Why Fleetwood Mac's song ‘Silver Springs’ is going viral on TikTok
It's been more than 25 years since the Grammy-nominated song made a splash, but it's back again, thanks to a hit show.

Fleetwood Mac is Fleetwood back.

The band’s song “Silver Springs” is enjoying a moment right now, thanks to the Prime Video series “Daisy Jones & the Six.” Chances are pretty good that your TikTok feed is chock full of clips connected to the song.

So, why exactly does this tune have such a hold on us now? Let’s explain.


Based on the novel of the same name by Taylor Jenkins Reid, “Daisy Jones and the Six” revolves around the rise and fall of an immensely popular (and fictional) 1970s rock group.

A vital storyline in the show focuses on lead singer Daisy (played by Riley Keough) and married bandmate Billy Dunne (played by Sam Claflin) having a relationship that charges their music, in similar fashion to the romance between Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

The resemblance is not a coincidence: author Reid has been open about her bestseller's inspiration. “I started with the germ of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac,” Reid told Penguin Books UK in 2019.

Nicks and Buckingham's relationship, and its ending, also inspired "Silver Springs." Written by Nicks, “Silver Springs” was intended to appear on Fleetwood Mac’s landmark 1977 album, “Rumours,” but didn’t make the cut.

Nicks and Buckingham perform "Silver Springs" (left), while Sam Claflin and Riley Keough heat things up in "Daisy Jones and the Six" (right).

When approaching "Daisy Jones," which is structured like an oral history, Reid said she began by listening to Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours."

“I started with listening to ‘Rumours.’ That was the beginning of it for me because it’s an album, but … it’s also a soap opera,” she said.

"Rumours" is a meta album, with songs informed by the actual bandmates' romances and affairs. When Buckingham and Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in late 1974, they had been a couple for years and had released an album together.

During the creation of "Rumours," their relationship ended, and their feelings bled into the lyrics. The exes decided to remain colleagues to keep the band together.

"We’d only been in Fleetwood Mac for a year and a half, and we were breaking up when we joined Fleetwood Mac,” Nicks told The New Yorker. “So we just put our relationship kind of back together, because I was smart enough to know that, if we had broken up the second month of being in Fleetwood Mac, it would have blown the whole thing.”

“Silver Springs” would ultimately appear as a B-side to the band’s monster hit “Go Your Own Way,” which did appear on “Rumours” and which Buckingham himself wrote about his breakup with Nicks.

“Silver Springs” ultimately found new life in 1997 when Nicks and Buckingham performed it with Fleetwood Mac for the band's live album “The Dance.”

Nicks did not shy away about her goal for the song, which has lyrics like: “I’ll follow you down ‘til the sound of my voice will haunt you / You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you."

"I'm so angry with you. You will listen to me on the radio for the rest of your life, and it will bug you. I hope it bugs you," she told the Arizona Republic in 1997 about why she wrote the song.

Fast forward another two-plus decades, and a video of that 1997 performance has now captured the imagination of people on TikTok. Viewers are especially focusing on a moment in the video in which Nicks and Buckingham fiercely lock eyes and sing.

"Excuse me while I go into a DEEP DIVE all about this," one creator captioned a video in which she explains the backstory of the song, calling it "HBO level drama."

“I think about this daily as I obsess over this masterpiece,” one fan captioned a clip of the performance.

“You’ll never get away,” someone captioned a montage of moments from “Daisy Jones and the Six” set to “Silver Springs.”

Even Buckingham has gotten in on the crossover moment.

“I heard we’re talking about that ’97 ‘Silver Springs’ again,” he captioned a clip of the video on TikTok.

“Yes we are,” Keough commented.

After it resurfaced in 1997, “Silver Springs” wound up getting nominated for a Grammy for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocal.

The song “Regret Me” from “Daisy Jones & the Six” is the show’s version of “Silver Springs.”

“It’s not lyrically based on 'Silver Springs' at all, and it wouldn’t sound anything like it, but that concept of a woman’s right to be angry is absolutely based on Stevie Nicks singing ‘Silver Springs’ at Lindsey Buckingham during their reunion (album and) show, 'The Dance' (in 1997),” Reid told The Guardian in 2019.

The renewed interest in that 1997 performance has even opened the eyes of “Daisy Jones & the Six” stars.

“It’s so electric, the chemistry between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, knowing what Fleetwood Mac had been through in that moment and knowing the history behind it, and the history behind them as a couple and relationship and as a band,” Claflin told MTV.

“It just carries so much more weight to it.”

The Independent
Lindsey Buckingham trolls fans by sharing his guitar solo from Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Silver Springs’ performance

Wed, Mar 22, 2023

Lindsey Buckingham has shared a clip of his guitar solo from the 1997 performance of Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs” on TikTok.

The clip shows the 73-year-old musician playing his guitar solo right before Stevie Nicks sings to him.

“I hear we’re talking about that ‘97 Silver Springs’ again...” Buckingham captioned the post in response to the viral clips of the Burbank concert that have been doing rounds on social media ever since Amazon Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six was released on 3 March.

