What about Cecelia?
Someone sent me an MP3 of an old, never-released FM song called Cecelia. Well, I think it's FM--it's just Stevie, an accoustic guitar and very subtle drumming. It's amazing.
Anyway, someone told me it might go clear back to the Tusk era. I just don't know. It's a haunting, dark and beautiful song. I'm sure others on this board must have heard it. I was just wondering why this song (which IMO would be terrific for the new album) never went anywhere. Does anyone have any info on it? |

Thanks, Adam. I might have the Master version. It's 7.5 mins long and the quality is pretty good.
Have you heard it? |

I downloaded Ceceilia ages ago...I never really knew where it came from. My version is 2:44 and it cuts out while the song is still in full flow. The quality is very bad. Very nice song though.
Can somebody please confirm the origins of the song for us? Cheers, |

A year or two ago, the contents of some boxes in a storage room or facility previously used by Modern Records were auctioned on eBay. The contents consisted of several reel-to-reels of Stevie Nicks material, including "Cecelia" (or "Cecilia") with improved sound. I am dubious of the song's alleged connection to Fleetwood Mac session work. But now that Mick Fleetwood is "chatting" & "interacting" with us over on his official home page, we can ask him! |

She was around in 1979
I have a live version of "Sisters of the Moon" from 1979 where, at the end, Stevie launches into the lyrics of Cecelia. "Where have the white birds flown, have they flown so very far? No, they're just asleep...therein..." I'd guess she was either working on it or finished with it by then. By the way, the lyrics really blend right in to SOTM nicely.

Thanks everyone
Thanks, everyone, for all the information. I just listened to this thing again, and it really is beautiful.
I got Cecilia from a techie-nerd guy who works on my office floor. He got it from "some obscure MP3 site that not too many people know about." I'd told him I was a real FM fan and out of the blue he e-mailed this to me the other day. He's real proud of the fact that I've never heard of it. And you're right, David--it is "Cecilia" and not "Cecelia". Brain freeze here. |
