Last, but certainly not least, is our sister of the moon,
Stevie Nicks. She is pure
magic. I don’t have one favorite
Stevie song, but this one in particular has meant a lot to me for a long
time. She tells a story on this
tour about the meaning of the first couple of lines of the song – “So I’m back
to the Velvet Underground, back to the floor that I love, to a room with some
lace and paper flowers” – about being in a band with Lindsey when they were
kids, and a store in San Francisco called the Velvet Underground, where she had
a premonition of what her life would be.
And she tells us to never give up on our dreams.
We are often told to go after what we want because life is
short, and we may only get one shot.
But this is the 3rd time in the past couple of months that
I’ve heard someone say that life can actually be very long, and a life of regret
and a life of regret is torture because it seems to last forever. So don’t wait
anymore.
Here’s a video of the story and the song from a show in
Toronto earlier this year.
Stevie’s performance is really beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka8qmVvASnk
“To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little
fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love”
What a blessing it was to finally see them live. I am changed forever and
I’m so glad. Thanks for sharing
Fleetwood Mac Week with me!
