There are many songs that I love, but the one that is most important to me is Landslide. I've had a lot of people in my life that I loved dearly but as I've grown as a person and they had either stayed the same or grew in another direction, Landslide has always reminded me that it's okay to grow and change. And if that change puts distance between you and someone you care about, it's just the way things need to be. And as much as I love all these new performances of it, I think the one from the first Fleetwood Mac Live album is the one that always gets to me. Mainly because it's the one that doesn't sound like all the others. She's so frail and emotional. I also love the one with the orchestra behind her from Crystal Visions, just because it's so beautiful.

I like so many, don't think I could pick any real faves.

The Highwayman
Lady from the Mountain
Battle of the Dragon
Nightbird
Garbo
Seven Wonders
I Can't Wait
Straight Back
Think About It
The Dealer
She Still Loves Him
Sanctuary

I know "The Highwayman" is not popular on this board, but it's one of the only songs that I think is perfect - vocal, melody, production, lyrics - Jimmy nailed it in the studio with this one. (And none of the demos or outtakes are as good as what was wisely chosen for BD.)
Also, it stands out to me as one of Stevie's only guy songs, speaking to a man's feelings (and without frilly references to paper flowers and the like). In its own way, "Lady from the Mountain" does this, too, at least in the one verse.

Love is
That song could have been written just for a particular relationship of mine

Storms
Angel

Wild Heart...don't blame it on me baby...blame my wild heart....

[brocadelady]

Beautiful Child - it ended a numbness for me, it allowed me to cry tears of freedom. I'm not really certain what this song means but for me when I listen, it is as if someone is singing it to me. This person is a real angel for me. It is healing.

Smile At You - 'My first mistake was to smile at you' yeah, ever love someone so much it hurts? The thought of their moving away forever or temporarily hurt so much you wish you could just erase all the love and time you've shared...

Landslide - 'I've been afraid of changing, because I built my life around you' same reason as above...

Silver Springs - The intensity of the final few 'and I'll follow you down till the sound of my voice haunts you' just gets me every time, it's a song that frees me from a lot of anger or hurt or sadness etc It is abreaction in a song!


Songs from In Your Dreams: More certain phrases that really sooth me than anything else, things I'd like to say to someone or things they've said to me...
For What it's Worth - 'You saved my life, I won't forget it'

You May Be The One - 'You may have the question but you'll never answer to me'
'I can't believe what you are saying... I used to love you so much, I was a starving child. I used to love you, See the light inside of you, I used to dream that , You were an angel, You were an angel,And I was a starving child,And we were magic...'

Italian Summer - 'There was love all around you just had to fall'

You've just put into words exactly how i've felt the past few months and why landslide is so important to me. My life and the people in it have changed so much in such a short space of time i felt like i was losing all that i was/am. I couldn't get my head around how growing up has to sometimes mean growing apart from the people that have been so entwined in my life for as long as I can remember, how my best friends are becoming strangers to me and how i have one more year left of my course before I have to go out and try to make it on my own. I used to listen to landslide on repeat all night because I could never sleep. Never before has a song touched me that much and literally described my situation at the time. I think the lyrics "can i sail through the changing ocean tide, can i handle the seasons of my life" are the lyrics that mean the most to me. Her music has made me feel a lot less lonely at 3am when i can't sleep. -sorry for the essay aha.

I never uynderstand why so many people don't like The Highwayman. It's one of my favourites.

Thanks haha,

basically, those are the only "gentle" ones on my PSP MP3 player that are manually selectable. amongst a few other gentle songs, the 3 i picked are the ones i listen to first. i do then try something a little more rockier like Sisters of the moon, but then i loose that atmosphere and feel worse so i revert back

on the other feeling when listening, its enough to half pay attention to your thoughts of the evening and reflect on whatever happened. got to remember, this is usually for me 6am when its almost sunrise, usually on a saturday or sunday morning, and im not awake and somewhat mentally ill , so thats why they work so well for me.

On those mornings, I try to not reflect on what happened the night before... wishing for those long nets of white, etc.
