Written as a direct message to Lindsay Buckingham. They entered the band as a couple and were breaking up when this album was being recorded. John and Christine McVie's marriage was ending at the same time. Two couples breaking up at the same time in the same band.
Exactly, her response to Lindsey’s “Go Your Own Way” song on the same album about their breakup. Pretty bada** to write a song dogging your ex and he is on stage playing lead guitar and singing backup while you sing it every night.
When I was in my junior year of high school this was on constant play everywhere. I had the album and played it all the time at home too. Great album that was pretty much universally loved by everyone I knew.
100% same year for me...Everyone did love it, everyone had it, everyone played it. All during the Spring, all Summer, get back to school, still #1 on the charts well not the Fall, what a summer! Hotel California, same thing, wow.
I love watching you and the younger generations discover The Mac and their amazing music ❤ the singer: Stevie Nicks is the first woman inducted in to the rock and roll hall of fame twice! And it’s because of that voice and writing amazing songs like this! Great song. Great album.
I just read this: "Rumours" was at #1 for 31 weeks! And it currently holds the record for longest time spent in the Billboard Top 200 at 981 weeks. That's over 18 years!
It’s not about players as being a “player.” It’s about her ex who is in the band. Read up on the history of this line up. 3 amazing song writers and singers.
The iconic Stevie Nicks on vocals with Christine McVie coming in with the harmony. You need to get into Stevie’s catalog and more Fleetwood Mac. The bass is coming from John McVie, Christine’s ex-husband. You got Lindsey Buckingham on lead guitar and the beat is being kept by Mr Mick Fleetwood. One of the top 5 best drummers of all time; in my book, anyway. Welcome to the rabbit hole. ✌🏻❤️from Texas
@@79BlackRose well, my list. He’s awesome. Underrated in my book. Take for instance, Alex Lifeson from Rush. Underrated, yet plays the guitar like a house on fire. I like to give credit where credit is due. Ya know? 💁🏻♀️
BEAUTIFUL song, The voice of Steve Nicks is so powerful, but the voice that Cristine MCvie had was wonderful, clean, emotive. Cristine create a lot of songs . The voice of Lindsay, is great to, so especial, and he play the guitar very, very well. Please...sometime Riannon 76.
Unless you lived through it like I did, you just can't comprehend the impact this song, and this entire album, had on the world in 1977. "Monster hit" is too tame...
Hey, Silas! I’m so glad you’re doing this album. In my opinion, it’s one of the top 5 best albums, top to bottom, it’s stacked. I actually did a review of this album in a video on my channel a few years ago, and just talked about how fantastic it is. It is, in my opinion, the quintessential “break-up” album, due to all the internal turmoil the band was dealing with (during the recording of the album, it got so bad that the women in the band lived in a house separate from the men in the band). You have my favorite song off the album coming up next. I won’t spoil anything, but, man, you can’t go wrong anywhere on the album!
When the rain washes you clean clean, you'll know. Just 💌 the whole album. When you get around to it listen to the studio version of Rhiannon and then go the 1976 live version. You will see Stevie Nicks at her best.
I also love the bass in this and what's really happening there that makes it so effective is that, other than in those short instrumental interludes where they are completely decoupled, the bass is exactly coupled with the kick drum. So what you think of as the bass is actually the bass guitar and the kick drum hitting at the same time and it's just the perfect blend. It's sparse enough that it really draws attention to itself and it contributes perfectly to the overall relaxed and almost dreamy nature of this song. It's common in a lot of music to have the bass sometimes or all of the times, coincide with the kick, but for the reasons above, it's just so perfect here, in such a relaxed but relentless way. One of the many things I like about Dreams is that no element of this is dramatic. All of it is fairly relaxed and pulled back, and yet like a jigsaw puzzle, it fits together so perfectly to make something where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It really does capture the feeling of just sitting back and listening to the rain, and dreamily musing about love and loss.
A masterpiece young Silas. Stunning vocal, and such a delicious arrangement. I live downtown in the Historic District...60 gwm, BIG house alone, next door was leased by university soccer players, 18 & 19, diff crews of 4 staggered every 2 yrs, they'd pile in my house for football/spaghetti/drinks, sometimes bringing a friend from school, I'd ALWAYS tell the newbie "your choice of music" as the host, of music thru the house from the den, and make newbie feel welcome and comfy (South Carolina, we pride ourself on southern hospitality and social graces)...around that time they were always listening to The Weeknd, but that night the newbie shocked me with "my favorite song ever is 'Dreams' by Fleetwood'...I was stunned, and like one of my fav songs ever, kick your shoes off and what can I get you to drink...with Dreams drifting through the house, absolutely wonderful, there is a God. Epic tune, shocked it was a 19 yr old fav...I said "You'll go far young man".
