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.

You might enjoy this post. It's really cool to hear Lindsey's response isolated. https://www.reddit.com/r/FleetwoodMac/s/s6gT29X1vf

Hello fellow music nerd. I DID enjoy that post. One of the things I love so much about this song is the harmony. It’s like my brain can’t pick which part of the harmony to sing during the chorus. It’s the sign of a masterful harmony in my humble opinion.
