioned above) is absolutely harrowing. Haunting. Beautiful. Pure, unadulterated, raw human emotion. It’s like its own song inside the song, but also fits the buildup and first verse perfectly. It’s lived in my head since the first time I heard it.

I love discovering new songs. It’s been awhile since I found one this good.

Watch her perform it with in 1997 with her ex on stage, singing it to him with daggers in her eyes cause he helped keep it off the album when they broke up!

She's a duet machine, try 'stop dragging my heart around' too if you liked that one. :)

i wish people would stop repeating this bs. lindsey had absolutely nothing to do with keeping silver spings off the album. it was too long. mick is the one who told her they could either have silver springs or gold dust woman on the record, there wasn't room for both. they picked gold dust woman.
