Musicbrainz DBTwo kinds of people in this world
Winners, losers
I lost my power in this world
'Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you
Two kinds of trouble in this world
Living, dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumors are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
She's a lot like you

| vaiodon (Halfway to Paradise) | Posted: Mar 07, 2013 - 12:27 Well, one probably would Go Insane if one spent too much time around Ms Nicks. I digress slightly but I bought one of her solo albums, that was OK, then a second which was a woeful collection of chip on her shoulder diatribe. But this is powerful stuff. |

| Lulubelle (Gold Coast Australia) | Posted: Nov 02, 2012 - 03:35 This is one of my all time favourites :D. Love this so so much. Thanks RP. |
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Oct 30, 2012 - 07:44 3  8That's a big jump, I know. I saw a recording of him on TV performing this live and it really made me take notice. I am not sure why I thought so little of it before. |

| KaiT (Toronto Canada) | Posted: Jun 29, 2012 - 08:20 Lindsay has always been such an under-appreciated guitarist and songwriter. This version of 'Go Insane' is just beautiful..... *le sigh* |

| AndyJ (Oregon) | Posted: May 28, 2012 - 11:07 Good (?) music for slipping around and thru heavy traffic on an open road... with the need for many-many miles to blow out the cobwebs... Open up the engine and fly... towards or away from too much and not enough... Good album... Open windows and crank the speakers... wait for Tusk... |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 14:27 Beautifully insane |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 07:37 dramatically altering the tempo of a song like this is one of my FAVORITE approaches to keeping a song fresh... |
| LifeIsMusic | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 07:34 Awesome. |
| bronorb (Wisconsin) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 07:33 Never got the credit he deserved as a guitarist. And he keeps getting better. Nice version of this. |
| johnjconn (chicago land) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 07:33 Mick, Stevie and Christy are all good but in my opinion, Lindsey is the musical driving artist in FWM. He wrote a majority of their best songs and his guitar work is outstanding. |

| lshinkawa (Berkeley, CA) | Posted: Jan 22, 2012 - 14:32 One of my favorites ever! |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Jan 19, 2012 - 16:12 love this! thanks for playing it  |
| Ando (behind your couch) | Posted: Jan 19, 2012 - 16:11 This version takes all of the emotion out of the song. This used to be feisty, frustrated, and fantastic. This is just a Spanish serenade, bummer. |

Thinking that this may be an oxymoron but worried that I may be confused, to confirm my understanding I went to Wiki and they say Flagellants are practitioners of an extreme form of mortification of their own flesh by whipping it with various instruments. Now I'm just wondering, but wouldn't someone who was a flagellant be insane, particularly if they did it to be self-adoring? Just wondering... I happen to really like this version  I actually did a history paper on this. The flagellants were a movement that stated around 1348 when the plague hit Europe. They marched from town to town, whipping themselves bloody with leather that had sharp metal tips attached. The idea was that God had left the people and brought the plague as punishment, so the flagellants were trying to atone for the wickedness of themselves and others. They were a pretty self-righteous bunch. I think that's how you can be self-adoring AND a flagellant. There's a feeling of superiority with every whipslice |

| Stratocaster (Bermuda) | Posted: Nov 20, 2011 - 03:00 Love this song. Haunting. And, Lindsey Buckingham is such an underrated guitarist. |
| Baketown (Maryland) | Posted: Nov 17, 2011 - 05:37 Lindsey Buckingham is the Guitarist and Singer. It looks like it is only on the DVD version of the Dance nbhaile wrote: WHERE is this version for purchase? I can't find it anywhere. Was trying to show my husband, who's a guitarist.

| nbhaile | Posted: Oct 19, 2011 - 19:03 okay - so where is that particular version of the song??? I can't find it anywhere. I keep finding the slow live but not the one like this, where he's tearing up the guitar. evidently "go insane" didn't make it to the CD but only the DVD. is there anywhere I can get as an MP3 only? |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Oct 19, 2011 - 12:54 that was an excellent album for the time and quite the departure from FM... |

I'm not a big devotee of Lindsey Buckingham, but he is an outstanding guitar player, and yes, he very seldom - if ever - uses a pick. |

| jadewahoo | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 08:42 I saw FM a while back. Lindsay Buckingham blew me away with his (still) incredible artistry and control of his guitar and voice. Astoundingly beautiful, haunting song. |

| casey1024 (Inner space) | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 08:39 OK. Moving on. I love Lindsey Buckingham's work. |

Self portrait. Yes, there I am, and it actually has some resemblance to moi. I can't tell you how much time it took, but I can (and will) give you a list of songs I listened to in the making.
