Dreams: The Greatest 2 Chord Song of All Time?
I love a bit of Rick Beato...great channel!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpqAz0ZNQaY Anyway, he picks out Dreams as one of the 3 greatest 2-chord songs of all time, along with Horse With No Name (America) and Something In The Way (Nirvana). Stripped back like this you can appreciate just how simple it really is.

“Feeling Alright” wasn’t in the top three?

Other great FM two-chord songs: Over My Head, Hold Me, Coming Your Way, Why, and Bad Loser.
There are others, but these come to mind. Why and Hold Me are especially impressive because their arrangements are so full and sophisticated that you don’t notice how basic (yet sound) their respective song structures really are. |

Even Dreams has more than 2 chords if you count all the clever little changes (or variations on the F/G movements with F7 and G6). Still, I’ve played OMH and Why and they’re essentially two chords—with one or two key switches in each (no I don’t count the intro to Why). Forgot about all the chords in Hold Me! Anyway, it was in that spirit that I listed these other songs. Last edited by aleuzzi; 02-05-2022 at 05:43 PM.. |

I looked at OMH, too. That song is suspended in D and D/G so much that when the brief but critical Em and A are sounded respectively it’s like the heavens have opened—or something. |

Saw this a few days ago... and was struck how NO ONE can really sing lead on this song but Stevie. She brought a magic to it with the fluidity of her voice (back in the 70s when it would go wherever she wanted it to, from low to high from raspy to beautifully clear). Other people just need to not sing it, because they suck at it (even if they're objectively good singers).
What he's playing on the guitar is what is clearly played on keys in live performances. You can really hear it in Benmont's playing on the Bella Donna concert audio. The Rumours production is still absolutely f&*&ing SUBLIME and I will love it til the day I die.

She formed a pact. She was a nun on the road. She always gave the band first pick of her songs. She never broke up Fleetwood Mac.

It's really true of all 3 of them. So hard to re-create what they do.

Ari Hest’s “Little Lies” is pretty damn cool—and it comes closest to a Rumours-era FM cover sounding authentic. |

Eva's is pretty at best. Christine's is authentic and full of pain.
