[N0rtheasternGuy]

Just when I thought I heard every conceivable Fleetwood Mac song, I come across one I never heard. Thank you for creating in Lindsey. It's beautiful. - Joel 30/m/ny

[TheStellargal]

Lindsey's voice is sooooooooooooooooooo sexy!! My God, he gets me going all the time!

[Droz570]

i can't stop listening to this song, i love it !

[zerrissen28]

love this song!!

[nelsonr32]

How the hell can this have two dislikes??

[LovelyLady6346]

Most all their songs were based about each other...I think they still love each other..Remember true love never dies!...<3

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Lindsay Buckingham (October 3)

[MM5079]

LB is singing to my Stevie! Just like she sings to him!

I'm giving out, but I'm not giving in! Goodbye ANgel!

[aladophia]

@neorich59...which documentary did u watch that u are talking about? just curious..would like to watch it myself.

[neorich59]

What a pity you can't download this, I'd do it in an instant, but have been unable to find it, at all.

Watched a documentary recently which totally turned my thoughts on Buckingham/Nicks on it's head.

I'd always assumed that she'd spent the last 20 years, or so, pining after him and pouring it into her songs.

This documentary seemed to suggest that it was the other way around.

[Muttly0206]

@neorich59 Am i right in thinking they were actually a couple before Fleetwood mac, i know they were a duo before mac, the way they sing to each other on 'Say Goodby' you can tell there must have been someting between them in the past, only 2 people that were in love with each other at some stage in their lives can pull that off.

Or have i got it completely wrong lol

[neorich59]

@Muttly0206

Yep they were a couple before F'Mac and it's pretty well documented that they were in the middle of a break up during the making of Rumours, as were Christine & John McVie.

It's often argued that, that's what gave Rumours it's "edge," and which contributed to it's intensity and immense sales as what they were going through came out via the vinyl..and, I agree there's always going to be this "thing," between them, it's one the reasons they're still so good to watch live! ;O)

[Muttly0206]

@neorich59 Do you think the song 'say goodbye' was Lindsey saying he has finally come to the conclusion that they would never be together ?? 'Once you said goodbye to me, now i say good bye to you', & what you said about the Rumours makes sense cos even in 'Say goobye' he sings too her...'Its hard to find your way, when the liars come around'

[neorich59]

@Muttly0206

I think he'd come to that conclusion many years before and has been happily married, for many years, but maybe it's like first loves and all that, difficult to forget about, particularly when you spent huge amounts of time in the company of that person years after it's supposedly all over and done with?

There's a great DVD called "Destiny Rules," which documents the making of the last Mac album which gives an insight into their ongoing "issues," ;O)

[Muttly0206]

@neorich59 Thanks i will look out for that, i've been a big fanof F/mac fan since 1974 have seen them in concert a few times over the yearsStevie nicks is still stunning and not lso her voice at all but i do find it difficult to listen her solo stuff (altho its still awesome)

[neorich59]

@Muttly0206

I didn't get into them till about a year after "Rumours," was the number 1 album for about as long.

I'm a total Mac-fan, have all the albums since Lindsey & Stevie joined apart from when Lindsey left, all their solo stuff and the more recent album and have seen them 2x in recent years and wasn't disappointed.

There was a time when Stevie was close to losing it, but, thankfully got herself sorted in time.

Would love them to put out the early Buckingham/Nicks album on CD/download.

[BaronVonBielski]

This should have been on Mirage... can't see why it was left off.

[bobby7771117]

@BaronVonBielski What song would you have taken off the Mirage album to put this in place of it! The only other choice was to probably make a double-album, that usually don't sell that well--except for the early 70's, and my musical hero, Dan Fogelberg, The Innocent Age, in 1981! But, I think double or triple albums were basically gone with the advent of the 80's! But, I like you, am a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, so I feel your pain! Sincerely, BobbyK

[teamcrumb]

I feel this song isnt about being in control of letting go, its seems to be more about things becoming impossible and having to let go. None of us can know who loved who the most or who was reaching for who and pulling away from who.I hear a man filled with regret and loss of love, but we hear it as a strength because it is delt with via a song, beautiful songs. Imagine if the only way you could undertand a feeling was to write a song about it . . . man they make themselves so vulnerable . . .

[lbap94]

my favorite Lindsey picture is the one with him and his guitar when he was little I'm naming my little boy Lindsey

[moonflower0924]

dont do that to him. lol

[lbap94]

most likely no maybe a middle name

[moonflower0924]

I do hope he turns out as good looking and talented as LB. ;)

[lbap94]

so do I =] I'm gonna teach him all about Lindsey and the guitar if he's anything like me I'll have the next Lindsey Buckingham on my hands...

[lbap94]

=] so do I if he's anything like me he will be

[dandeexxxx]

I got some good dirt on your mom. Should we put it up here?

[agentgooner007]

The band (like most) has a history of mashing up it's members like original member Peter Green who went a bit crazy ape bonkers (do yourself a favour and checkout Fleetwood Mac Need your love so bad 5*+) to see the big man in action. Genius.