Daisy Jones & The Six follows the story of a band formed in the 1970s.

It comes from a novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid about the rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their lead singer, revealing the mystery behind their infamous breakup.

Reid said she was partly inspired to write the book after watching performances of Fleetwood Mac on TV.

Nicks wrote “Silver Springs” about the end of her romantic relationship with Buckingham. She originally intended it to appear on the 1977 album Rumours but the track was removed by Mick Fleetwood.

This week, Buckingham decided to troll fans by posting a clip of the iconic performance on TikTok with many people responding in the comments section saying: “He knows well and good that is not the part we’re talking about.”

Another person added: “Ahhhh. leaving in the solo but cutting off before the bridge when Stevie stares a hole right through your soul.”

One fan wrote: “It’s not this part we’re talking about, Mr Buckingham.”

In an MTV interview in 1997, Nicks said she was very upset when “Silver Springs” was removed from Rumours as she wanted to let Buckingham know how “angry” she is with him through the song.

“I’m so angry with you,” Nicks said at the time. “You will listen to me on the radio for the rest of your life, and it will bug you. I hope it bugs you.”

In a 2009 interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks also said the motive behind “Silver Springs” was to inflict the same pain on Buckingham as she was feeling.

She said: “It was me realising that Lindsey was going to haunt me for the rest of my life, and he has.”

You gotta find it amusing, if LB read his own social media he would probably call Elvis' granddaughter rushing to see his tiktok and commenting on it circular - knowing how much Elvis music influenced LB growing up, it's pretty much literally as circular as it gets!

Riley Keough Was Born in the Spotlight. Now She’s There on Her Own Terms
Keough speaks to Vanity Fair about reclaiming her “intense” childhood and working through tragedy to make Daisy Jones & the Six.

BY SAVANNAH WALSH

MARCH 24, 2023
There’s something amusingly meta about watching Riley Keough watch a Fleetwood Mac performance. The real band’s influence on Daisy Jones & the Six, in which she stars as the titular Stevie Nicks–esque singer, has been well-documented. But Keough was surprised to learn that one of the group’s original members has, in fact, acknowledged her series.

The day before our Zoom call, Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham—whose relationship with Nicks inspired the characters of Daisy and Billy Dunne (played by Sam Claflin)—posted a TikTok alluding to renewed chatter about their breakup. Buckingham posted a clip from a 1997 performance of “Silver Springs,” a searing kiss-off song Nicks wrote about Buckingham. “I heard we’re talking about that ’97 ‘Silver Springs’ again,” he wrote.

When I alert Keough to this all-important development, she immediately pulls the video up on her laptop. “I need to see this right now,” she says. “I’m wasting our interview because I need to see if this is fake news.” Keough watches the TikTok with delight, smiling in a dazed way before commenting beneath the video with three simple words: “Yes we are.”

The fact that Buckingham felt the need to give Daisy Jones a nod is proof of the show’s impressive reach. Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel, the Prime Video series has hit number one on the streamer; its accompanying album, Aurora, featuring the cast singing fictional ’70s hits, peaked at number one in the US on iTunes. It’s undeniably the biggest role of Keough’s career thus far—and a moment that she’s referred to as “cosmic.” But stepping into a spotlight that she’s tried to shirk most of her life took a concerted effort, Keough tells me.

The 33-year-old actor is the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley. By the time she reached high school, she had called both Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage stepfathers. “I grew up with a family that was very much in the public eye, and my childhood was really intense in that way, especially in the ’90s and early 2000s,” Keough says. “It was probably similar to what the Kardashian kids experience now—not being able to go out the front of buildings and having to sneak around and not being able to do…” She trails off. “Just a lot of attention, not being able to do normal things. I really started to appreciate normal things in life—being able to go to the coffee shop and sit there.”

As an adult, Keough has largely evaded the nepo-baby conversation (and dissection of her personal life) by acting in indie projects, including American Honey and Zola. (One of the glaring exceptions is 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, through which she met her Australian stuntman husband, Ben Smith-Petersen. The two now share a newborn daughter.) “I didn’t actively make choices that were obviously going to change my life,” she says. “I was always trying to navigate how I can perform and also have this thing that’s really special to me, which is being able to do normal things in the world. Subconsciously I was always operating this way, avoiding things that felt…I don’t know, that would change that for my life.”

Daisy, with its built-in fan base and tangential ties to her musical pedigree, seems like it would have totally derailed the plan. But in the last five years, Keough says, she gave herself freedom to say yes. “I did know that Daisy Jones was going to be a big show. I just stopped caring as much about the outcome,” she explains. “Ultimately, it was just something that in my soul I felt like I needed to do. I also felt like I wanted to do something that would bring joy to my life. I’ve been through a lot in life prior to Daisy, and I just wanted to be in a space at work that felt like fun and not heavy, and dark, and serious. And the environment of that show was all of those things.”

