  • good.

  • "I should have known from the first, I'd be the broken-hearted." and "And all the prayers in the world can save us." my,my, my,my.... That song, those lines pass all jealousy tests--by far my favorite song by Nicks and Mac.

    Thanks for the upload.

  • I like to drive at night when it's snowing and play this song. It sets a cool mood. B-)

  • What a pretty, pretty song. Every night you do not come, the softness fades away. How stunning and realistically profound is that. Am humbled

  • All of the above AND in wasn't GTA that brought anyone here.

  • Comment removed

  • Beyond the political rhetoric before this song plays....it's an amazing song.

  • no matter how stressed i get, this song ALWAYS chills me out. amazing stuff.

  • Not to sound too picky, but the song is called "Storm" as in the lyrics "I have always been a storm". It's just one of the many good songs of off the highly under-rated TUSK double cd.

  • @1105Chance No, the correct title is "Storms" check the track listing. Just like it's "Silver Springs" even though the lyric is "You could be my silver spring".

  • @dsajewich Yeah, I remembered that right after I hit "Enter". I was wondering how long it would take for someone to call me on it. I am surprised someone didn't correct me earlier! That's what I get for being in a picky mood, but I still recognized that it was a great song. Your post made me laugh. With Youtube, you know SOMEONE is going to catch an error.

  • normally i listen hiphop but this is goood!

  • I always tear up inside when I hear this song. A true classic. It brings memories of my first marriage and the doomed resignation back. I miss you still Annette.

  • There's a heartbreaking vulnerability in Stevie's voice.

  • I just heard this song for the first time recently and just love it. I think it is horrible that Carol Ann Harris wrote a book about her life with Lindsey and titled it Storms - what a bitch!!!

  • I have never heard this song before and it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life!! WOW!!! Very Emotional!!!!!!

  • somehow, the biggest Stevie fan in the world is only hearing this song for the first time today. Thanks Andy.

  • @TribalTwinSC as the Biggest Stevie fan you must have listened thru Tusk before now? :) i listened thru Tusk when i was 15 and found this, been one of my fav since then! thou you can't beat the feeling of finding a Stevie song you haven't heard before!

  • @GypsyQueen90 I know I am ahsamed lol...I always heard Tusk was terrible and I figured that if she had any good songs on it I would have heard them...but I was so wrong. And Tusk is NOT terrible lol...I love the album (I went out and bought it!!)

  • @TribalTwinSC hehe don't always believe what you hear ;) Tango in the Night and Tusk were the first albums i heard as i got the records from my dad :) Now i have them ALL, before Lindsey and Stevie as well, on CD and mp3 :) Enjoy Tusk!

  • @TribalTwinSC I love Peter Green's work! :)

  • From listening to it I thought the lyric was 'I have always been in storms' (hence the title 'storms' - plural) because it conjures up great imagery of her being metaphorically weathered and battered around by stormy relationships.

  • Every emotion that runs through my mind, heart, body and soul, this woman never fails to capture.

  • the closing lines are so clever and beautiful and haunting....."she said everynight he will break your heart"...."I should have known from the first, I'd be the broken-hearted"..."I loved you from the start....save us...and not all the prayers in the world could save us...."

  • I love this song. I think its mesage is LOVE, just love.

  • BEATIFUL SONG! AND AMAZING WOMEN!I SEEN HER IN 2009/04/16 IN FILADELFIA!WOOH!

  • SOOOOOOO Fricken BEAUTIFUL! She was so beautiful!!! Great song too it makes me think about life free and happy. Peace not war

  • bewitching everytime I listen ~~~

  • " but never have i been a blue calm sea, i have always been a storm ..." this line describes me perfectly ...

  • @sorcerer1975 When I played this for my older sister, when these lyrics played, she pointed right to me! Describes us both.

  • @sorcerer1975 Likewise. I have always identified with this lyric of Stevie's. One of my favourite songs of hers.

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever written...by anyone.

  • @nicksfantoo oh and her song Angel too.

  • I love this song - one of my favourites from them

  • I have cried all the tears I can produce. I cry sand now a days.

  • holy sh@t, my god it is like the planets were aligned when she wrote this.

  • Such a beautiful song...you can feel her heartbreak as she sings this.

    Don't ruin it with nasty comments, just enjoy it.

  • I love this song and I feel like I can relate to everything she is saying. <3 fleetwood mac= best band on the earth :))))

  • is she taking about heroin?

  • @jakesmmm HAHHAHAHAHA! I hope not... There are many parallels between love and drugs- best not to discern between the two... leave it to ambiguity. Enjoy.

  • beautiful

  • thanks for posting...love you stevie!

