My description is maxed out to the number of characters you are allowed. So I will add this here. I was replying to some of the recent comments while listening to the Cleaning Lady version and these words kept popping into my mind. They refused to leave until I wrote them down. . All your dreams are waiting to come true. They are looking down on you right now as you ponder them. There is nothing they want more than to reach you. That intense, overpowering, impossible to describe feeling is them trying to communicate with you. They want to reach you just as bad as you want them to be reality here. But they will not come without burning desire. Desire that is impossible to express in words. The same desire you would have if someone held you underwater and you were dying. You would struggle with all your might and all your strength to break free of that hold. You would never give up until you broke free or you were dead. Unless you have that same burning desire it just will not work. That intensity, that emotion, that pain is sending a message to your dreams telling them you need them here. Close your eyes every day and visit that special place where your dreams exist. Look around and experience them in fine detail in that other place. Stay in that world for an hour every day. Envision yourself inside your dream. Experience your dream as clearly as if it was reality here. Use your mind's eyes instead of your physical eyes. Your dreams have their own life the very second your thought forms them. They DO exist somewhere else and carry on a life of their own. But they need your help to break through the barrier. Alas, most folks will never grasp this. Until you have that burning, painful, angry, all consuming desire as if you were being held underwater then it will never happen. The intense burning desire for something is what triggers your dream to begin it's journey toward you. That feeling is your dream telling you it is doing it's best to reach you as fast as possible. When you want your dream just as bad as you wanted air when held underwater then it will happen. Maybe not in 1 day or 1 year or even 5 years but I guarantee you one day it will happen. Some dreams are so big they take a little longer. Things will begin to happen that make you pause and wonder. New people and circumstances will strangely come into your life in the most unusual ways imaginable that are meant to advance you toward your dream. That burning desire turns you into a magnet for the things that are required for your dream to break through. . P.S. One week later 7.15.20. Again answering some comments tonight playing Tusk Sara as I type and this old memory I haven't thought of for years kept popping into my head for some reason and wanted to be written down also before it would leave. . Back in 82 or so I started my first business that gave me the freedom I always craved. Around summer 84 I was working my business down in Pacific Palisades by PCH and Sunset Blvd. That day I was walking/bus riding due to my only vehicle was in the shop. Anyhoos, at the end of the day I got tired of waiting for the Sunset bus back into Westwood so I decided to hitchhike. It took about 5 minutes and a sleek black mercedes 450 roadster pulled over. I told him where I was heading and I hopped in. As we drove twisty Sunset back to Westwood we got to talking. He asked me what I was doing out here in this rich ass neighborhood hitchhiking? I told him about my biz and my vehicle and I had just finished working all day. He took it all in, was silent for a moment and then begin to speak. He said he had a PhD in Chemistry and not too long ago he used to live in his van in a parking lot in Malibu. He said it was a simple life and life had thrown him a curve ball. However, he would often drive to the ocean at dusk, park there, and watch the sunset shimmer against the breaking waves. He knew he was a smart man. He knew he did not want to live in his van the rest of his life. He knew the women's cosmetics field was booming at the time. He said he spent the next 6 months in his van coming up with a new line of women's facial and hair care products. He came up with the original formulas in his mind and wrote them all down. He would look at those every day and said he knew it would be a success if he could just make the right connections. Long story short, he ended up meeting the right people, they bought the rights to his formulas, started manufacturing them and that very, very famous product line is still being sold today and he is paid royalties every month. He said he went from his van to his 450 roadster in two years. He told me anyone can do the same thing if they want. They just have to come up with one good idea and roll with it. As we pulled over at my place I got out of the car, shook his hand and thanked him for the ride and the inspirational story. I've never seen him since 84 but that conversation he had with me that afternoon has always stayed with me my entire life. 8.31.20 === This is the version I listened to over and over again since 1980 and this is the version I am listening to right now as I type the following