In memory of Stevies best friend Robin Anderson who died of leukemia in 1981.

My very best friend Robin [Snyder Anderson] called me and told me she had terminal leukemia and that they thought that maybe she might last 3 months. So without a doubt, it was the absolute high and low of success. I never got to enjoy Bella Donna at all because my friend was dying, something went out that day, something left.
She just been in my life since I was 14. She was the one person that knew me for the person I really was and not for the famous Stevie, and it was good to have someone who knew the real you besides just your mom and dad.

She died and they took the baby, and it was like he was 3 months premature, and it was horrible, it was such an upsetting situation ~ you know ~ everyone was just so devastated and there was this little premature baby, and I just went crazy
~Stevie Nicks, Behind the Music/VH1, November 1, 1998


It's the only friendship that I've ever had or... well, I'm not going to say ever will have. We just started out together at 15 years old. She kind of walked me through life. And, as I questioned would there be life after Fleetwood Mac, I certainly questioned would there be life after Robin. Then I found that there is life after Robin, except that it's not the same, not near as special. There's a spirit gone, and that's why I'm really dedicated to this leukemia [benefit]. That's why I will do anything I have to do to make as much money to get rid of this disease as I can because I would really never want anyone to experience losing someone as beautiful as her in this horrible way.
She [Robin] taught me how to sing. She taught me how to use my voice. She made very sure before she left this planet that I was all right, that my voice was all right. I don't have problems with my voice now, but I did and it took us years to fix it. Robin was one of those people [who] when she walked in the room everybody looked. She was breathtaking, and that's why it's so wild that she could possibly have died. It just doesn't make any sense at all.
~Stevie Nicks, Arizona Republic, September 18, 1983

Written by S. Nicks

What's the matter now, angel?
Is it that bad?
I can't control what I say
I don't know how to act

Well, your mother would say
"Well, here is your coffee"
And you would be better
She said that her picture of you
Was against your pillows
Almost asleep, smiling
She says she will never forget this photograph
No forgeries here
No lies for her
She never read my mail
She gave me my freedom

Are you still given to tears?
Sorrow? Do you have something to cry away?
Can I still make you stop crying?
It worked for your mother
Sometimes you smiled
Sometimes you did not smile

Well, my best friend
After all this time
You have run away again
How did you think it would be after so long?
All these years

I guess I told you I have to go away
I have to see my friend from yesterday
Can I borrow all the things that we loved?
We were forbidden to even trade
Ooh, you would open the door
Maybe you'd remember me....

I have to go away
I have to see my friend from yesterday
I have to see her again
Can I borrow all the things we loved?
That we were forbidden to ever trade
My best friend
After all this time
You have run away again

  • This is such a beautiful tribute to her dear friend, Robin Anderson. Stevie is incredible. "Well, my best friend, after all this time, you have run away again, how did you think it would be after so long?"

    Man, that's painful to even read, let alone write, and conjure up that memory, those thoughts.....so sad, but beautiful at the same time. Makes me feel everything, every emotion....out on a limb....<3

  • "Thanks, I hope you like it"

  • Robin must have been very special to Stevie. She certainly was very lovely.

  • Well I am so touched by this video!! Whenever I am feeling down and out, I watch this and then my minor problems go away realizing how precious life is and that it can be gone in a second.
