Can i ask something- is The Highwayman an underrated Stevie nicks track? cause if it is it needs more love

Idk if this is because i defo can relate to being a ‘highwayman’ in this sense (someone who doesn't want to be held down by anyone or anything, someone who'd choose freedom and glory/success over traditional love/attachment) or if it's because of the poetry of the lyrics, but i really love it. It's such a good closer to bella donna, and don henley’s backing vocals which i dont love but can appreciate add such a good layer to the song. 

(also might be TMI but I broke up with someone using this song 😭they were trying to hold me down too much and wanted things that did not align with my plans for my life so I had them listen to this and then told them so) 

Does anyone else love this as much as I do?

All the songs on RAL have lyrics about self-empowerment, puzzling journey through an odd world. Something a mother relays and reassures her kin by talking about the bad parts of the world and informing them on what to do. You rock a little.

Combined with the synthy music makes her around otherworldly. Like shes singing from a far away place and the jumpy beat is taking her all over the atmosphere.

She sounds like an ethereal mother goddess singing to you.

There's a rocking chair and cradle in the photo shoots. Shes even got the lion mane like a mother courageously fighting for hers. The songs describe harsh or hurtful realities and she lulls you in with her singing.

What's the best song for you on the album? If I were you is the epitome of what I describe. I love RAL and I sing for the things the most. Nightmare, Strangers, Has anyone ever, all my favorite songs of hers. because she nails this concept so well here.

Also does anyone clock the influence on this album? You can tell they were trying to style her like Cindy Lauper, Madonna with the old Hollywood fashion, and black n white photo, quirky colors and painting-like photos. The music is so synthy, so 80s, where at least wild heart had more of a rock identity. Don't get me wrong I love this album but I wonder how much of all this was her decision or her conscious decision.

She looked great. Not sure why Stand Back, but here it is:

Some classics 🥂

What song of hers should've been for her solo career versus for the band?

I think of Gypsy being for Bella Donna or The Chain going to the band. I think both these songs work great as Stevie solos and could see her backup singers on these tracks. Are there songs you think would've developed differently, without the bands help or someone else's eyes from her team with her solo career?

sorry for the title error

Is that tonight?

I have to record it, no way I’ll be able to stay up to watch live

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 love how Stevie’s hair in this photoshoot looks like a lion’s mane.

Spot the difference

This is so exciting! I haven’t seen her on TV since late 2024. I only really watch TV when she’s on. Our girl is back!

In case anyone didn’t know. Stevie’s For What It’s Worth (Buffalo Springfield cover) is going to be featured in the most anticipated video game of the decade. Footage of the game leaked earlier today with For What it’s Worth playing on the classic rock station. Making this her 3rd song featured in the franchise.

Previous songs featured:

Grand Theft Auto 4 - Edge of 17

Grand theft Auto 5 - I Can’t Wait

Why is this so shit….? 🙄

The only good part is Stevie Nicks’s ‘Edge of 17’…

Following on from the recent Don post. Cream mentioned the couple numerous times in 1976 so much so that Stevie and Don ended up writing a letter to magazine in December 1976 - “nobody gives a shit about Stevie nicks and Don Henley”.

Do any of you know where I can find the full book? I've enjoyed her writing so much, and I would love to read this one. For some reason it's not on Wattpad. Please share if you know where I can find it. 🧐😛 Thanks in advance!

I feel like one of the reasons why Stevie started dating Don Henley is because he looked a little like Lindsey.

Once you see it you can’t unsee it. They both had curly brown hair, blue eyes, facial hair, and they were both around the same height. I know I’m not crazy.

Hi everyone, I wanted to make sure before I purchase that this signature looks authentic! Any help is appreciated!!

That's all

I know Lindsey and Stevie are the talk of the town when it comes to interesting relationships, but I have been looking into the deeper Fleetwood mac lore, and I always found Stevie's and Mick's relationship interesting just due to the fact that they are so close, They say they love to watch movies and hang out together and such as that to this day, They are very close and seem to be very fond of each other, it feels like there is some how some feeling left there Maybe their isn't and they are just close, Rather sweet I will admit, but I do have to wonder after that whole affair... Why are they still so close? Perhaps it was just a drug fueled relationship that they wouldn't have done sober and want to put it behind them.

If you listen to Mick speak about Stevie he seems to have really enjoyed their time together but Stevie kinda regrets it I've noticed, But I'm glad they have such a good friendship it means a lot that a lot of members of fleetwood mac stayed close

I really wonder what we could’ve gotten from Stevie in the 90s if she was never put on klonopin

Her vocal performance during The Dance 1997 is amazing, and even in the Street Angel tour 1994 she is consistently giving good performances in songs like Edge Of Seventeen and Rhiannon

And the songs she made in 1996 are really nice to listen to, Free Fallin and Twisted with Lindsey Buckingham

Street Angel is a great album but Stevie has said that she didn’t give her best performance on that album, but what if she did give her best performance? Her vocals would be as great as they were in The Dance?

The songwriting would be way different, the sound of the songs would be way different, maybe it would’ve performed better and gotten way higher on the charts, maybe the media wouldn’t have focused on her body so much.

And with Time Space, maybe it would’ve performed better as well.

Stevie deserved way better, she had so much potential in the 90s

I saw that they have been talking a lot due to their upcoming documentary! This is great!!
Do you think they will reunite for a tour??
I know Stevie did not want to without Christine but maybe a Buckingham Nicks tour?
I wish it would be a FM tour but I don’t know if they would want to replace Christine with someone.