  • What a beautiful song, although sad. It's sad to have to feel this way, when a love can't be. I've never heard this song before. She sings with feeling.

  • I love this song... I listen to this song almost every evening... Few times... Memorys... My love to her. I belive she is happy now... With him...

  • this is such a good song :)

  • This song was written before her and Mick got together, this was a follow up to Silver Spring, and Lindsey's "Tusk"; Which is why during the recording, Lindsey wrote "What makes you think your the one" One of the great songs of all time, just him and mick with a reel-to-reel

  • el aire que me envuelve es frio pero mi corazon esta caliente oiendo esta cancion

  • this is one of the most emotional songs

    it got me through the hardest heartbreak

    i love fleetwood mac

  • een van de beste songs ooit gehoord

  • What a great song and voice, strings, keyboard, lyrics. Perfect.

  • I think this and Silver Springs are some of her best writing- and that is saying a lot. It's a terrific mix of poetry and straight forward honesty.

  • Fuckin Highlarious!

  • I remember listening to th

  • this when my heart would get broken...but now that's all water under the bridge. Life had something better in store for me, my wonderful husband Paul. <3

  • great! i hope i run the same luck as you in finding that special someone.

  • Lovely!

  • lovely.beautiful,brilliant.

  • This song is pure soul, prescient, touched by the magic that stevie always courted. This song has been with me since I was 14. Now I'm 38 and sounds just as fresh, just as beautiful.

  • @phototrope23 Dude no words can better describe how beautiful and magnificent this song is. She was so beautiful and still looks amazing for her age. It never gets old. I love all her song but this one touches me in a way its unbelievable. Its like telling my life. You are a good person =) Wunderbar =)

  • @phototrope23 53 and fresh 

  • @phototrope23 Now I'm 54, and the song still hits that base nerve--your description as prescient is right on target.

  • sooo goood. stevie nicks the best!!!!!!

  • La tormenta de emociones que levantó en nuestros corazones aquel álbum del 79, Tusk, aún vibran las cuerdas de nuestra guitarra cuando oímos la voz desgarrada de Stivie o el arpeggio de Lindsey... Fleetwood Mac, con vosotros siempre... Fleetwood Mac for ever...

  • Pero q Buen Comentario! :)

    Saludos!

  • ' i'd like to leave you with somthing warms, but never have i been a blue calm sea, i have always been a storm ..."

  • good song!!! love it, so emotional!

  • sonofa....I want this song...

  • This is one of my favorite... it speaks of my life

  • This song kept me awake as I played it over and over while driving through the empty Mohave Desert, thinking about breaking up with a girl. Always . . . been a storm.

  • A song with feeling and emotion, the pictures of Stevie are great, thanks.

  • To the one I truly love, but cannot be with.

  • I would have, but I was gone. now I watch from a far, heart in hand

  • what's strange about this song is that the lyrics are easy to understand

    and that's not like her

    maybe she was sending a message to somebody. it is a BEAUTIFUL song.

  • I believe this song was written for and about Mick Fleetwood. They had an affair after Rumours. The affair ended when he left his wife but took up with a third woman who was a friend of Stevie's.

  • I dont think Stevie has ever said who this song is about. The affair was only for a month.

  • i am in bed sick with my laptop listening to this song over and over...maybe it's the codeine cough syrup but it's so beautiful. i've been loving being in bed sick with my laptop i've become properly educated on the music of fleetwood mac and stevie nicks..love her interview where she rambles on about hamburger helper lol. bananas&oranges- rimbaudboy.

  • If you had a bong this song on an incense..an a candle. Damn talk about __FEELIN IT___

  • one of my favorite songs ever!

  • Joints out an mystical mood is set-- with 3 candles an incense

  • Takes me back to those days too.

    Oh how I wish I could turn back time.

    Great days!

  • Pekoe

    I was there

    x

  • It will make all of you happy to know that in an interview a couple years ago, Stevie said that "Storms" is her most favorite song out of all she has written/sang. Maybe we will see her perform this again live.

  • I have always been a Storm

  • Einer von vielen Super Songs von Fleetwood Mac.Einfach geil.

  • this song is soo beautiful!

  • The best of fleetwood mac

  • most amazing song to anyone who has lost a loved one this defines every feeling

  • My friend recentlly died of suicide. This music and the lyrics are so much a part of this for me. I first heard Fleetwood Mac

    when I was seventeen.

  • Hi all, this song brought me back frim the brink of death. The lyrics, the voice, the sounf actually made me think again. Stevie for that I thank you

  • Only Stevie could write a song that is so depressing, make you want to cry, and love her all the more for it. The quality of her songs has no match, it's pure magic.

  • q buena banda....

  • I love this song.  Stevie is a storm.