Embracing Daisy also meant learning to sing and play instruments, which the cast did via virtual band camp during a pandemic-induced delay. The fruits of Keough and the cast’s labor are on full display in the season finale, where Daisy Jones & the Six perform their final concert in Chicago. Wearing a vintage gold Halston cape, an homage to Fleetwood Mac’s “Gold Dust Woman,” Keough’s Daisy sings like she knows it’s the last time. These live performances were filmed over a week of overnight shoots in New Orleans, where Keough and her cohort would sing until the sun rose. “It was totally chaotic, but it was the moment we’d all been waiting for,” she says, adding, “There wasn’t a part of us that felt like we were actors anymore.”

Keough’s emotionally charged performance includes loads of heated glances at Claflin’s Billy. At one point in the finale, a newly relapsed Billy tells Daisy that they can “be broken together” because his wife, Camila (Camila Morrone), has left him. But after 10 episodes’ worth of self-destructive behavior, Daisy declares, “I don’t want to be broken”—a moment of agency not afforded to the character in Reid’s book.

“She just very simply doesn’t want this for herself anymore—especially not this way, not the way that he’s coming to her. It’s not that version of Billy that she’s in love with. She’s in love with all of Billy, but she’s mostly been around him sober,” Keough explains. “So seeing that this is what she’s bringing out of him doesn’t feel good to her. It’s a moment of power for her to go, I’m going to walk away from this.”

Daisy’s substance abuse, which Keough has said she approached with particular sensitivity “because this is something I’ve experienced in my family,” is exacerbated by both her untenable dynamic with Billy and the crippling lack of love she’s received from her mother.

Motherhood is a major preoccupation for Daisy across the final episodes. She wards off having children for fear of inflicting the kind of trauma Daisy experienced upon them. Then, after a crushing phone call with her absentee mother in the finale, Daisy shouts, “Next time you wanna hear my voice, how ’bout you try the ****ing radio.”

“I didn’t experience it personally, but I’ve seen [that mother-daughter dynamic] with a few people in my life. And it’s totally heartbreaking,” Keough says. “Some people are lucky to have mothers that are very nurturing and loving, and some people aren’t. That is a place of great wound, when either parent isn’t showing up in the way that the child wants them to. It is supposed to be the one person who loves you no matter what. And so when you don’t experience that, I could see how that could turn into, Well, I’m not lovable because the one person who’s supposed to love me more than anything in the world doesn’t. Not to say I don’t think her mom ever loved her, but it’s a very complicated relationship and woman.”

Hearing her speak on the subject, one is inevitably reminded of the fact that Keough suddenly lost her own mother, just before Daisy Jones press began in February. Priscilla Presley, Keough’s grandmother, has since filed documents challenging the “authenticity and validity” of her daughter’s 2016 trust amendment naming Keough and her younger brother, Benjamin, who has since died, as cotrustees, as reported by The New York Times and other outlets. The actor has yet to publicly comment on the matter.

Keough’s Daisy Jones experience also began with a major loss. Benjamin died by suicide at age 27 in July 2020, just as she began musical training. “I had just lost my brother, and I went right back to work. So it was really a lot, emotionally,” Keough says. “The schedule on Daisy was crazy. We shot for nine months or something out of COVID. So it was very rigorous physically and emotionally on top of coping with the loss of my brother. And then I have Lyme disease, so I had autoimmune stuff happening where I was just feeling really sick at the time. So it was really challenging in a lot of ways.”

Keough credits the support of her cast and the escape of playing music with keeping her upright. “[The show] came to me for a reason in that moment. The joy of our friendships and of getting to go to work every day and play songs was super necessary for me in my life at that time,” she says. “I was struggling a bit, but it was ultimately a very special moment in my life. And I think that it will definitely be a highlight of my life, for sure.”

Now, a somehow visibly calm Keough is trying to soak in the success while preserving her own peace. She’s seen all of the show, but doesn’t dwell on her own performance. “I don’t go back in and analyze because it’s just too much. I’m very neurotic and I have to just let it go,” she says. As for bidding farewell to her castmates, Keough hints there may be more Daisy Jones to come in some capacity. “I don’t think it’s going to be a goodbye,” she says. “We’re still going to have moments to get together for the rest of the year.”

At the end of the series, Daisy Jones walks away from the band that built her career in pursuit of a peaceful existence—and one in which she can still make music. Given that Keough has had to play the character during a particularly consequential period in her life, I ask if she thinks art thrives better in turmoil or tranquility. “I think that both are true. You can make art when you’re tormented, and you can make art when you’re peaceful. Art is coming from a place that’s very spiritual, and I don’t think that there’s one way to get there,” she says.

“I’ve made art when I’m upset, and I’ve made art when I’m really happy. And I don’t personally see the difference in quality. There’s definitely a long period of time where poets and songwriters were just heartbroken.” Then Keough says something that sounds straight from a Daisy Jones confessional: “There’s no one truth in anything in life, and particularly not in art.”