paragraphs. Sara (Live 1980, St. Louis, MO) From the Fleetwood Mac Live Album ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nop8jW2hiVI.html It's funny you know, I was doing a few daily chores today and this story kept popping into my head and it also requested to be written down before it would leave. So here we go. Written for the 1% of the 1%. You know who you are. I first heard Sara in the fall of 1979. I fell in love with that song the first time I heard it. I can't even describe it. I bought the album on cassette and wore it out. A year later the FM Live album came out. I bought that also on the double cassette and I wore those out multiple times. I recorded Sara from FM Live multiple times on cassette so I did not have to keep rewinding every 7 minutes or so. I would just let the entire 30 minutes play then flip the cassette over. The year was 1980. When I listened to Sara (FM Live version) at work (had a job where I worked alone all night) my mind would wander to where I saw myself and my life heading and to the huge goal I had set for myself. At the time it seemed so at least. It was a business goal and a large financial goal all wrapped up into one big goal. Big, big goal. For someone making $21 hour in 1980 it was a gigantic, seemingly almost impossible goal. It seemed at times almost illogical but I knew what I wanted. Long before Stevie made it big I am sure she would envision herself onstage performing before a crowd of 50,000 screaming fans. Probably since she was around 14 or 15 or so. Most likely even earlier than that. It took Stevie a while to hit her stride. Her dream did not happen overnight or even within a year. It took a few years. To be honest, more than a decade. For her big dream, multiple decades. In 1975 Stevie turned 27 while achieving worldwide success with the album Fleetwood Mac. From Wiki: Nicks's mother was protective, keeping her at home "more than most people" and fostered in her daughter a love of fairy tales. Stevie had an overwhelming burning desire inner dream and so did I. I thought about my dream every day. I dreamed at night about it. I wrote down with a pen and paper every single day, 100 times, a simple 6 word sentence as if my dream was now a current reality. My thumb and middle finger developed small calluses due to my pen over the years. I can still feel a bit of them today 40 years later. Stevie's big dream came rather quickly. It took Stevie another 10 years after 1975 for her bigger dreams to come true. It has been a lifelong process for her. My big dream did not happen so fast. It took 40 years to arrive. But I knew it would come. I felt it every single day for 40 years. As I mentioned earlier my dream was business and financial related. I love to travel and I love the freedom that owning a business or several businesses gives you. It's not for everyone but since I was 3 or 4 I knew exactly how I wanted to live my life. I always wanted to march to the beat of my own drummer. Well, it took 40 years for that dream of mine to show up. It's a long time right? How many would have given up earlier? How many could exist for 40 years with that dream haunting their minds every single day? My dream was so big I had no idea how it would happen or even how I could make it happen. All I knew for 40 years was that my dream could happen and it would happen and it was already real somewhere but just not yet in this realm. Here is the whole point I have been leading up to for all you 1% of the 1%. Even though that business and financial goal dream took 40 years to finally arrive, it took just 7 more months after that arrival to double. In other words what took 40 years to arrive, only took another 7 months to do the same exact thing I was dreaming about for 40 years! Don't ask me how. I don't know how it works, but I do know it does work. And in the most mysterious ways you can ever imagine. “May you always know the power and beauty of imagination” --- Christine Brooks “The power of imagination makes us infinite.” --- John Muir “There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland.” --- L.M. Montgomery, The Story Girl
In the late 80s I was a security officer for a hotel on the big Island of Hawaii. One evening I was made aware Stevie and some of the band were in the hotel having dinner. Having been a big fan of hers and the band I hoped to at least see her. Later that evening I was making my rounds around the hotel parking area when a small van approached me , as it got closer the front passenger window was being rolled down, as it came to a stop next to me there was Stevie smiling at me. My heart was in my throat, there she was. all she wanted to say to me was hello and wished me a safe and pleasant evening, I said thank you very much and you too. She smiled and said bye. What a special memory for me to have of her. To me it says a lot about her and the others that they stopped and didn't just ignore me and drive past. This song is my favorite of hers and I have played it so many times before and since she stopped and said hello to me. I still see her in my minds eye when ever I listen to her sing this song. So special.