  • Storms for me is a really great song reminds me of my boyfriend...exspecially when stevie sing...as you slowly go away from me..it's only another test....makes me cry always

    Annalisa

  • This song always reminds me of my exwife. A beautiful, wonderful fascinating woman and the love of my life with whom I just could not make a life work.

    Years ago but still no one compares. She always was a storm

  • Although I haven't heard every Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks song, this one HAS to be the most beautiful and emotional. The vulnerability in Stevie's voice is heartbreaking. Surely, there isn't another song by them that's more beautiful and more emotional.

  • we have to start a campaign or something to get her to do this on the next mac tour. can you imagine hearing this live all these years later??

  • im with you on that one..magnificant voice song.imagine..mmmmmmm dreamy...

  • what? they dont play this song anymore?! That makes me sad, this is like my all time favorite Fleetwood mac song..

  • did they even do this on tusk tour? i can't remember the vhs videos i had. i don't think I have never seen footage of it. then again-who knows the real stories behind these songs, might be something she doesn't want to re-live.

  • What a great song. Means so much to me for so many reasons. I remember first hearing it in October '79 when Tusk came out and it still really moves me when I hear it today. Stevie's the best.

  • i love this song, so sad.. but honest.

  • I prefer Mouthus' version.

  • the greatest MUSE of all,,,,,this is the voice of ,,,,,,,,,the hope of LOVE,,,,,,ALLWAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­S BEEN A STORM,,,,IM GONNA BE A ,,,RAINBOW SOME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!sum,day,,i hope

  • I love her, she is beautiful in every possible way!

  • Stevie is an enchantress from another planet ,and I never want her to leave this great earth. She rocks.

  • Oh god, I have a 14 minute demo of this song! Even though it is a little long, I love every second!

  • Do you have this demo on you tube?I would love to hear it.Thanks

    Pennybeth65

  • I don't unfortunetly, as youtube only allows videos up to 10:00 minutes, and I'd never find content to fill it! But... I can e-mail it to you, put it on imeem, or you can download it using the link I have once I find it. :/

    -Rhiya :o)

  • fleetwoodtrick, do you still have that demo?

    do you think you could possibly send it to me?

    I'm extremely anxious to hear it :D

  • Yups, you can PM your e-mail if you like, that way I can e-mail it to you.

  • Haunting....simply haunting!!! ..."But never have I ever been a blue calm sea, I have always been a storm." .... "I should have known from the first I'd be the broken-hearted." Save us... Not all the prayers in the world could save us..."

    Have we not all lived through the essence of what this terrific song speaks to??? Timeless...beautiful!!!

  • ....I have always been a storm....

  • This song speaks to me in ways I cannot put into words.

  • you rock lady vols thanks for putting this vidio on you tube i never did get to buy the album it was on thanks im a vol fan also from tn

  • Every time I hear this song, I think about how hard it is to be a professional singer. Your voice just gets thrashed from endlessly touring. This is the first song that I have heard from Stevie where her voice is faltering. I think that it reflects a truly vulnerable and exhausted performer. I would love to hear her sing this song now b/c I know she would belt it out!

  • call me crazy, but I think the 'faltering' in her voice only adds dimension and feeling to this particular song. I absolutely adore this one. IMHO

  • Totally agree, it really shows her vulnerable side and nails the premise of the song.

  • absolutely...it's a beautiful, delicate rendition of the piece.

  • Agree 100% but then, does the end justify the means? Because it could also be a warning that the song would never be again sung.

  • possibly, but doesn't an ending signify a beginning?

  • Always, my Dear! Though we not know what that will be and unnatural endings may leave gaps where only darkness and sorrow will reside.

  • unnatural endings are a part of fate...always a divine bigger plan. And as of darkness and sorrow, also a part of life's balancing act.  It's all good when kept in perspective. I think this song represents the storms and some of her others represents the smoothness of the path. Great chatting with you dtnyc!

  • awesome song..one of the best she's ever written. Heartache everyone can relate to.

  • I love this song...the melody is so pretty and touching....just like Stevie I imagine :o)

  • wow! open the flood gates of memories and many nights jamming to this!!Love lost!!

  • fleetwood mac rocks!!! Those who know what great music and talent is will agree.

  • Thanks Dreamz, I have heard Sara, that's my name :o). I think I'll buy Tusk because the other songs are not familiar.

  • I love this song. Too bad it wasn't more well-known like her other stuff.

  • wow, I've never heard this song and I've loved this band since I was a kid. I love her music, do you know any lesser known songs by her that are this good?

