Silver Springs
I'm sorry if something like this has been posted several times before but this just came up on shuffle and I really started thinking about how amazing this song is. I think, objectively, this is probably Stevie's greatest creation. Because not only is it an incredible song, it's an EFFECTIVE song. In my opinion, this song, especially the end of it, accomplishes the same type of "thing" that Eric Clapton accomplished with Layla. It's hard to put it into words, but it just has this power and quality to it that doesn't happen too often.
And I know people mostly talk about the version from the Dance which is epic, no doubt about it. But I don't think anything compares to the original vocal. The little growl in her voice when she goes "from the SOUND" at the end. |

My favorite Stevie/FM song. I first heard and fell in love with the version on The Dance when I was in college...later heard the version that on Crystal Visions and love that too. Wonderful song.

The Dance version is so spot on. They actually don't have to act in that version because I can see Stevie feeling it. Also, Christine's piano, harmony and Lindsey's guitar give the song magic.

Silver Springs is probably Stevie's greatest creation? You've heard Sara and Gypsy, right? The Dance version of Silver Springs is really good, but the backup singers ruined the chorus, way too many voices singing in that performance. Last edited by Wdm6789; 05-03-2017 at 05:31 AM.. |

Silver Springs is one of my favourite tunes both by Stevie and FM; my favourite version is this one with the epic long coda that gradually builds up, it's the closest we have to the almost 7 minutes one Stevie said was initially envisioned. In my opinion in this form it's one of the best power ballads ever written.

The Dance version is good and I do agree with backup singers ruined the chorus for sure...nothing beats the studio release. |

personally I love the vocals they went with on the B-side. The youtube version above is I think closer to what Stevie wanted her vocals to be-- more upfront in the mix (they way she would eventually get them on her solo albums). She's a bit more blended in the mix on the single version and they went with a little less of the rocking edge vocals at the end (they are woven in with the softer vocal take as well). So this is interesting coz I think it's more what she would have wanted but wasn't powerful enough in the band to demand at the time, and the released version is closer to what the producers (including Lindsey) envisioned for her voice. That said, I do like the released one better.

Haunting! I can't even imagine an alternate future in which Rumours somehow had more of a lasting impact than it already does... But with this song on there, I believe it would!