I’m a 48 year old long haul truck driver and I’ve listened to this song more times than I can say, with the windows down, through the desert or the plains or back east. Wherever I am when I hear it I cry
You are human first. Prob a dad of a daughter or maybe 5! I have a daughter 10 and son 8 & my custody battle has been 2 years long in court. All a mess. Stay that superstar to your girls. Its in you & drive safe
Oh Men. Im crying reading to your comment. Im not a truck driver but kind of. I did 10000 trip with my friend in car day or night. With only one reason to get outside. Take the car, Drive, open the Windows and listen to fleetWood mac, America... Im not a truck driver and i probably live thoushand miles from you but im sure were very close
my cat died on my lap on the way to the vet while this song was playing. my favorite song that randomly came on shuffle. it truly is a magical song for me now and I’m so lucky to have drowned in the sea of love of that little rescue tuxedo cat who I got to love from his age 3-10. Best seven years of my life. Rip Cooper. Mommy loves you so much and misses you everyday
When I was a young girl, I was introduced to FM. I instantly fell in love with Stevie. I vowed that if I had a daughter I would name her Sara because of this song. In 2003, I was blessed with the most beautiful baby girl. Her name is Sara Grace. She is the love of my life ❤️
There are those unable to gaze at a master's painting for hours in quiet inward reflection. To study the strokes, the use of colors and shadows, to envision what was going on in his or her mind while composing.
RIP Christine McVie. I can't believe the news I heard today. Thanks so much for your music. You will never know how much inspiration I took from your music. 👼🎹
Many people say a certain band is the best to them. But ever since 1975 my favorite bands have always been and will always be FM and the Eagles. I was just a kid (22) then and then and now I sing all their songs with them when I hear/ heard them. Saw both bands in KC in 1975 that was an unbelievable concert. Then just FM in Denver in 1982 I believe. Something about them. Incredible talent. Melodies and words capturing all emotions and dispensing it to the world. Im 71 now but I guess I’m still that 22 year old girl with platform shoes and tight jeans and rocking out to my two favorites, the Greatest Bands ever.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LO6uTKt5QyM.html The Eagles_Peaceful Easy Feeling_Live 1974 HD --- Let's hop in the time machine and go back to the summer of 1974. The landing spot, on a Harley late in the afternoon on a lonely North Texas 2 lane highway. The song playing in your mind, Peaceful Easy Feeling. Miles ahead of you and miles behind you that day. Your engine lopes along at 75 while all around you is nothing but farmland and cows. Then all of a sudden you notice someone walking next to the highway about 100 feet from the road. You slow down for a moment, glance over at the stranger for a moment, then keep on going since the stranger took no notice of you. As you accelerate away you ponder for a while what exactly is a person doing in the middle of nowhere walking all alone. The image sears forever into your mind and even 50 years later you recall it as if it happened yesterday and ponder 50 years later who was that person and what was he doing that day walking all alone in the middle of nowhere. The entire memory seared with the song Peaceful Easy Feeling playing with the thunder of two Harley twin cylinders reverberating in your mind. I still ride motorcycles and inside my mind I swear I'm barely a day over 19 but somehow my driver's license and the mirror beg to differ. But the driver's license and the mirror only reflect the temporary spacesuit I put on to visit this particular time and space, they do not reflect my soul. Peaceful Easy Feeling reflects my soul. What is it about tight windowpane jeans, loose revealing halter tops and long hair past the thighs that stirs up memories of a past that seem so real today that you could almost reach out and touch them with your hands. Memories forever etched in a mind that seems it is from another time and place. A time and place that once was but will never again be. December 1976 - The Eagles Hotel California is released. I can still remember exactly what I was doing, the name of my GF, what car I was driving, where I was and who I was with when I heard this song for the very first time. If I close my eyes it seems like only a year or two ago. BTW, one evening a long time ago in 1976 Dallas a group of us had just got off work around 3am and we were on the way to the old bowling alley near Love Field. As we pull up to a light "Flash" (our asst. manager) points out a "working girl" and says look at her shoes. Inside her platforms were live goldfish !!
