When I hear this I think of my tiny premature 6-day old daughter who we held in our arms while she took her last breath. We love you and miss you so much Lauren. Most days, I just want to die.
best voice in this band,tooooooooooooo bad she is not touring this year with the band,does any one know why chrstine is not touring with fleetwood mac,i heard it is because she is too tired,after all she is 66 looks 46 voice of an angel her and eva cassidy,thanks for the memories christine,this is my favourite song from fleetwood mac,brings tears to my eyes every tim i play it, played it at my mom,s funeral may you live for ever
I saw them during their reunion tour and the absolute last encore song that was sung...was Songbird. Christine came out...alone...on the piano with a candlebra. Sang the song...and the stage went black after she left. It was beautifu. I would love to see them again during this new tour...but Christine is not joining the rest of the group. :(
This song has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I was given the Rumors LP for Christmas when it came out. I too have been caring for my husband who was diagnosed with brain cancer back in January 2008. Sadly, he passed away on December 26, 2008, only six hours after our entire family had Christmas dinner together. I asked him to please stay with us until after Christmas was done, and he did that for me. I cry every time I hear this song, because I love him like never before.
My brother gave me this song on tape while our dad was home dying of cancer ( I cared for him) and I would hear it every day. The moment it really got to me was when I sat at an intersection waiting for the green,on my way to get more morphine and I was tired and depressed. I had my 18 month old son that I was raising alone and I sat there and cried on the steering wheel, literally not caring if people were honking at me. So sad and yet I love this song.
She may be the most under rated songwriter of the last 30 years. This song is absolutely beautiful. No one could sing this today...could never be this vulnerable or passionate.
Chris' best song ever. I have been listening to this song for over 30 years and it still gives me goosebumps. Now that Chris has retired, the Mac will never be the same. A good many of their best tunes were hers.
omg. listened to this song since rumours came out and i never thought of funerals til i read this post..
my mum has been dead since 2003 and yet reading about others loss has me struggling through the tears to see what i am typing.
it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written imo. very haunting, very evocotive of youthful loves lost for me. i played the album til it was literally worn out and had to go buy another copy from Woolworths(won't be able to do that again).
wow. my mum passed away on the 20th Dec 08 ( a week and two days ago), and my family chose this song for the recollection part of her funeral. its so lovely.
My dad recently passed away. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, esp. the Rumors Album. He would always dedicate this one to me, b/c I was his little girl, the light of his life. There is nothing like the love a father has for his little girl.... I love you daddy!
To my loving brother Michael Lafleche (died of cancer 10-2-08) I will never forget you! Things will never be the same without you. May you rest in peace. Your sister Monique
I would like to dedicate this song to my precious son. RIP sweet Jordan. 11-5-83/11-5/08. and I love you, I love you, I love you....Like never before.
I know your terrible pain, brother. Whenever I hear this heartwrenching song, I think of my wife, Louise, who died of cancer two years ago. I miss her so much as you miss your son, Jorden. I will pray that you find peace. Georgie
Thank you so much Georgie. I will pray for your heart-wrenching pain as well and hope that someday you will find peace and comfort in knowing Louise is in heavenly sunshine and free of pain. It's been 1 month today since we lost Jordan and the pain just seems to get worse. Thank you again for your prayers - Sam
MY sister and I chose this song for the funeral of my (younger) brother a couple years back (2006), and we were grateful for the opportunity.
He had three siblings, We two who survived him, and one who did not (his twin brother died twenty years before he did).
We particularly loved the: "I love you, I love you, I love you (like never before)"...because we felt those lines could have been offered on behalf of all THREE of us (even the one who is no longer here).
What's with the negative responses over Eva Cassidy's version? It isn't offensive to say you prefer Eva's version. I dare say Christine was writing/singing about John, so it's personal to her in a way it can never be to anyone else, but Eva Cassidy transformed many lovely songs in ways that never seemed possible, even acknowledged classics like Over The Rainbow and Imagine.
Just accept that people have different opinions, please, eh?
Christine McVie is such a gifted artist. This song is "For no one and everyone" she said. I personally feel that Stevie was like on a different level of musical appreciation then Chris. (God bless her I love the lady) but it seems Christine didn't get the recognition she deserved. But what do I know! Eric.
