Stories Behind The Songs
Registrace 29. 06. 2012
I've always loved listening to music and learning what went into the creation of the bands, the songs and the albums. When I was around ten years old I got really into the Beatles and started loving their songs. Then I read "The Love You Make" which told the behind the scenes story of the Beatles and their music. Suddenly a lot of the songs had a whole different dimension and it made me love the music even more. In this channel I create videos that tell the interesting back story to some of the great rock and pop songs from history, with the goal that it will help people appreciate the songs and the band even more, and enable them to listen to a song they've always loved in a new and interesting way.

You're So Vain - Carly Simon Story Behind The Song
This performance brings tears to my eyes, every time.
Omg, Lindsey was gorgeous. Why did it take me so many years to see this?
This just makes me so sad.
Silver Springs, is a song she was singing to Lyndsay about Lyndsay 🎉🎉 That's really some bad ass shit. Then have him play lead guitar 🎸 and have him sing it with you. That's another bad ass move .
I hope you are well by the grace of God. I inspected your CZcams channel and found that your channel videos are not SEO optimized. I thoroughly update all your CZcams channels SEO optimized I will help manually increase your views, likes, impressions and subscribers.
FM radio played it in the 70s/80s and being I was living outside of DC knew about Silver Spring (singular, no “s”) Maryland. I always wondered if the song was related to that place and now I know.
proof that heartbreak creates art
Excellent video, I really like the backstory you gave to the band in addition to the song. What a remarkable story and band!
I was obsessed with this song for years. It’s so beautiful and haunting. This performance is so powerful and emotional 😢
It's the best song!!!❤❤
Where did you get your information? You need to watch Stevie interviews and get your story straight. They got a PHONE CALL from Mick on newcyearsceve. The next day they went over and jammed with Fleetwood Mac. They practiced together a couple weeks THEN joined the band.
I can hear a piano in there as well.
Silver Springs is my favorite Fleetwood Mac's song and I did not know the story of the song. Thanks for the research and the post.
Sweet home Alabama has 255 million listens on CZcams music and southern man only has 7.2 million now tell me which song is clearly better! Lynyrd Skynyrd all day!!!!
This wasbthe first Album of Dylan's I bought. I wore this song out. I didnt know about this song til I played it. It was a sit down what the heck dis)d I just hear? It had to be a true story. Dylan didnt make this up. I played it so much I did ruin the album, and tell the truth, I didnt play any of the other tracks.
Rumours was a literal reality soap opera album spurned by love, passion and a snow storm of cocaine. And that is why it is the best album ever created.❤️✌️
I first heard this song in the early 80’s and have always loved it… but that performance was so powerful 🧨💥💥
Just saw them in concert last night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Give me a shelter blew me away. That beginning rift is so haunting. It just reaches deep into my soul each and every time no matter how many times I hear it.
It’s my favorite FM song.
One of the most intense emotionally charged videos I have ever seen! There is one more recent video that is even more emotional! You literally can feel the tension in the air! I thought they might possibly reunite on stage! Wow, what a song! Thank you for the back story!
Happy 76th birthday, Stevie Nicks! Been a Fleetwood Mac/Stevie fan for 7 years now ever since GOTG Vol. 2 comes to mind and I even gotten Rumours on CD around that time. But I wanna get back into the fandom a lot more so I bought the vinyl version earlier this year. While I never gotten around checking out their albums until recently that I gave Fleetwood Mac '75, Tusk (an album that I never knew it even exist until I heard "Sara" and "Tusk" from the 1988 Greatest Hits compilation that I owned on vinyl that I got as an Xmas gift last year), Mirage and Tango in the Night for the first time. Personally my favourite FM albums outside of Rumours are: Tango in the Night, Tusk and Mystery to Me (which I got around listening to it last weekend). As any FM fan in my generation who hasn't listened to those albums, you definitely should since there's a lot of deep cuts that you probably don't even know they exist. Even I wasn't too big on the Peter Green or Bob Welch eras, Mystery to Me is definitely worth listening. Btw, great deep dive. The original recording of Silver Springs is great, but the 97 live version from The Dance is more superior.