When it comes to the harmonies and the backup singers , Being Christy McVie and Lindsey Buckingham , They are also laying Stevie's voice on top of Stevie's voice !
Stevie Nicks has an amazing, one of a kind voice!...I wore my vinyl record out in my teens playing this. It was the best era of bands to grow up in. So glad you reacted this way..As a matter of fact, Stevie Nicks is in concert this Month in Sacramento...I"m hoping to go...Great reaction!
Lol that intro, Silas! Yeah, Rumours is one of classic rock's greatest and most popular (and most dramatic) albums. Interviews with the band members, both video and articles, are full of crazy stories of this time for the band members. And it is one of the best-selling albums of all time too! Stevie Nicks does have an amazing voice! And this band could harmonize like few others! Their first album (after the addition of Lindsey and Stevie) is cool too. Stevie's song Landslide is a gem. I've seen a producer from the Rumours album break down individual instrumental and vocal tracks from each song, and it's amazing to hear the individual parts!
Great album. Memories of playing it on my 8 track traveling from Michigan to Colorado in the 70's. You may like the band "Heart" I dont think you have done any of their songs and oh, the sound quality on Spotify is So good!
That's Stevie Nicks singing and you haven't heard anything yet! She had a solo career for a while and did just as well as Fleetwood Mac did. A few great songs of hers are Edge of Seventeen, I can't wait, Stand Back, Room's on Fire, Talk to me, and so many more. I think you'd also like Lindsay Buckingham's song 'trouble', the guitar in that is wonderful!
All of us guys have been under Stevies spell since 1975...she's just got that certain thing that is so attractive....besides being gorgeous her voice is mesmerizing...so Silas you're not the only one feeling the Stevie magic
What a lot of young people don't realise is that Fleetwood Mac had three songwriters, Stevie Nicks, Christine Mc Vie and Lindsay Buckingham. The rule with Fleetwood Mac was that whoever wrote the song, sung the song. So they also had three singers.
Except from not being in your parents' collection and if you don't listen to oldies radio, that's how you have not heard this before. Same as I don't know one single Justin Bieber song or Kanye West rap either. My kids don't listen to them either
This is the only Number 1 song off of Fleetwood Mac’s album Rumours released in 1977. It is currently the eighth best-selling album of all time at 30 million copies sold. Michael Jackson’s Thriller is number one with 50 million copies sold, for comparison.
I was your age when a lot of these songs you react to were first released. In a way, I get to relive those days through your videos, remembering how great these songs were, the first time I heard them.
this album came out year i was born, Love Fleetwood Mac this is Stevie Knicks singing. when band wanted Lindsey, he said wouldn't do it without Stevie.
When you finish this album look up "the Dance". It is the video of a concert in the mid 90s when they got back together after about 10 yrs split. The band kept going without Stevie and Lindsay and then Stevie came back and left again etc. Dave Mason was in a while with a couple of others.
SILAS, if you think Stevie Nicks has a pretty voice, wait until you see what she looks like! Watch the video “Fleetwood Mac Dreams official video” on CZcams for yourself. The video was shot in 1977 not long after “Rumours” came out that February. She was 28 at the time, she’s 74 now and still looks good.
Stevie Nicks is one of the greatest singers ever. Was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice once Fleetwood other by herself. She really shows her rock side in Rhiannon. Best version is on Midnight Special in 76. She goes wild, it's incredible and hasn't been blocked. Big fan of her. Best success on yr channel
Silas, dude...your reaction, to me, meant that you were born in the wrong time. You would have THRIVED in the 70's as a young teenager and beyond. the quality of music was unmatched. And nobody was attached to a phone. they didn't "tik tok" they just lived the vibe with friends and places that produced memories in the best ways....without a "like" button.
Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham were married and then divorced and a lot of the songs are about their rocky relationship with each other. After you finish this album you need to react to the live Midnight Special version of Rhiannon.
