The pop Masterpiece of 'Silver Springs' -Fleetwood Mac - Kraniac - 03-02-2019
a series of brilliant moments lyrically, melody, groove, coloring.. dynamics..on and on..
in my car going to a friends gig the other night and this came on the radio...hit pne of those 'moments' where you're transfixed and 'inside' a song//after it was over i pulled off the road and dialed it up on my phone and listened to it 5 times loud and tripped out..nother one of those B side beauties..
Silver Springs-Fleetwood Mac --The B Side (really???) version from the 45..
YOU, and you'll know who u R... may not care for it..but it sliced into the hearts of SO many people and still does..mark of a Pop record..accessible, things that find that wonderful commonality in human beings that says 'We are all the same..but just little bit different'

and the longer version remastered in 2002,,much different, really
Silver Springs-Fleetwood Mac -remastered (longer) version

Love that song - was originally supposed to be on Rumours, but Mick cut it out, look up the story - very interesting

Yep..have read it before..i obsess on this song in regular intervals..lol
the story makes it all the more better IMO as does the placement as a B-side underneath Go Your Own Way

it's very interesting, isn't it? This series of recordings and the sessions..there is SO much legend around everything about it..the technical aspects of the recordings, the relationships, the studio, the writing of the songs..THIS song..really was an amazingly rich thing with a lot of genius and inspiration and a lot of troubling stuff going on..

a lot of the Mac i just can't separate from the time it was recorded. not that i was all that informed when i was in grammar school, and that is part of the problem, i guess.

So much of this stuff keeps getting bigger tho, like you, Biggie..The reuniting of F-Mac and that filmed show was an explosion of ""jeeziz, "how good were these guys?"" in that show, they were better than ever...pretty amazing if only for that broad touch of everyone..songs people relate to very heavily because of the stuff going on in em..This song, Silver Springs..I relate to it very heavily, some incredibly poignant and beautiful imagery in it.

This "is" a masterpiece. The chorus just kills me.

I've never been a big fan of the "hit period" Fleetwood Mac, but I very much remember the first time I heard/saw this one, from their 1997 reunion concert on MTV. It stopped me in my tracks. The sheer vocal power in the refrain is still stunning.