[wwecindy4]

I read in an interview Stevie did, that she said her & Lindsey lived together for 6years! & that she cooked, cleaned and did his laundry. She said that's the closest she's ever gonna get to knowing how married life would have been like :(

[dandeexxxx]

you people are watching too much TMZ. thisband is one of the best ever. Lets enjoy their music!

[wwecindy4]

TMZ! I don't watch that crap! Plus they never talk about real bands! All they talk about is britney & Jonas Brothers! Plus Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band! I saw them May 23 live!! :D

[dandeexxxx]

sorry-anyone who likes Fleetwood Mac AND the three stooges is ok in my book.

[wwecindy4]

Lol thanks, but yea I understand what u were trying to say, some people just keep saying bad stuff about them, instead of just enjoying their music.

[agentgooner007]

Don't let that silly old fool suffocate your own opinion. Who the heck does it think it is to go around telling people not to say bad things about a band and who cares whats ok in it's book when judging by the comments of others on it's channel it likes nothing more than to go around writing comments that rub people up the wrong way and then cowardly removing it's comments like a snide creep. Be aware and God bless. No need to respond.

[dandeexxxx]

you said what? Niagara Falls? Slowly I turned, step by step

[dandeexxxx]

please people-judge them by their music.I dont care who did what to who-just listen to the music.

[agentgooner007]

No judge people by their evil and no more.

[dandeexxxx]

gee are you religious and stupid?

[wwecindy4]

I wasn't talking anything bad about this band! This band is the best! Plus I was talking to someone else about an interview Stevie gave once about what she thought of married life! So don't think I'm putting them down, Cus i'm not! Come one Mac fans gotta stick together Lol :)

[agentgooner007]

You are the one who asked people to "judge people by their music" lol how? So shall we judge Ike turner as a nice guy because he do some tunes or by the evil he did when snorting coke and battering his wife you limp wristed fool. Judge people by their music lmao wtf does that even mean and the more educated start a sentence with a capital letter. Do you also mean that all religious people are stupid and by definition all non religious people are not stupid?

[dandeexxxx]

youre jumpin into way too many conclusions. i would seek some therapy if I were you

[agentgooner007]

Other than you are a limp wristed fool I have not come to any conclusions which is why I asked you questions. If I were you I would seek an english tutor. Therapy never really made across the pond we British as a nation have never been manic enough for such nonsence to become a trend.

[agentgooner007]

Well done I grade you a D- for observation however I must now deduct a grade for "youll and outa" so it's a E-. I have a couple of American friends here in London who have both been hospitalized when they first came here and both noted that in America the shouting goes on for ages and then there "maybe a fight" where as in England you get your face smashed in the second you get gobby. I was also told this when I lived in Amsterdam by many American friends that I have. So i doubt this.

[agentgooner007]

Also when I watch UFC UK v US I cannot help but notice the diffrence between the faces of the American fighters and the Brits with the Americans beat to fuck with their teeth knocked the fuck out and the Brits only losing through pussyhole grappling maneuvers. So again I doubt this

[dandeexxxx]

you Brits are really tough. call someonelse in the next World War

[agentgooner007]

To right we lose to many in "friendly fire" when you go nuts under the pressure (maybe they miss their therapist) lol (when did we even call anyway you never heard of Pearl Harbour). I would give you a lesson in history like how you are still under Britsh rule but it would probably ruin you both financially (therapist bills) and mentally (vicious circle) so I will give you a clue Rothschilds. I also know the truth behind all the revolutions and wars but will go along with this for a laugh.

[agentgooner007]

Delta Force Shmelta Force when your lot want something doing they call the real men the SAS.

[dandeexxxx]

like I said call someone else in the next world war

[agentgooner007]

Your boring me now with your silly non corresponding reply's you offer no challenge. So to end it I would like to suggest a song you may like that I have already suggested and that is Fleetwood Mac - Need you love so bad. Sixtiesfreak1 is the best quality one. Let me know what you think. Take care.

[teamcrumb]

Maybe i'm obsessed, but I think every song he ever wrote since they split is pretty much about Stevie. So much of his stuff his happy and sad and full of longing. Out Of The Cradle is so sad and beautiful, I'll happily stand corrected, but they both grew big egos, both felt threatened by each others success, and have both spent half a lifetime in healthy denial, producing beautiful songs because they are both so talented they can never stop, but oh if they had stayed together . . .

[atlantisb34]

I agree. I think if they were still "Buckingham Nicks" they would have stayed together. Joining FM must have put a masive strain on their relationship. Oh they would have had such talentted kiddies!!:P

[BONETHUGS4LIFE9]

dude i love this

[amsterdammara]

whos is carol.??? is he nuts.??no women can compare with stevie!!...i grew up in the 80's ..so i dont know nottin about their history togheter.. what the hell happend to them.??? they are soo good togheter!! they are both good lookin/great singers/writers/..how can they not stay togheter.????..

