I am probably the last person on Earth to have noticed this, but I wager that Stevie had Poe's The Telltale Heart in mind (consciously or unconsciously) when she wrote this line. It fits with her trend of referencing Poe and other authors in other songs. I just had never before drawn the connection in the case of Dreams.

Stevie singing Dreams from 1977-2019. 42 years in 4 minutes.

That’s an entire bar that drills in its meaning in your brain. “Mad” in the bar immediately following is sung on a syncopated (off) rhythm, which keeps everything from sounding too robotic and unnatural. We don’t want to ignore the fact that there’s a real woman singing, feeling real desires. The best way in any art to keep something genuine and fresh is to add variation. “Dreams” has a lot of sophisticated, subtle tricks like that. Mick hits the hi-hat on the second syllable of “thun-der,” is another example that gives you a little crash of thunder at exactly the right moment. You don’t necessarily have to be fully aware of these subtleties; they work their way in through the back door after repeated listenings. It’s exactly what they mean when they say that some Fleetwood Mac songs hold up on repetition. You pick up more the second, third, and fourth time. That’s the true magic of Fleetwood’s orchestration: the arrangement and dynamics of all the individual tracks reward hearing the same song over and over. That could be why Rumours keeps selling.

Aretha’s death helped Respect.
Man, I am not a Beatles fan, but I just saw the picture of Paul and Ringo kissing through their masks and I cried. They were also with Olivia Harrison. My heart really is broken. I will never get over it. Everything that happens in music only makes me think of FM. I listen to a podcast examining whether Brian Jones was murdered and I think of FM. |

Loved seeing Dreams this high. Amazing song. Then I saw Nirvana higher and vomited. I am very surprised that Rhiannon did not make this list.

Deserving of a truckload of Ocean Spray. I have a similar appreciation of Sara, with the hypnotic rhythm line as the heartbeat in question.
