Mar 24, 2022 · The best covers of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’. Few songs are instantly recognisable with only a mere half-second drum fill. Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’ is a golden rarity that proves utterly iconic from the very get-go.
- Allison Rapp
- "Second Hand News" Not every song written by a scorned lover has to sound so sad. The upbeat opening track makes one thing clear: Lindsey Buckingham is doing just fine in the tall grass with women who aren't Stevie Nicks.
- "Dreams" Nicks had much free time during the recording of Rumours, which she spent alone in an empty studio down the hall built for Sly Stone. The Record Plant room included a sunken pit, Victorian drapes and a black velvet bed upon which Nicks set up shop with a portable electronic piano.
- "Never Going Back Again" An inordinate amount of time was spent on "Never Going Back Again," one of the last songs to be written for the album. Caillat noticed that Buckingham's acoustic guitar strings didn't sound quite as bright after just 20 minutes of playing and suggested a painstaking tactic: Change the strings every 20 minutes.
- "Don't Stop" Christine McVie, during her breakup with husband and bassist John, penned "Don't Stop" as a sort of can't-we-all-get-along number, encouraging the band to let go of the past and look to the future. "

- “You Make Loving Fun” The secret weapon of Rumours, shimmying its way out from the thick of the album’s B-side, just when you thought it was finally starting to run out of hits.
- “Go Your Own Way” A masterpiece of illogical layering and universal songwriting, Buckingham designed the verses of “Go Your Own Way” to sound like the world around him as he cried, “If I could, baby, I’d give you my world/ How can I when you won’t take it from me?”
- “Gold Dust Woman” Nicks has openly admitted that she has no idea what Rumours‘ mystical closing track is even about, which is probably one of the reasons it’s played such a large part in building the frontwoman’s own gypsy-woman mythology.