I saw Fleetwood Mac in Japan while stationed there in the Navy 1978-1980... After military service I attended college in N.C...and saw Stevie on her Wild Heart Tour July 10, 1983 in the Greensboro Coliseum... During an encore, she bent forward to accept a single white rose from me...That moment in time seemed to last ten minutes and is forever embedded in my mind...
Me too. It was Mom's cleaning house music. I had that album memorized. I had tickets for my mom and I to see Stevie Nicks in concert, unfortunately my mother was too ill. I played Landslide at my mom's funeral. I don't know what Stevie's religion is, but I hope her voice is in heaven.
"Drowning in the sea of love.....where everyone would love to drown." One of the finest lines in contemporary music......made even finer when sung by the utterly beautiful and mesmerising voice of its composer.
@@ponchoman49 Yes what the hell happened? SEEMS like yesterday I was just enjoying a cool drink at one of the many clubs where everyone seemed to be friends. Memories of this time in my life are my only salvation from the shit show we endure now!
This song knocks my soul to its knees. Every single time I listen to it. I’m an old man now, but Stevie has been in my mind, my heart, and my soul for the last 50 years. Thank God.
Heard this song in the late 70's while in college. I could never forget it. It is incredible. Haunting. I can listen to this everyday. She is an amazing song writer and singer.
I dated a gal who was a very close friend of Stevie's back in 79-80. Stevie was very involved at the time with Don Henley. She was in a hotel suite with him and a piano and a cassette recorder testing out several songs (some never officially recorded) one of which was a version of Leather and Lace with Don and just an acoustic guitar. It was unbelievably intimate and far superior to the album version. She gave the cassette to my gal friend who gave it to me. I still have it and only perhaps 3 people ever heard the amazing sounds on it. So I can relate to rare.
She was so adorable and has that "IT" factor, just like the rest of the band. Not only is her voice and lyrics haunting, but Lyndsey's music is always perfect to set the mood to a song. They're all musical geniuses in that band.
Wow what a gorgeous rendition of Sara. I love Stevie Nicks so much. What an interesting tone of voice and vibrato... she’s like an angelic baby lamb ❣️🙏💥
Literally my favorite song of all time. The original release, at the end when she hauntingly sings, “All I ever wanted… Was to know you were dreaming… “ Those are her words - her feelings, describing the tragic loss she endured… losing her baby. 😥 Beautiful song with so much emotion from her.
check out the live version from melbourne australia from the tusk tour. that line is AMAZING in that version. "all i ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming, Sara"
I found Stevie in 1981, and knew this woman is someone I wanted for an older sister! I was 18, she was 33....now we are 60 and 75, and my life is richer because of her. I love not only her, but her family, her dad was the best, always provided for the family, and mom was the best in raising Stevie and Chris. Oh how I wish I could have met her parents, I'm a total supporter for family, and hers was wonderful. I will love Stevie for all Eternity...
I like to think that Stevie uses a pen name while traversing YT and somewhere mixed amongst all these comments she may have left her footprint but certainly has left her kind thoughts about all her fans and all the lives she has touched.
I have been a fan of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac for over five decades. Fleetwood Mac are up there with the GREATEST EVER. Old fellow now...........BUT I have been BLESSED to experience so much great music in my time on this planet. Stevie has a SPECIAL talent! 🤔🇬🇧
Just recently discovered Stevie? Oh my, you have missed so much. I have been listening to her since 1973. So, let me share a very rare jewel. Stevie's FIRST album PRE-Fleetwood Mac. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E1kHeix-55c.html&ab_channel=M%C3%BAsicaLivre
This is my most favorite Stevie Nicks Song I Had a friend in high school her name was Sara she was a beautiful girl I actually had a crush on her she tragically Died in a car accident when she was 16 many many moons ago Every time I hear this song I think of Sara I am sure she is A beautiful angel enjoying the afterlife.
