Good R.E.D. Friday Noon Hour/Early afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!
There was a time when Stevie Nicks took a pause from Fleetwood Mac and went solo... Here is Stevie Nicks in a different spin on "Rhiannon"... I am not sure who comprised her band at that time!
Background:
"Stephanie Lynn Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter. Nicks is best known for her work as a songwriter and vocalist with Fleetwood Mac, and also for her chart-topping solo career. She is known for her distinctive voice, mystical stage persona and poetic, symbolic lyrics. Collectively, her work both as a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist has produced over forty top 50 hits and sold over 140 million records, making her one of the best-selling music acts of all time with Fleetwood Mac.
Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 along with her then boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham. Rumours, Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, was the best-selling album of the year of its release and to date has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the fifth biggest-selling studio album of all time. The album remained at number one on the American albums chart for 31 weeks and reached number one in various countries worldwide. The album won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978. It produced four US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles, with Nicks's "Dreams" being the band's first and only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit.
In 1981, while remaining a member of Fleetwood Mac, Nicks began her solo career, releasing the studio album Bella Donna, which topped the Billboard 200 and has reached multi-platinum status. She has released eight solo studio albums, with her most recent, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault, released in October 2014.
Nicks was named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time by Rolling Stone. She is the only woman to have been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and as a solo artist in 2019. She has garnered eight Grammy Award nominations and two American Music Award nominations as a solo artist. She has won numerous awards with Fleetwood Mac, including a Grammy Award and five Grammy Award nominations." For more information, go to Wikipedia
LYRICS:
Rhiannon rings like a bell thru 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 x4
she rings like a bell thru 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 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 x4
taken by, taken by the sky x3
Dreams unwind.
Love's a state of mind. x2