[turnernathaniel1]

stevie is an awesome artist and they were great together i agree, but the problem is, that stevie did not respect lindseys personal identity. she wanted him to be completly wrapped up in her with no regard to his desires or what he wanted and then there was all of the drugs

[moonflower0924]

"but the problem is, that stevie did not respect lindseys personal identity. she wanted him to be completly wrapped up in her with no regard to his desires or what he wanted" i think you got backwards.

[RUTGERMORTENSEN]

stevie is a siren she tore lindsey to bits cheating on him..........hes better without her,and lindsey buckingham IS fleetwoodmac

[turnernathaniel1]

i will alway like stevie. I think she is really talanted. but as you say, she was really wild. i think she was jelous of the fact that she played a small part in the dynamics of the band, a part, but a small part. so as we all know, jelousy will drive us to do some pretty weird stuff, well jelousy and resentments.

[turnernathaniel1]

right at 2:24 the angels sing

[njova25]

I definitely think this song is about Stevie just listen to the lyrics. He was still with Carol at this point though but obviously things were still going on behind the scenes with Stevie and Lindsey.

[turnernathaniel1]

i agree, i think it was about the fall that she took with her voice. she lost her false-seto. but, when they got back together in 97 you can hear some restoration in her voice.

on the song rhiannon, i beleive on the third go around of 'well would you stay if she promised you heaven' you can hear some of her false-seto repaired.

[turnernathaniel1]

yeah, ive always know that this song was about stevie, i just listened to the lyrics.

i mean, i figured it out several years ago.

[ancientqueen09]

The song is nice

if it is about Carol

than to bad

obviously she was inlove with him

and he with someone else.

[NateBlairGG]

I read some of her book "Storms". And I think she still doesn't understand she was just seat fitting.

[muc390]

Lindsey is the man!

[blinko656]

Went to High School with Lindsey. Nicest person. Just had our 40 year reunion. ugh

[cnqnmei]

Care to share more about him?All we hear is Stevie's- he was possesive, Ayatollah, bully, cnt do anythg excpt play guitar. Dumped him & never forgot to remind us. Rub salt to wound - her words "he barely survived Stevie and Lindsey's breakup, .. was the man who loved me the most but love of my life was J Walsh ". Her songs all make her sound like the victim and Lindsey the aggresor of the breakup. Wonder what Lindsey is like - private &underappreciated. Love Stevie but she mks me mad s/times.

[cnqnmei]

Blinko656, I'm addressing the above to you as you'd mentioned knowing him in high school. Tks.

[moonflower0924]

cnqnmei, i agree but what i get from stevie is that she was unhappy in their relationship b/c he was freeloading off her. lol he probably did become possesive after his "bitch" decided that she'd had enough and i think he's been the love of her life but like she said they were as compatible as a rat and a snake.

[getinthebagpony]

Ah, but who was the rat? And who was the snake?

And when oh when will the latter try and attack the former again? Hopefully after the new album is recorded and on the shelves!

I'm loving this Unleashed truce atmn..;)

[biglindseyfan77]

(blinko656) Wow, that is so AWESOME that you attended school with Lindsey!!!! (:

[EarlSkakel]

The song is about Carol Ann Harris...not Stevie.

[moonflower0924]

Is so funny how you turn every song into a love story between Lindsey and Stevie

like they didnt have a life. lol

flamingcrystal, you're still cool in my book. :)

[flamingcrystal]

I didn't write those interpretations myself.

[dcs06yomama]

I love this song. Another one that should've been on there instead of "Empire State."

[astroman287]

i can t stand it, what a great talent.

[BART51258]

Beautiful and meaningful song.

[Rhiannonlynn1970]

Love this song and video!!!Thxs for posting

[lbap94]

i love this song and the first pics soooo cute!!![=

[fleetwoodmath]

Lovely!!! Loved it as soon as I heard it on the 25 years collection. Lindsey is talent personified!

[jldroke]

he is gorgeous at 2:26! omg!

[pheloniousmunk]

At 2:26 he looks like Zoolander!

[bulgogi71]

can anyone tell me if i can this on any cd? love this song..love lindsey forever!

[thecountrygirl]

This song is on the "25 Years: The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. It's a four-CD box set that was released in 1992 featuring a compendium of hits, plus unreleased material. You can find it by typing in "25 Years: The Chain" on e b a y or a m a z o n. Just make sure to get the 4-disc box set. :)

[bulgogi71]

thanks a lot..just bought it on ebay! will enjoy listening to this many many times on my cd player..lol:)

[MarkJS1991]

If anyone has the pic at 2:49 could you contact me please

[MarkJS1991]

Beautiful song...Why on Earth was this not properly released on an Album.

It has Hit written all over it.

[GrissFan]

Beautiful song, and beautiful man!

[YTFAVS]

awesome! 5*

[Rob130290]

''he could always magically make her songs sound beautiful': Sadly he rarely gets the credit he deserves for this......