  • Maybe I could help you if you can tell me some of the Stevie and Fleetwood Mac albums you have already listened to. If you haven't heard this song, you may have not listened to the "Tusk" album. It's by far the best Fleetwood Mac album by the Rumours line-up of Fleetwood Mac. Most would say Rumours, but that is a close second. At least in my opinion. On "Tusk," "Sister's Of the Moon," "Beautiful Child," "Angel," and "Sara" (you may have heard that one) are all great.

  • "Sleeping Angel" is good, if you haven't heard it before, you should give it a listen.

  • I LOVE the slide show and LOVE the song great video

  • These lyrics are not written by Fleetwood Mac.They are written by Stevie Nicks.She gave it to the band for rhumors.Though it did not fit,next album, Tusk.Never a calm sea alway's a storm.

  • I don't think this song was ever intended to be on "Rumours." The song is about Mick Fleetwood and Stevie didn't have a relationship with him until after the recording of "Rumours."

  • Beautiful song. I never heard this song before, and I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac. I wonder how I missed it.

  • Go out and buy Tusk right now! NOW!!!! Don't even read the rest of this comment. Are you still reading? Better not be...GO GET IT!!! In my opinion, anyone that hasn't listened to Tusk in its entirety is a walking zombie, devoid of spirit, an empty shell of a person that makes God cry at the thought of the unfulfilled potential of his infinite love.

  • Simply Beautiful.

    Only Fleetwood Mac could write a song with so much emotional depth.

  • Carol Ann,I read your book. You weren't very bright. You should have made Lindsey marry you,and not been such a doormat. Now you're older and he's doing what he should have been doing with you.

  • Awesome!!! Awesome!!!!Troy

  • stevie je bande pour toi a vie ta pa une fille ke je l'epouse ?

  • storms is one of the most beautiful sad

    poetic, and hopeful, heatfelt songs ever

  • that's the first comment here that makes any sense

  • Zep and The Mac 4~ever!!

  • wow really cool song

  • awesome one of my favs,a delicate balace of loss,and strength.

  • Thanks for this, love this song. I think the whole TUSK album is so underrated, one of my fave Fleetwood Mac albums with great songs like this one , Beautiful Child, Angel, Never Forget, Brown Eyes, What makes you think you're the one, and Think about me.

  • i love this song but it surprises me that no one is that aware of it. one of the best stevie song for sure. also(this is totally random)but has anyone read that Carol Ann Harris book Storms? odd that she titles it after a stevie song but is not very nice about her in the book. but i guess she's just another wanna-be trying to cash in on people with real talent(like the MAC). it sickens me. =[

  • i second that!

  • exactly! Carol Ann is a skank! if you've read that book then you know it is total BS. i mean if she says "the fleetwood mac family","the inner-circle", or "lindsey is a musical genius" one more time i'm gonna scream! she portrays stevie as a complete airhead. i'm not buying. we all know that stevie can be a little out there at times(with the crystal visions and what not)but i don't think that she's completely oblivious to everything. GIVE ME A BREAK CAROL ANN! okay. i'm done venting now.

  • yea she must be retarded or something did a gram too much on the coke! i was pissed about how she threw lindsey under the bus every othher page. get a life!

  • she probably doesn't even remember any of it b/c she was so stoned. the story about stevie telling her that lindsey only liked her b/c they look alike was rather humorous as was the stevie's poodle does coke story. it seems like there are just enough good stevie moments to get you through it(like the fight w/ mick's wife that probably never happened). yeah. i believe she's just cashin' in on knowing them. it's so wrong. but i would love to hear what the band had to say about the book.

  • same here someone should ask them

  • ahh. i would be too afraid to. (esp stevie and lindsey) i think that there is some mutual hatred for dearest carol. is there a reporter out there brave enough?

  • i totally would even though i love lindsey just to see what he thinks...probably that she's a self obbsorved[sp?] bitch

  • lol. probably. i don't think that they really care b/c they know that 99.9% of it is bull shit. but it would still piss me off. i wonder if they've even read it.

  • one of them probably has i'd bet

  • oh cool. well if you find that interview let me know. i would love to read it.

  • ok i will

  • Sad part about this book it still hurts Lindsey's wife and kids. His kids dont need to see this crap written about their father. Ms. Harris get a life and leave your garbage from 25 years ago down that path. Forgive and let it go. Also it would be a good idea for her to take a close look at herself and see if she was really that innocent back then or even now...

  • Love this beautiful, slow, lesser-known song...

    "I should have known from the first, I'd be the broken-hearted---storms..."

  • (*_WwOoOWOx O xWO woWOO o OW w!!!

  • pura poesia de los 70

  • this and sara

    really relate to these lyrics x

  • Hauntingly Beautiful - just like stevie.

  • hidden treasure i will always remember these songs of my youth