Search for the documentary.....'Sound City'......produced or directed by David Grohl around 2015. The story of this run down little dive of a studio....in southern CA. Some big names came out of this place. They get some footage of Stevie, Mick Fleetwood....Tom Petty, A fascinating little film.
"How have I never heard this song?" Your parents aren't cool 😎😎 Ok they might be a bit young for this too. Your grandparents probably had it cranking when you weren't there. Haha
And another teeneage boy seduced by the Welsh Witch...lol. If you think Nicks has a pretty voice, listen to Songbird, which is sung by the recently deceased Christine McVie. She had the voice of an angel.
Just listen to the entire album on your own, then come back and react to YOUR favorites ! I can't necessarily speak for others, but I'd be curious as to what YOU like ! I realize that you are somewhat bound to please the fans, but others may also want to see what you like.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise: this is a tremendous album. No bad songs. Perfect. Well engineered.
I'm a 90s/00s kid, but Rumors might be the best album of all time. No bad songs.
Written as a direct message to Lindsay Buckingham. They entered the band as a couple and were breaking up when this album was being recorded. John and Christine McVie's marriage was ending at the same time. Two couples breaking up at the same time in the same band.

Funny. I sort of said that in the Go your own way video 😂
I think Silver Spring is the direct response to Go Your Way and believe it calling him out as the cheater is how “the record company” pulled it.
A great song. The entire Rumors album is a great album.
When I was in my junior year of high school this was on constant play everywhere. I had the album and played it all the time at home too. Great album that was pretty much universally loved by everyone I knew.

Whole album is legendary but I can't wait until this dude gets to The Chain.
I love watching you and the younger generations discover The Mac and their amazing music ❤ the singer: Stevie Nicks is the first woman inducted in to the rock and roll hall of fame twice! And it’s because of that voice and writing amazing songs like this! Great song. Great album.

More than Dark Side? You sure about that?
It’s not about players as being a “player.” It’s about her ex who is in the band.
Read up on the history of this line up.
3 amazing song writers and singers.
It sold loads because it is good quality middle of the road fare (like Eagles Greatest Hits). Nothing to dislike.
Yup. Mom never made me shut the door when this was on.
I love the eerie guitar work by Lindsay Buckingham on this one.
I really stopped to appreciate his guitar tone here- he's so good !
The iconic Stevie Nicks on vocals with Christine McVie coming in with the harmony. You need to get into Stevie’s catalog and more Fleetwood Mac. The bass is coming from John McVie, Christine’s ex-husband. You got Lindsey Buckingham on lead guitar and the beat is being kept by Mr Mick Fleetwood.

"One of the top 5 best drummers of all time". I've never seen Mick on any top drummers list.
@@79BlackRose well, my list. He’s awesome. Underrated in my book. Take for instance, Alex Lifeson from Rush. Underrated, yet plays the guitar like a house on fire. I like to give credit where credit is due. Ya know? 💁🏻♀️
@@79BlackRose Read better, it says; 'In my book...'
I distinctly hear Lindsey in the background vocals during the chorus
Let's not fail to recognize the machine-like precision of Mick Fleetwood's drumming.... BUT with very creative fills here and there.
BEAUTIFUL song, The voice of Steve Nicks is so powerful, but the voice that Cristine MCvie had was wonderful, clean, emotive. Cristine create a lot of songs . The voice of Lindsay, is great to, so especial, and he play the guitar very, very well. Please...sometime Riannon 76.
Thanks for doing this album. It’s a true masterpiece that never gets old listening to.
I love your excitement and curiosity, keep on chuggin' along young man and ENJOY!
Unless you lived through it like I did, you just can't comprehend the impact this song, and this entire album, had on the world in 1977. "Monster hit" is too tame...
Magical time to be a teen, for sure, we had the best music that year, this was at the top.

40 million units of Rumors sold worldwide.
Fleetwood Mac are among the gods of Rock n' Roll!!!!!
I first listened to this on headphones as a kid on a 8 track player and have loved them ever since It would hard to find a smoother more relevant band
I also love the bass in this and what's really happening there that makes it so effective is that, other than in those short instrumental interludes where they are completely decoupled, the bass is exactly coupled with the kick drum. So what you think of as the bass is actually the bass guitar and the kick drum hitting at the same time and it's just the perfect blend.

