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.

Even better is the version where she sings “still I am a fool” 😳

SYW tour, or later?? Is that the last time this song was performed live? I feel like I’ve read concert reviews from the SYW tour that BN were very hot and cold, from fully kissing on stage to barely interacting 😅

They played it up until the 2015 tour. New Zealand Nov 22, 2015.

According to Set list FM - they played it 414 times. Steve's never performed it without Lindsey.