Christine- the original voice of an angel... Beautiful word's- beautiful music- First time I heard it-late 70's or early 80's she's alway's been a comfort, for those day's that just don't pan out! God Bless you Christine and Thank you!!!! kml-boston
It seems ironic to me that l didn't think for one minute that Christine McVie created this song and not just done a version of it. Normally original is the best, which is not the case with this song, unfortunately.
Whichever way we express our opinions, we are free to choose our frases and words we use. That's what the freedom of expression is all about. However, calling someone an "idiot" or "moron" is, quite frankly, pathetic and a sad waste of space.
Lina43 As far as the song goes I disagree and I think that Christine does the best version. However you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it. Someone who hides behind a computer and hurls insults at another for simply having an opnion is a very sad individual.
Don't know who Eva Cassidy is or that she did the song so just checked. IMO Fleetwood Mac version at least as good as, for me it has more pathos and is less country & western.
"What did they do with this song?" I guess you had to say that, if you had simply said, "I liked the original" your comment wouldn't sound as important, dramatic or "knowledgeable".
Christine's is no 'version'. It's HER song, she composed it, it originates and ends with her. Others are just pale copies, no matter how lovely. Christine is the artist, the poet, the love there is from her.
more like, the original. and the idea of having to comment to someone due to their use of the word "version" to describe, a version of the song, orignal or not. And Eva Cassidy in my opinion did a very good take on this wonderful song, both their voices are ace.
This is one of those songs that can become anyone's song, they can make it their own, personal and special. I think Christine said that it was for everyone. What a gift!
I heard this for the 1st time when I was with someone very special this weekend. He is someone I love very deeply but will never be able to have love me back. It fits our situation perfect! I sang it to him as I gazed deeply into his eyes & I truly think he felt what I was feeling. The words are amazing!!
Every doris I met, liked this song for some twit they knew before me.. Now this just reminds of ex-dorises.. how can music unlock stuff we hide away from.. ace song..
There are many comments here regarding Eva Cassidy's version of the song. I do love that version with all my heart, and Eva shall rest in peace forever - but Christine wrote the song, and without the song being written, it could not have been sung.
This was the version I always knew and loved. Ive only just heard Eva Cassidys version. I like both, but I prefer this one because its simple and this song sounds better that way.
Thanks for reminding me of Rumours. We used to have the album years ago but I had forgotten loads of the tracks. Christine McVie has a truly terrific voice.
How come I have never heard Christine McVie's version before - the original I presume. Eva Cassidy's is much more sentimental but this is wonderful, true emotion. Love this one!
this is THE version from the 70s album Rumours . One of the greatest albums of all time. Eva Cassidy's version although very good probably gains notoriety because of her untimely death.
Hello cossielass,after reading your comment regarding Eva Cassidy,I listened a couple of times to it and you'r right it is really good, but she did tend to stretch the words much like ordinary "pop stars"do and I'm afraid that put me off her version.However,I listened to a few other of her songs and was so impressed that they are now in my favourites list.Thanks for that.
I saw FM live in Australia in 1980. It is one of the best concerts I've ever seen despite Stevie Nicks appearing to be a bit burnt out by the length of the tour. Festival Hall is a huge auditorium, but during this song I was the only person there and Christine was singing it only to me.

this is THE version from the 70s album Rumours . One of the greatest albums of all time. Eva Cassidy's version although very good probably gains notoriety because of her untimely death.

Hello cossielass,after reading your comment regarding Eva Cassidy,I listened a couple of times to it and you'r right it is really good, but she did tend to stretch the words much like ordinary "pop stars"do and I'm afraid that put me off her version.However,I listened to a few other of her songs and was so impressed that they are now in my favourites list.Thanks for that.

P.S.I've just found "Autumn Leaves" by Eva Cassidy and it's gone straight in at No1 on my all time top 10 favourites.I am deeply indebted to you.

May I be so bold as to suggest "Athair Ar Namh" by Enya. If you like Eva Cassidy you might like this.

John McVie and Mick Fleetwood used to stand backstage during concerts when this was played and cry.

I saw FM live in Australia in 1980. It is one of the best concerts I've ever seen despite Stevie Nicks appearing to be a bit burnt out by the length of the tour. Festival Hall is a huge auditorium, but during this song I was the only person there and Christine was singing it only to me.

It must have been so awesome for you. Hopefully I might get to experience this too when Fleetwood Mac goes on tour soon.

Yes, that's right, fartracer. it was the length of the tour that burned Stevie out. Nothing else. ;-)