I love seeing young people really enjoying the classics from back in the day.
I got Rumours on 8-track for my 13th birthday in 1977 and it’s still my favorite. So cool to see you loving it so far 😎
When it comes to the harmonies and the backup singers , Being Christy McVie and Lindsey Buckingham , They are also laying Stevie's voice on top of Stevie's voice !

I was 17 when this came out, what a great time to be alive. Your reaction is everything. Enjoy the journey. 😁
Same for me, damn what a time to be a teen!
One of my favorite albums of all time.❤❤❤
Nice to see young people discovering great music. Good for you and thank you for sharing.
Lol that intro, Silas!
Yeah, Rumours is one of classic rock's greatest and most popular (and most dramatic) albums. Interviews with the band members, both video and articles, are full of crazy stories of this time for the band members.
And it is one of the best-selling albums of all time too!
Stevie Nicks does have an amazing voice! And this band could harmonize like few others! Their first album (after the addition of Lindsey and Stevie) is cool too. Stevie's song Landslide is a gem.
I've seen a producer from the Rumours album break down individual instrumental and vocal tracks from each song, and it's amazing to hear the individual parts!
Friend, love every minute of hearing this record for the first time. It's magical ❤️🔥
Can you imagine being able to hear this album again for the very first time?
Great album. Memories of playing it on my 8 track traveling from Michigan to Colorado in the 70's. You may like the band "Heart" I dont think you have done any of their songs and oh, the sound quality on Spotify is So good!
Definitely Heart! Yes please
There Are Certain Albums That Are MUST HEAR Classics From Beginning To End & This Is One Of Them,, Robin Trower "Bridge Of Sighs" Album...TRUST ME!!
Stevie Nicks is a brilliant performer and a consummate Songwriter!
The band's only #1 single in the US. Stevie is still really proud of that.
That’s really mind blowing too, because nearly every song on this album should have been a number one single.
That's Stevie Nicks singing and you haven't heard anything yet! She had a solo career for a while and did just as well as Fleetwood Mac did. A few great songs of hers are Edge of Seventeen, I can't wait, Stand Back, Room's on Fire, Talk to me, and so many more. I think you'd also like Lindsay Buckingham's song 'trouble', the guitar in that is wonderful!
All of us guys have been under Stevies spell since 1975...she's just got that certain thing that is so attractive....besides being gorgeous her voice is mesmerizing...so Silas you're not the only one feeling the Stevie magic
I feel you man. When I was little old guys would play these songs on their car and I wasn’t ready. Now I’m playing this in my car
The last reaction you mentioned Christine McVie. Stevie Nicks is the lead singer on this one.
What a lot of young people don't realise is that Fleetwood Mac had three songwriters, Stevie Nicks, Christine Mc Vie and Lindsay Buckingham. The rule with Fleetwood Mac was that whoever wrote the song, sung the song. So they also had three singers.
Rock music is a mash of folk, country, blues, and RnB and gospel. It has qualities of all it's roots.
How could anyone, let alone a teenage boy at the time ( i.e. me), not fall in love with that voice
Except from not being in your parents' collection and if you don't listen to oldies radio, that's how you have not heard this before. Same as I don't know one single Justin Bieber song or Kanye West rap either. My kids don't listen to them either
This is the only Number 1 song off of Fleetwood Mac’s album Rumours released in 1977. It is currently the eighth best-selling album of all time at 30 million copies sold. Michael Jackson’s Thriller is number one with 50 million copies sold, for comparison.
I was your age when a lot of these songs you react to were first released. In a way, I get to relive those days through your videos, remembering how great these songs were, the first time I heard them.
And on harmonies is Christine Mc Vie. On bass is Christine's husband, John Mc Vie.
I love the way the music moves you!
I wish I was your brain right now!
Best LIVE performance of Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" tour of 1996! Check out live versions!!!
Stevie Nicks is the vocalist
this album came out year i was born, Love Fleetwood Mac this is Stevie Knicks singing. when band wanted Lindsey, he said wouldn't do it without Stevie.
Yes....finally Fleetwood Mac!!! Best LP ever made!
When you finish this album look up "the Dance". It is the video of a concert in the mid 90s when they got back together after about 10 yrs split. The band kept going without Stevie and Lindsay and then Stevie came back and left again etc. Dave Mason was in a while with a couple of others.
