Radio Paradise (mobile)

Wait a minute, baby
Stay with me a while
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
And he was just like
A great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match
He was singing
And undoing
And undoing
Ooh, the laces
Undoing the laces
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Said Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
But when you build your house
Well, then call me home
Hold on, the night is coming
And the starling flew for days
I'd stay at home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there
Yeah, ask me and I'm there
I care
In the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter anymore
If you build your house
Then please call me, call
Oh, Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, and don't you ever stop
Now it's gone, no
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
I'll come by
(Ah, Sara, ah)
(Ah, Sara, ah)
(Ah, Sara, ah)
All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
There's a heartbeat
And it never really died
Never really died
Won't you swallow your pride?
All I ever wanted

Bare Trees was probably their masterwork. You gotta climb into the WayBack Machine and compare and contrast to the Peter Green blues era, especially Then Play On and Kiln House . The Good Stuff. OK, I think we've pretty much run the "only Peter Green Era Fleetwood Mac is Acceptable" bullshit into the ground now. Another way of saying the same thing without the hackneyed arrogance might be something like "I prefer the blues." And that's fine. I would add a couple things, though. First, a lot of the Peter Green era blues you extoll had roots in 50s (and earlier) R&B songs that themselves were the pop of their eras, and some of it was crap, too. Blues and pop are genres that have sometimes walked hand in hand. It is enough, I think, simply to reject the crap regardless of its genre. As to the rest of Mac's catalogue, I would note that only some post-Green Mac was pop crap. To be sure, "Sara" is arguably the paradigm of such crappiness — I personally think it belongs in everyone's secret list of songs that you actually question Bill's judgment for ever playing. But Lindsay Buckingham actually had many non-Stevie moments of tuneful songwriting and accomplished guitar playing (Bill might suggest that "Bleed to Love Her" is a good example), and I never get tired of that.

I was with my friend, and we took a turnoff just before the overpass almost on the outskirts of this small town. The road went down and around, stopping by the edge of a frozen stream that once ran through the center of town but was rerouted years ago. She parked the car, turned up the stereo, and skated on that frozen pond to this song. It was a peaceful, magical interlude that will never happen again. I can't listen to "Sara" without remembering that snapshot in time... Very nice visual [ Reply ]

(former member) May 02, 2011 - 18:58	Saw what's left of Fleetwood Mac last year. As Stevie was up there, gamely running through the usual tunes (hers and the band's) I thought, jeez, here's a woman who had the best of times/the worst of times. Immensely famous in the 70s/80s/90s with all the drugs and hangers-on and business deals and touring and life experiences... What's that like, I wonder, to look back on as she's in her later years?