@spirals 73 you are so right.AND SO AM I.Its not my fault she wrote it about her aborted child.If you have a problem with truth,well,I guess you fit right in to the world today because most people have an issue handling truth.
Same here. I had a crush too on a Sara in high school. If I close my eyes it's as if she is sitting next to me right now. She passed away too young in her early 20's from cancer. As I write this it seems that for a moment in time I am transported back to when I was 16 years old to be allowed to relive a moment again.
Whatever it is about this song that captivates people, there is no question that its effects are powerful. It is one of my favourites among many by this incredible group.
Stevie hit most of us when she sang in the beginning of Fleetwood Mac. She wrote so many great songs. Her voice and story telling is so great. She is so beautiful to boot. Love her fashion. I love that she seems like a very nice person. She gets it and she is "it".
hi Cindi. The beginning of Fleetwood Mac was long before Stevie Nicks joined. There are several iterations of FM - the common element being the superb rhythm section - Mick Fleetwood and John McVie (Mac). They were formed in London by the great guitarist and vocalist Peter Green in the late 60s as an all male blues band. Green wrote the song Black Magic Woman which Santana made famous. Then a coupla years later, Green left and Christine McVie (John's wife) joined, ushering in a totally new and lovely sound. Christine's beautiful compositions, piano and voice created hits like Say You Love Me. Then Bob Welch joined, becoming lead singer and guitarist contributing hits like Sentimental Lady. Bob moved the band from London to LA, then left to go solo... and that's when Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham joined ushering in the most successful stage of this storied band.
For me is the most beautiful woman! Not only her, but her voice!! Whenever I feel depressed I just play her music...her voice is calms me down, I clean houses like she use to do, I wish I could clean hers some day!!! Love you Stieve!❤❤❤❤
She was and still is one of the most stunningly beautiful ladies in the world, her voice cannot be touched, followed her and Fleetwood Mac since the start, mesmorised.
I'm 59 and have loved Fleetwood Mac as far back as I can remember -- this is one of my favorites and I absolutely love this extended version. . I always get choked up listening to it. Stevie Nicks is the best.
My allo time favorte song by Ms. Nicks. I dont' care if this song is 24 hours long, I can listen to it for hours, days, and weeks. Her vocals and lyrics hypnotize me.
The Year 1977, i was a soldier and lost my Girlfriends. In this Time, i buy the LP "Rumours". My Girl don't come back, but i had my old Fleetwood Mac LP and i love it. When i play it by a Glas with red wine, i think for the best time in my live with my nice Girl. The Voice of Stevie Nicks and Feetwood Mac are so great for Heart Times 💞
Boy can I relate as to this song being haunting and compelling and there is just something about it that draws me right in and takes me back to a simpler better time.
Loved Stevie Nicks singing over many years .was thrilled to see her live in Palm Springs in January on my trip from Ireland .She sounds just as good Live .At my age (84) it was a memorable trip and experience.
Oh my goodness, Ireland is one of the places I have always dreamed of visiting since I was a wee one. Dublin, the west coast and the northern coast. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Palm Springs. January was a good month. In August it is a furnace there.
True but stevie had great range and could be loud too, she used to sing in whistle register in early gold dust woman lives and had a very powerful voice
@@nomadic1932 She didn't have great range, not even close. It's her poor range that kept their songs so simple and repetitive, 2 or 3 chords over and over. This version of this song is about 8 minutes too long, I stopped it at 8:35, it was getting painful.
