Name ONE song by Stevie Nicks that "changed" your life? - Page 2

Sleepless-Child · #16 11-26-2009, 01:07 PM

One song...Edge of Seventeen, probably. It was the first Stevie/Mac song that I've ever heard, and it changed everything. I remember the first time I heard it, and I'll never forget it, and how much I cried when I saw the 81 live. That was my first Stevie experience, and even if it's not my favorite song, and I don't listen to it that much, it has changed my life, totally ! I listen to it before EVERY exam, tradition

Then, I got my Stevie steps : Rhiannon (I just fell in love with this song, and yeah, "Dreams unwind love's a state of mind" is one of her best lines EVER), Dreams !!!, Silver Springs, Gypsy, Sara ("there's a heartbeat and it never really dies" is also a great line, helped me through a lot of things)...
All those songs changed my life, and my love for Stevie

Gypsy....but, there are many more which would follow close behind.

I love Rhiannon for many reasons. Dani has a great grasp on some of those reasons. In fact, if I have a daughter, I'll be naming her Rhiannon.

I also love The Chain (even though it's not just Stevie).

But before I saw what Rhiannon looked like, the live versions that I heard without ever seeing Stevie, invoked that mystical feeling within me.

*nods vigorously*

definitely Rhiannon.
it's one of the only songs i remember playing on the radio when i was little
and i knew all the words. and when we'd get home, i'd make my mom leave the radio on and the car running til the song finished

i've always liked mystical things and witches coz my birthday is near halloween and the imagery i get of rhiannon is how i'd like to be. just blowing around in the wind rocking out

I think Rhiannon on the Dance changed me because it was the first song that really made me sit up and take notice of Stevie. She was just like nothing I had ever seen before, her music, her voice, her movements, her clothes and her general mystery. I really fell in love with that one-of-a-kind beauty and I just haven't been the same since.

More recently, and less Stevie-related, I Know I'm Not Wrong is having a big impact on me. It was my favourite song at the Dublin gigs and anytime I think of it, I just get deliriously happy. It's coming in very useful when college gets too stressful for me

I will be, too. My mom nearly massacred me when I told her that but its gonna happen, so she'll learn to deal.

I'd have to say that "Gypsy" and "Rhiannon" aren't far behind.

I agree..Sara is the most beautiful songs ever!

When Stevie revealed to me that the feeling can actually remain even AFTER the glitter has faded away, i never looked at my life the same ever again.

Serious answer later when I think about it.

Wow, this is serious. Thank God.

LOL! She will learn

When I told my mom, she loved the idea. In fact, I used Stevie's words and said something like.."Don't you think that Rhiannon is a beautiful name?"...lol.
Of course at the age of 31, I think my mom would be happy with about any name as long as she gets a grandchild!
I can picture a beautiful nursery with intricate lettering painted on the walls.."she rings like a bell through the night."...cool huh?

As cheezy as it sounds, Landslide still gets me through a ton on a regular basis. Anytime things aren't going great with my boyfriend I listen to that song, cry a little bit and clear my head. I love just laying in bed listening to that song.

Not cheesy at all! I have a new appreciation of that song every few years-- something about that time in my life revives it for me. The entire college application process already has me nostalgic, so "Landslide" has appeared on dozens of CDs I have burned since September.

Although Gypsy is my all time favorite it has to be Gold Dust Woman simply because that was the first song I ever heard of Fleetwood Mac on the radio in the car with my mom right around the 4th of July in 1977. I was 6 years old.

EnchantedKiwi · #28 11-28-2009, 06:11 AM

After the glitter fades was my mums favourite song of Stevie's and it was the first song I heard her sing, so i guess it "changed" my life

In my case, if I have a daughter her middle name will be Rhiannon. Sadly it was a compromise with my Fleetwood Mac-hating wife.

Of course like others here alot of songs are important & mean something.....each in there own right. One song that met alot to me at a difficult point in my life was:
Doing The Best That I Can....for various reasons it was a hard time in my life for me....so going to work I'd play that tape from Mirror alot & when this song came on it was very hard to listen too or even try to sing i I would cry alot)....the words mean alot to me even to this day.....when I was very angry the song : Long Way To Go meant alot too.....& so did Desert Angel.....even though I know people don't like DA for some reason.....I guess the words or some of them did with me.....sorry I did more than one song.....but anyway.....Doing The Best....will always matter to me because well....."she thought that she was out there....but noboby saw...I didn't win or lose....I just threw the cards....but I paid a price for it......"
We pay many a price for our choices....even not making a choice at all.....its still a choice......I've threw many a card.....its where they land thats what you deal with....the fall out.....its never easy.....but life goes on.....you make the best of a bad situation......so ....I think with some songs you kinda have to go through something like it or the pain to really understand were the song is coming from....but of course not totally......does this make sense?? Anyway.....it does matter......
