I came here because Stevie Nicks is my Goddess and has always been. Her voice moves mountains and makes a landslide, her vocal pallette of colors is so vast it makes the vibrant colors we know today look so opaque and plain. This woman has saved my life two times without even knowing it - as an addict of 3 years and with no help from any source, Stevie Nicks gave me hope to wake up another day. The songs that were once sad songs to me, are now a voice of inspiration to carry on for my entire life. I'll never forget the day I felt my lungs sink into my chest, and like I had promised my family it would never happen, the fate of an addict was facing me. And in this moment, Stevie Nicks' Rhiannon came on. My heart began to kickstart, the music was making my body relax and I was able to get help before losing conciousness. If it wasn't for this song, I wouldn't be here. I lay my life on the line for music, but I couldn't let myself rest if I never knew such a beautiful voice of woman such as her. Thank you Stevie for sparking the fire of my soul again- I will never forget the words you've so beautifully spoken through your music.
This resonates in my whole soul, Ive never heard this version despite being named after the song. God Stevie is so powerful, and the intro is exactly how I would imagine her to be in person. What a radiant woman
Stevie: Richard? I finished this song. But we have to go to a park and record the sound of birds rising. It’s really important. The sound of…birds rising. You know, the rustling. Okay. Lindsey? Don’t you think that ‘Rhiannon’ is a beautiful name? Yes, Stevie, I do. I think ‘Rhiannon’ is a beautiful name. She rings like a bell through the night Wouldn’t you love to love her She rules her life Like a bird in flight Who will be her lover All your life you’ve never seen a woman Taken by the wind Rhiannon, you cry But she’s gone And your life knows no end Your life knows no end She rings life a bell through the night She is like a cat in the dark Once in a million years A lady like her rises Rhiannon, you cry And your life knows no answer Your life knows no answer Dreams unwind Love’s a state of mind Love is a state of mind Dream on Dreamer Try hard You can’t leave her Dream on Silly dreamer Try hard You can’t leave her Leave her Leave her Rhiannon… Rhiannon Rhiannon Rhiannon Rhiannon… Ooh…. She rings Like a bell through the night, and Wouldn’t you love to love her Wouldn’t you love to love her Wouldn’t you love to…love her… Ooh…
Breana Shiane yup big fan since i was 15... gonna be 23 in a few months. discovered fleetwood mac from an old cassette tape my dad had and ever since then i can't go a day without her beautiful voice❤
dang guys posted this over 6 years ago... so glad you guys enjoy this version! i didn't think many would watch this vid but i was sooo wrong! stevie is pure magic❤
This is an incredible version, the most powerful and deep, one of her old live versions is excellent as well, but this is the way she wanted to sing it, slow & meaningful. Doesn't she sound so sad when she is talking at the start of the song?
"Lindsay... don't you think that Rhiannon is a beautiful name?" That line rips into my heart because she says it so beautifully and makes me think of their love affair. It sounds as if she's pregnant and asking him if that's a good name for their child. There's something so tender and poignant about that line. So very sad. So much wasted potential due to her heavy cocaine use. And yet, at the same time, I think much of her genius and creativity was probably magnified by the cocaine use and that we wouldn't have all the Stevie Nicks gems we do without it.
how can you go on about wasted potential when talking about one of the greatest singer song writers of all time. everything would have been different without it, there might have never been fleetwood mac
This is the best song in the whole world. My name is Stevie. I wanted a daughter named Rhiannon because I've always felt some weird soul connection to Stevie Nicks (maybe cause our names are the same). But my husband said no to Rhiannon. But maybe a Misty...
Rhiannon is a beautiful name for the character in the song but because it will always be associated with the song it is better left on a music score than to give it to a child that would have to live with it and all it would entail. I feel sometimes when we attach a peculiar or famous name to a child we unknowingly at the time add an extra burden on them.
She's so beautiful. "Tell her you can't leave her " to Lindsey She was crying out to him. She is a beautiful woman ... I cried alot when I figured this out Be a strong woman any way.
Here, Her voice & music feel like someone giving u a deep massage… and feels like u have entered the portals of heaven…and hell. One of the greatest vocal stylist and song writers of any generation…her music is timeless, and very few reach that pinnacle of supreme craftsmanship and authenticity..it is my opinion that she WAS Fleetwood Mac..
A song by a beautiful woman Stevie nicks and whoever the lover is and love of whoever Rhiannon is? God bless her heal her And Stevie for her talent and love... beautiful would not we all want to be young and beautiful again..
Omg this must have been recorded before her drug abuse in the 70s. Ive never heard her voice so smooth and light before like this. in her other rhiannon performances her voice is distinctive and different. not saying its bad but this is better
I love the innocent Stevie in her angelic song. She sings her Rhiannon. Diana my sis and infant Brian murdered . Therese M ay. We may all have a Rhiannon in our lives they cry outback justice as we cry out. Stevie you aren't a gypsy. Your Rhiannon lives on her life and ours. We run.. we will have an answer in eternity. Rhiannon will be there. You can't leave her . Rhiannon is three waiting.. Rhianna She's Waiting with love to be loved again for those who ran.
I love this song so much. I don't know what it is about this song. The lyrics, Stevie, the name Rhiannon itself? Maybe all of it. I love singing this even though I don't think my voice is that great. 😂
Russkiy Deutsch i've heard this song is about her and joe walsh from the eagles because they had a thing but it ended when he decided she was too "free spirited" for him to handle
@@breanashiane6172 Joe Walsh and Stevie didn't have a thing until WAAYYY after this was recorded lol. She wrote Rhiannon while she was still with Lindsey, before they joined FM.
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night And wouldn't you love to love her? Takes to the sky like a bird in flight And who will be her lover? All your life you've never seen A woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? She is like a cat in the dark And then she is the darkness She rules her life like a fine skylark And when the sky is starless All your life you've never seen A woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? Will you ever win? Rhiannon Rhiannon Rhiannon Rhiannon She rings like a bell through the night And wouldn't you love to love her? She rules her life like a bird in flight And who will be her lover? All…
Richard I finished a song lets go to to park sound of birds it's restless Lindsey Don't you think Rhiannon a beautiful name. Yes Stevie Lindsey says it's a beautiful name
Elle aurait-pu être la Blondie à l'époque, elle avait la meilleure vocale, mais j'adhore notre Blondie de l'époque avec le clip vidéo cultissime, avec le collier de chez Dior