I am 61 now. It can be hard for me to listen to Sara for the simple reason it came out soooo long ago and soooo much time has passed. Trying to get my brain around that fact sometimes is very, very daunting since I can remember certain things as if they were yesterday. One of those things is this song. It came out when I was in High School and my mom was leaving Las Vegas where we were living, I was graduating High School and had no idea what I was gonna do. My next door neighbor was a pot head. He gave me a joint (my very first one of only maybe a whole 7 or 8 in my entire life) and one of the few things left in the apartment was a stereo. I smoked that joint, put on the stereo, laid on the floor, put the speakers next to each ear with my head on a pillow. And SARA came on just BLEW MY MIND!!! LOL! It was as if I was transported away. It was so ethereal, so mystical and so MAJESTIC! It is by far my favorite Stevie song (with Silver Spring and Landslide right behind it!) I went on to join the Air Force and am fortunate to still chat with a close friend after 42 years! And he and I love, love, love Stevie! We pour over all of hers and Fleetwood Mac songs and even try to imagine being in the studio with them when they recorded songs like "The Chain" with all of that emotional baggage getting put into such a classic song! It's great that someone took the time to put the long long version on! Although I have been told there is a 16 minute demo of this out there too! (Is that the famous "I don't want to be a cleaning lady" one??) Love to all who still listen and admire this great work from her!!
Thanks for your memories John. Does the same to me. I can put it on and new memories long forgotten flood to the surface. I'm not sure if it's the Cleaning Lady version or not. No one except a few have ever heard the 16 minute version. The story goes Stevie has it (16 minute version) locked away in her private collection. Some say it was floating around the net 20 years ago but I have yet to run across it. Still looking for it. It's like a lifelong search for El Dorado.
I'm 61 too and I get what you mean about it being hard to listen to songs from our youth. It just reminds you that so much of your life has gone but every day is a new adventure and you should look forward to each and every one. Stevie has always been a constant in my life and at 75 and still totally amazing she is a true inspiration. I had major spinal surgery when I was 17 and was in a full body cast for a year. I could only wear baggy dresses and someone gave me a long black cheeaecloth gipsy dress whuch I loved and it was the one thing that made me feel feminine so I topped it with a long black lace shawl and that was the style I adopted for the rest of my life. When I first saw Stevie Nicks I was totally captivated as I saw a lot of me in her and felt she was a kindred spirit. Sadly never seen her live though. 😢
@@anjizetland-von-kiesel3346 So sorry you never saw her live! I was fortunate that I saw her three times (all solo, not with Fleetwood). I was disappointed she did not play Sara (gosh knows I was screaming it!). On one of the shows, it was in Tucson, late 80's and it was a small venue (I think it was between albums and her and Fleetwood were kinda growing apart and not as famous?) and I got 2nd row seats! Well, she does "Edge of 17" and in the middle of the guitar solo, she goes to the front of the stage to shake/touch peoples hands. There was a huge push and I tried with all my strength to get to that stage but kept getting shunted to the right. As she went from the left to right she's touching everyone's hands and I kept pushing up. Just when I thought she would leave she went a few feet more and I managed to get my hand up and she touched it! So that was my "brush" with Stevie Nicks! I was on cloud nine for DAYS!! LOL!!
@@johngreener9784 I live in the UK so she hasn't toured as much here as in the US and any time FM have played in the UK I havs never been able to go for some reason. I always wanted to aee FM with the Rumours line up but sadly that will never happen now. You are one lucky guy. I bet you didn't wash your hand for weeks. LOL
Stevie nicks you are the greatest I love you Stevie keep on rocking baby girl and Christine you were a music legend Rip love you 🎵🎸🎵🎶🎸🎶🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎶🎵🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yah, it's amazing, at the time you don't realize you are watching history being made. December 5th 1979 at The Coliseum in Inglewood California rocked my world forever. Not to mention hearing and watching Stevie sing Sara live.
I heard them in Detroit and have never been the same , I will be 72 in September and would not trade my life experiences for anything. Music was at it's peak in the late 60's and 70's . @@LaVidaLocaHomie
Yes true art will never die even after the artist passes on,but Stevie keeps pushing on....like the lovely Welsh Witch.....love you,my inspirational poet songstress fashionista ........yes I loved the butterfly emojis. She's like a butterfly to me,to me as well. Free,& gorgeous & rare.