Next should be 'The Chain' (awesome bass) and 'Go your own way'.
You should definitely purchase this album and play play play. You wont regret it.
Outstanding Intro Silas - it was "Dreamy" - you are really expressing yourself more in your videos = Excellent!
Your next albums should be:
ACDC - Back in Black
Van Halen I
Kiss - Rock And Roll Over
SILAS, if you think Stevie Nicks has a pretty voice, wait until you see what she looks like! Watch the video “Fleetwood Mac Dreams official video” on CZcams for yourself. The video was shot in 1977 not long after “Rumours” came out that February. She was 28 at the time, she’s 74 now and still looks good.
The kind of song that would belong in a museum if that made sense
A brilliant masterpiece
Your reviews are awesome to watch.
as a 13 year old i begged my sister who was old enough to drive to turn the radio station so i could here this song again and again!
Stevie Nicks is one of the greatest singers ever. Was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice once Fleetwood other by herself. She really shows her rock side in Rhiannon. Best version is on Midnight Special in 76. She goes wild, it's incredible and hasn't been blocked. Big fan of her. Best success on yr channel
Take a trip to Maui Hawaii. On Front Street I Lahaina you can experience Mick Fleetwood Bar.
Sorry, it's gone....burned down in the recent Lahaina fire. 😥
When it comes to female vocalists from the Seventies: LINDA RONSTADT.
A lot of R&B here. You can hear Gladys Night singing this with the Pips. Richie Havens did.
First song I was taught on the drums - just listening to it again here, understand my teachers song choice.
You are listing to the 2nd or 3rd best album of all time!!! Glad you liked it!!!
Silas, dude...your reaction, to me, meant that you were born in the wrong time. You would have THRIVED in the 70's as a young teenager and beyond. the quality of music was unmatched. And nobody was attached to a phone. they didn't "tik tok" they just lived the vibe with friends and places that produced memories in the best ways....without a "like" button.
Groovy song from a groovy time.
Gosh that Stevie s voice
Welcome to the best music ever!! This is why the older generation says that this is the best music Ever
Please enjoy!@@
Listen carefully. There are THREE vocalists. 😁
Gotta be "The Chain" next
Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham were married and then divorced and a lot of the songs are about their rocky relationship with each other. After you finish this album you need to react to the live Midnight Special version of Rhiannon.
In a relationship, yes. But they were never married.
great song. Check out a dance/techno version by Deep Dish, featuring Stevie singing,
Search for the documentary.....'Sound City'......produced or directed by David Grohl around 2015. The story of this run down little dive of a studio....in southern CA. Some big names came out of this place. They get some footage of Stevie, Mick Fleetwood....Tom Petty, A fascinating little film.
Fire. 🔥
❤❤❤
"How have I never heard this song?"
Your parents aren't cool 😎😎
Ok they might be a bit young for this too.
Your grandparents probably had it cranking when you weren't there. Haha
🤪
when Stevie recorded this she had a bad head cold ...you can hear it...
And another teeneage boy seduced by the Welsh Witch...lol. If you think Nicks has a pretty voice, listen to Songbird, which is sung by the recently deceased Christine McVie. She had the voice of an angel.
In all reaction videos about this song, it’s proven that you can take the kids out of the ‘70s but you can’t take the ‘70s out of the kids.
Genius. Two chords.
Fleetwood Mac’s only #1 single, amazingly enough, considering how long the album was at #1.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Now you just need to dive into The Doors, you should check out When the Music's Over first. It'll blow you away man
You’re super adorable
This song, Dreams, was Fleetwood Mac’s only #1 hit.
This was the top-selling album of all time until it was topped by Michael Jackson's Thriller!!!
Yeah when the youngster's listen to what real music is
Sexiest female voice ever and I mean for all the decades I've listened to songs, my god Stevie Nicks.
Just listen to the entire album on your own, then come back and react to YOUR favorites ! I can't necessarily speak for others, but I'd be curious as to what YOU like ! I realize that you are somewhat bound to please the fans, but others may also want to see what you like.
Find a woman like Stevie Nicks. You'll be good. Love her the best you can and the world will make sense.
You’ve just been Stevie Nicksed
I was only your age when I first heard this song. I fell in love immediately.
This song brings on a phenomena known as having a Nicksgasm.
Brings me back to 1977 and being 14
Do Dreamboat Annie by Heart!
