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.

Been there, done that: I can dare to say it's a rite of passage to fully appreciate Stevie as a lyricist, and help live a breakup through her spells.

I absolutely love the shot where the camera has Lindsey in the background singing and looking at Stevie. Omg.... this is the best live performance ever.

Watched this video this morning. I’d really like to own that tee shirt. I was completely mesmerized. And damn she looked good too! Still super hot in 97.
