Oh, for sure. Many, many, many.

Okay, amber, has to be Lindsey's. I'm too lazy to dig up the dvd now. But this is what she looks like when she says it

Totally, that's exactly what she looks like. Wait, no, I think the camera was farther away...

I usually prefer a cigarette.

Okay, effin' found it! Lindsey's BTM: "I wish all the time that it could have just worked out. Sometimes I feel everybody thinks it was just me, but Lindsey wasn't happy either."

(and the camera was not further away!)

Well, at least we both like to smoke.

mmmm, I think it was. I don't believe you. Nevermind that you probably just looked at it.

And to me, here's what her sentence means: "Everybody thinks it was just me [that wanted to break up] but Lindsey wasn't happy either [and wanted to break up as well].

heheheh, made you look!

No, no, no, no.

It was more like: "Everybody thinks it was just me [being a bitch], but Lindsey wasn't happy either [so I actually did him a favor by leaving]."

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I'm not agreeing to it.

Hehehehe, but no, another reason I think what i do is some other interview with Stevie, it seemed like she was talking about how before Mac they were wanting to break up, and the way she said it or described something strongly implied that at some time or another both of them wanted to. This was a written interview.

Anyway, no big, obviously.

No, I have to step away from this discussion now, for a minute there I felt compelled to look up that interview you mentioned, because I think I know which one you mean.

Back on topic, here's Stevie Dreams'ing on the piano:

Wow, you would have done that? I read and hear so much stuff here, I can't remember where it was all from. Or, I guess I don't want to that much. I just like to use it all to form my opinions, storing the impression vaguely in my brain, gaining a new insight with each new bit of information. Dates and exact words would just clog all that.

But I don't have a bad memory, if I've bothered to remember the impression, the words, if found, will support it (subject to interpretation of course).

Thanks for the piano thingy. It's okay. A large part of what makes that song so special is the work of the entire band on it. Of course Stevie always supplies the brilliant if unpolished seed.

I'm a date whore. I need to know when everything took place to the hour preferably. Everything on my harddrive comes with a date. And my mind has an endless capacatiy for useless information, so a lot of quotes and dates are burned into my brain.

Oh, ofcourse. I just really love her voice in this little clip. And besides, it's the only Dreams on piano we have.

I personally think Dreams is one of the VERY few Fleetwood Mac songs that haven't been done live and matched or bettered the studio version. 85 percent of Fleetwood Mac songs and thats on the low side are far better live even when the studio versions are still great. But I think Dreams along with only Hypnpotised really are at their absolute best in the studio. I know some will also add Gypsy and Sara, but I think both have at least one live version out there that are better in some ways then the studio version. There have been some good live Dreams, don't get me wrong, but it almost boggles my mind how perfect they got that studio track, all the things you've all already mentioned, the drums, bass, harmonies, perfect vocal, that crying guitar. Same goes for Hypnotised. No live versions come close to that studio version. Either with the Rumours line up doing it, or Bob's own live versions. I personally would add Why to this very small list too, although many will make the argument that those live White Album tour versions with Stevie and Lindsey on harmony are better then the studio version, I personally believe the studio version can't be touched there. I think the only 2 for sure that almost no one will disagree with are Hypnotised and the focus of this thread.

Yes, Dreams is overplayed, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great song. It's really good. But I don't think is timeless. The electric guitar sounds typical 70s, like YMLKF also. I wouldn't date Dreams in the 80s, for example.

See, I think YMLF sounds very dated to the late 70's, but not Dreams.

Dreams is the first song I can ever remember making me cry.

Seriously.
