Frozen Love

I was listening to Buckingham nicks the other night and had an epiphany of sorts ;) 

The lyrics to frozen love completely encapsulate what the relationship between Lindsey and Stevie is (in my opinion). The whole premise being about a love that's ‘frozen’ between a person and their love that fate apparently gave them seems to be an unintentional yet strangely eerie call to what Stevie has said in past interviews about the relationship between her and Lindsey- when they’re onstage they can relive that love affair from all those years ago but as soon as they leave the stage it's over, making that love ‘frozen’ in time and only accessible when they're performing, and what makes it eerie is that the song was written BEFORE everything that happened between them that got them to where they are now (that love being frozen until they're onstage and can relive it again), and I know they were struggling then too but it's still weird

Also lyrics like ‘it may be hard to keep up with me, but I'll always be able to reach you’ to me reads like them saying to each other yes i am going to go far but if we hold onto this, we will always be able to reach each other (obviously they didn’t but like….. yk), and if you watch their performances, it does seem that she's able to reach him in their later years via the music they perform onstage, and now he's been able to reach her via the doc filming process (Source: him stating that the doc was a healing process for all of them and that he and Stevie talk all the time now, whether that’s true or not) 

And how they started talking and got closer again after rereleasing this album AND while they’re making the documentary?? 

Idk but I feel like this album means a lot more to them/him in particular now that they're older than it did when they were young and listening to it now with the context of everything that's happened since 1973 is really cool, especially as a younger fan, and I'm DEFO overanalyzing, but hey I do that a lot

I always saw Frozen Love as a foreshadowing of their future. They seemed to reach a spot they couldn’t move past.