I bought so many clothes like this . I paid for vintage and some at the thrift store. you are my inspiration Steve and have been since I was 10, so 44 years, . I love you girl, this song got me through a very poor decision i made. I know I am forgivin and my Sara awaits me., xoxo ty sis ty fir the decades of music, you have always been my fave since1977 and I know I am in your top 10 fans, I love your solo stuff best. xoxo Deb
Such a Treasure Trove of beautiful pictures of the Queen of Hearts and her Love songs really tug at a person's heart unless they are Dead~!!! Thanks for putting this together for us Stevie Fans to enjoy~!
It's " the Heartbeat that Never Really Dies" ! I too have been "haunted' by this Most Beautiful masterpiece since 1979, I turned on the radio.... and there it was played. Immediately, I bought the 2 record set of "Tusk". I still listen to "Sara" and I still "Dream when the Winds are Crazy and reach out to touch Me ! (like now with this Covid-19 pandemic). Who wouldn't want to drown in the "Sea of Love"......Could You Speak a little Louder ? Swallow Your Pride !
In my view Stevie's true gift is not a desire to impress her audience but rather connect with others in the deepest way possible. Thank you for sharing this gift.
Same story as me as well. 5 years now for me being crippled at age 47. She and the whole original band is therapy for me. Never got to see a show though
It has that effect. I'd love to explain it but there are no words in English available. In other words, Sara is so far beyond ordinary words that it is impossible to compress the melody and the lyrics down into mere words. It becomes alive deep within when you feel it.
I’ve listened to Sara on loop for hours at a time. It takes me to a calm positive world. It’s like being on really good ecstasy without losing control of my jaw.
Sung with heart shredding feeling, Have loved this song and the woman behind it since 1977 when I first discovered the 2nd incarnation of FLEETWOOD MAC, I have carried the same love of her and this song ever since and will never tier of the sheer beauty it delivers.
Love this version thank you .. there is a live in concert version (1983) where she sings Sara so soft and keeps the vibrato going .. it was hauntingly perfect.
@@aethermaster3238 Yes, Sara is on Tusk but not a 16 minute version. I've heard so many rumors about the 16 minute version over the years. That it was the original Sara that Stevie wrote that contained many more verses but for whatever reasons was never released to the public. Some say Stevie keeps the recording locked away and others say some versions have been released to her close friends.
@@LaVidaLocaHomie interesting... I only heard rumors of 16min version with extra lyrics. I guess it's out there. I'm subbed so if u ever come across it, please share it. Would love to hear these extra verses. Stevie is mysterious and a genius. If she did this with this track, imagine she could have done it with other tracks.
Music is powerful. Some of my earliest embedded memories date back to when I was 3 years old and seem to be associated with certain songs that were playing on the radio rotation at the time. When I hear them there is instant time transport.
I agree. When I am alone I can close my eyes, go back in time to the month and year of the song and relive so many details of my life at that time. In my mind it is so real, in fact it's so real it seems more real than the physical reality I live in daily. It's like my own time machine. I learned self hypnosis as a child and the state is similar to a deep hypnosis state where you can remember and see details you forgot years and years ago.
When I was around 2 years old, my mom said I cried every time she played "Mrs Jones" and as an adult I can't figure out why the song affected me so much. I get a sad "vibe" every time I hear this song too. Music is more powerful than we'd like to think for sure.
I'm a 72-year-old woman & I've loved Fleetwood Mac for a very long time. I'd like to say Stevie is an elegant woman & I might even say "sexy." She's got style, panache, & beauty. I've read some of the comments here & I feel the same way.
Truely classic beautiful ..don't we all want and yearn to drown in the sea of love ..loved you guys since I was a little kid ..heard you on a Brisbane am radio station on 4kq...I miss the early 80's ..miss a lot of family ..I miss my youth ..thank you for giving an inclination towards sweet supple music deep and sincere👍♥️3 times prior to meeting in 2017.is it to be again ? And no faults both renewed and repaired?
On those days there was love and passion and souls, and people loving people...this song this voice, this woman is all a complete universal sentiment where we all can dwell our heart and more of that think, we all love.
This is why I have always fell in love with Stevie!! Voice, Face, and body. I love all these very rare photos and long extended version of one of my favorite Stevie's songs.
