[Keith]

"..like a voice in the wilderness... crying.. is there anybody? there must be somebody there.."

Love Don't Fail Me Now. As I listen to my copy of this beautiful track, I can only think how wonderful it will sound without the slow fade in and out start and the hissing throughout.. all I can say is what a wonderful time to be a Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks fan. First, Christine McVie has rejoined the band, which I never thought would happen, and Stevie is giving her fans her demos.. aged and how she wanted to share them with us. Yes, I love many of the demos, but I am so excited about how she is going to wrap them up in her velvet and share them with us.. remember, she hasn't shared them with us.. someone else did. I'm not worried about the new album.. my thoughts are if I don't like them as much as the demo version - well, I have the demo version to listen to.. but I think this record is going to rock! "they were afraid of her.. she had no heart.." "what will you do when the feeling is gone.. where have you gone.. so far from me.." "blue water.. I sit and I wait for the morning to come.." "so in your laughter.. you do scream.." "I don't ever want to know about new people in your life.." "my soul has soared, I have reached great heights, but the ground is further than I thought.." "gone like the wind.. like the stars in the dust.. well, her little toy soldier is covered with rust.." "for in my house.. no teasing spirit.. no false laughter..." "you never loved the softness in my soul.. and yet you stayed with me so very long.. "..charmed ones remain.. well, I already lost one guiding light.." "here comes the cold chill... in the rain she laid face down.. what kind of freedom.. what kind of game.. my dreams... my 24 karat gold.." 24 Karat Gold.. thank you, Stevie. "the poet in my heart.."
