Well, it really is not. It would hit on the theory that Rhiannon, the goddess, is incarnate once in a million years - or at least that is how one of the legends goes. It makes sense from that angle. But, then again, Rhiannon, though written about the goddess, is really about LB

Not really. It's still stupid.

I think "heavy" is a great word whether it still carries a hippy connotation or not. It's so much better than "AWESOME" which is so over-used by young people. EVERY F'ING thing can't be so spectacular that we could call it awesome. My god.

And I hear her saying "all the same name" very clearly in the older recordings and have no idea what the hell she's talking about but I'm sure it's pretty heavy.

Thanks for hearing that too

I thought I was hearing voices again and was time for that nice white jacket that makes me hug myself

Well color me stupid, I always thought she was saying "all the same game".

Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind, and still, it's hard to find
I know
You dreams unwind, and still, it's a state of mind
I know
Dreams unwind, and still, it's hard to find
I know
Dreams unwind, and still, it's a state of mind
I know....

All the same, all the same (Even though, or still...)
All the same, Rhiannon
All the same, baby, all the same
All the same

And he still cries out for her...
"Don't leave me, now"

But that's just me.

well said Cat.

What does "heavy" even mean? Like "cool"? I thought that in NMB when she says "sometimes it was too heavy" she means that things got too intense...

Me too! Game makes much more sense as well. It's all the same game...chasing Rhiannon, and never catching her because she is like a cat in the dark, or a skylark. He cries for her, but then she is gone. He cannot find her, and never stops searching. In the end, it's all the same game. Again and again.

I don't feel so stupid now! If only I could figure out the gibberish she screams at the end of the version in "Fleetwood Mac Live" (Tusk tour), I might be able to figure this out.

....
All the same
All the same
All the same...Rhiannon
All the same
All the same
All the same...Rhiannon
All the same game
All the same game
All the same game...Rhiannon
All the same game
All the same game
All the same game

I've always though this next part was like a 'he said', 'she said' argument.

(he says) Oh, take me with you to the sky
(she says) Dreamer
(the Universe says) Try hard...try to leave her
(she says) Dream on, silly dreamer, try hard
(he says) Oh, take me to the sky
(she says) Dreamer
(she says again) Oh....Silly little dreamer

That's what I hear, anyway.

[Rickypt]

Good ears! I'm thinking that it might very well be "game." Exactly how you said, an endless chase.

All I know is that when I sing along at concerts, I say "game" and it sounds just right!

I would think "heavy" refers to intense. But I guess it could be either good or bad intensity.