Happy 76th Birthday Stevie Nicks!! You will always be my Ancient Queen-Rock On in 2024!🎉
This song hauntingly and accurately describes my feelings toward my ex.
If you pay attention at 11:30 Lindsay is screaming back " ..Down to the sound..." Awesome, like accepting the message.
I was Stevie's garbage man, got to ACCUALLY meet her , got to chat for about a whole 60 seconds. 😊😊😊
Everybody is giving her praise at singing at Lindsay, but they quickly forget how she was like the community bicycle: Ridden by everyone. I don't blame him for not wanting her back!
Like The Beatles, there will never be another like Bruce.
I was 17 when Rumours was released. It was on my turntable weeks. I wasn’t alone. I feel for kids today, music isn’t what it was back then. Artists like Glen Campbell had variety shows. Those shows were family shows, with a wide variety of styles showcased, Midnight Special was just for the kids and it was not to be missed. Where the music is recorded is just as important as the music itself. Many top 10 songs were recorded at Sound City. It is such an iconic place. If you haven’t seen Dave Grohl’s documentary, and you love music, it’s a must see. Another great studio is Philadelphia International Records which was famous for the Sound of Philadelphia. Rock on!
Bob told the greatest stories in the history of music...ridiculous
Stevie got what she wanted at the end of the day. She didn't get the relationship but she got the song that will live on forever!
It's pronounced LINard Skynard. Not LENard. 😉
Look at all the planning, substitutions, collaboration, tinkering, and work the producer and recording artist(s) put into this song. Today they would just run it through computer program and pitch correct it. They're even going back and pitch correcting classics from previous eras before auto tune was around. It's like a museum owner or director touching up and painting over Rembrandts, van Goghs, and other masterpieces to his liking or to make them more compatible with modern styles.
Killing Me Softly with His Song, which won the Grammy over He's So Vain, is also based on a real person. (It is not "based off" a real person.)
This video told the story of this great song very well. Good job !
Hi, this was awesome! Can you help with Winchendon? How should I say this word like a New Englander?
Great question I have no idea 🥲 But knowing New England my guess is Win-chin-din!
love your videos! Keep the good work
Stevie and Lindsey is a prime example of a toxic relationship that's just impossible to walk away from cause the chemistry is simply undeniable.
absolutely nuts of them to all have diss tracks against each other haha. amazing
Great story! Lots of information I didn’t know.
You misspelled Everett and left out Leicester...Nice video!
Thanks and nice catch on Everett!
Great song, tragic story
Cut to the point, everybody in the world know the story
Just an AMAZING song showcasing Stevie’s talent … it was just SO WRONG not putting it on the Rumors album … and using it as B-side “ fodder” as most songs are was just SO WRONG AGAIN and just PLAIN RUDE !! as it was Lindsey’s song it was a “ B” too … LOVE !! her singing it to him and getting her time to sing this classic song !! … I remember my daughter was into Twilight the movies where you had 2 sides and a Tshirt to announce that … mine here would be “ TEAM NICKS “ … keep going Stevie … you have people that care and love your music … 💯🙏🤙🇨🇦❤️🦋
I love Silver Springs. Great song ❤
I loved loved loved Silver Springs and performed it with my band back in the late ‘70’s. I remember being confused on why it didn’t make it onto Rumors. Love Fleetwood Mac! RIP Christine. ❤
Great song, great story. Thanks.
They lipsync, kiss them good bye😅😂
Can't believe you left out Haverhill
That’s a good one that I missed.
The Dance is the best concert DVD I have ever witnessed. They were all fantastic in it and I would recommend every one own one. I wish it was in Blu Ray though.
I lived in Silver Spring MD for a long time. This is amazing. Shout out to Montgomery County.
