Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy | Reaction [ Soft Rock] [Pop Rock]

[@willlowes6574]

This song was about her best friend that died of cancer, and Stevie is referring herself as the single gypsy who goes on without her best friend. She’s talking about her friendship with her best friend. She’s dancing away from you now and you see your gypsy she was just a wish. It all means that her best friend is gone and now she has her memories.

[@MyDayLA711]

I never knew that…

[@roberormonde]

I did not no that that's wild

[@jenniferlloyd9574]

Also, Stevie Nicks was on tour when her best friend passed away, so she felt guilty. She ended up entering a man/woman "relationship" with her best friend's husband in order to raise her friend's baby. The husband was still deeply in grief. Parts of that are in the song. She and her friend looked similar, too. One night the husband walked into the room and - seeing Stevie from behind - mistook her for his deceased wife. He broke down... Also, one time Stevie saw the rocking chair move by itself in the baby's room. She reached her breaking point somehow and walked out on him and the baby never looking back. As of the date of the interview she gave, she had never seen the child ever again. She interspersed parts of this traumatic era into the song, woven together like thread. Speaking of thread, here's something about grief: Your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle everything I do is stitched with its color

[@artdogg50]

This song was actually written by Stevie in 1979 when her friend Robin was still alive. It was released in September of 1982, right before Robin died on October 5th of 1982. Stevie started dedicating it to Robin sometime after that. Probably because it kind of reminded her of Robin in some way.

[@SimplyBeingTT]

It's about a few things.

[@riggermorpus]

Their Rumors album is spectacular from front to back. No filler cuts.

[@brianmchugh3757]

What made Fleetwood Mac such an amazing and unique band is it had 3 distinct and extremely talented singer-songwriters.

[@Frostrazor]

yup. there were a few other groups like that. Eagles, and Styx comes to mind.

Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks pretty much dominate my playlist...absolutely love them!! 💗 I would call them soft rock!

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

.... soft rock ... Fleetwood Mac's. You are kidding right? _Go Your Own Way_,_Green Manalishi_, _Rhiannon_, etc. They are a straight ahead British Blues Rock band. If you'd ever seen them live you'd get that 10 minutes into their show m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3-wZ3yrdp1qm68 I actually thought you were joking

This song takes me back in time. She's singing about the person she used to be and how that person is gone, only the memories are left. Every time I hear this song, I'm transported back to different parts of my life and I feel so many emotions. Not just nostalgia, also so many regrets and so much pain but at the same time joy that I've made it to where I am now. If you haven't yet, consider reacting to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Also "Crazy on You" "Straight On" and "Barracuda" by the band Heart from the same era.

[@steviefreak69]

For me: Stevie’s vocals, lyrics and music touches the soul and puts you in that place where you’re relating to the song and the vibe as much as she did when she experienced it and wrote it. And that truly is bewitching 🤩

[@inspectorvol951]

The impetus for this song was when Stevie was an unknown aspiring artist who frequented a clothing store where she lived called the Velvet Underground. All the starving artists and hippies of the day went there for cheap but stylish clothes. The first few lines of lyrics describe the place. Heard her explain this in concert a few years back when Christine came back to the group.

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

Also, Stevie is singing about her best friend, Robin Anderson, who died of leukemia two days after giving birth. She was diagnosed while pregnant. Three months later, Stevie married Robin's husband in order to be a mother to her friend's baby. The marriage lasted three months, because they weren't in love. Referencing the lines in the song "she was JUST a wish. She was JUST a WISH. And her memory is all that's left for you now..."

[@mranonymoUs23384]

@Joseph Dockemeyer .. thats for sure? great comment!!

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

@@mranonymoUs23384 Thank you! Yes. There was an overlap created when Stevie tried to encompass deceased Robin's life. Two gypsies. I think Stevie felt she was trying to fill her friend's shoes and it gave her strange vibes. It even affected and confused Robin's husband. One time Stevie went into the nursery and an empty rocking chair was rocking.

[@shanedesselle2590]

One of the most talented, successful, legendary, and awesome bands of all time! 3 people who would have been legendary singers/songwriters if the lead on any other band, alone.

[@Frostrazor]

growing up i remember being so in love w/ Stevie Nicks and her voice. Just mesmerizingly sultry. This is among top few songs by FM.

[@beatsbydrea6557]

It’s the genuine smile when he’s listening for me, also guys that wasn’t a synth, they really go off on the guitar!

[@itchyandred4131]

You should do some Fleetwood Mac featuring Christine McVie like "say that you love me" her voice is so smooth and sweet ✌️

[@XX2Media]

Totally agree! Christine could belt a great tune or two in her own right. May she be at peace…

[@markredmond2014]

Nothing to say about this classic then?

[@iancremmins4727]

the smile on your face says it all, you will never run out of good music if you dig them up from the past

[@marinamartinez6886]

Perfect song to show why Fleetwood Mac is so popular. Also Lindsey Buckinghams great guitar skills. 👍👍👍

[@donaldwhite1928]

Stevie had that little vibrato that made her voice amazing

[@michaelhoran7978]

It's about when she first started out she had no money. So back to the gypsy and the floor she loved she would sleep on a mattress on a floor and always pick a flower on the way home from work and still seeing her bright eyes. Was her friend who died of cancer who was a dance ballerina I believe the beautiful song

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

Great song. It’s so mystical. Just like Stevie Nicks. Another great one by Fleetwood Mac from the same album is “Hold Me”.

[@alfonsopadilla8642]

Gypsy has that Dreamy/Interdemensional vibration.❤❤❤

I adore Stevie and everything she is attached to. Instrumental in this song is amazing. Love seeing yall react to this music.

[@seanjohnson3920]

Stevie has something that just makes a man tingle. What a great band for the ages. I've been carrying them in my heart for 44 years thanks to my dad's flavor of music at night. Watching generations after finding such music to carry a few more is an amazing human thing. Good things live on.

[@dwaynek.1293]

Love Mac. This song has an awesome video to it. Please watch it. Stevie Nicks is one of a kind. She did really well with solo albums. Mac has so many great songs. I experienced MTV from it's start when it was about the music and videos. I even had one of the first MTV blue shirts when I was 17. It's weird you mentioned bewitchery. I heard people say Stevie nicks dabbled in witchery. Don't quote me on that. You know how rumours are no pun intended. They had a album called Rumours. Love the channel and reactions. You guys take me back.😊

I became a fan of Stevie (and Lindsey) in 1973 when I discovered an album titled simply Buckingham Nicks. This album featured Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham BEFORE they joined Fleetwood Mac. The album is phenomenal. Suggestions are Crying In The Night, Races Are Run, Long Distance Winner, Crystal, and the monumental Frozen Love. Great reactions, keep it up!

[@Deborahtunes]

This was written by Stevie, for her best friend Robin. Robin died of leukemia 5 days after she gave birth to her son Matthew, only 5 months into her pregnancy...

I think this is a bittersweet kiss off to Buckingham, like many of her other songs. It sounds like she's trying to raise herself back up to a position of strength...and succeeds.

[@maryannprzybycien2013]

One of my favorite Stevie songs. My mom used to call me Gypsy. And yes, some of their music can be considered Yacht Rock. It's basically soft rock music mostly from the mid 1970's to the mid 80's.

I grew up in the 70's listening to all types of music in Dorchester MA and I hesitate to "categorize" music...musicians can't help but be influenced by sound: their individual, others', etc but artists make it their own and the result is different each time...

I love Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks is amazing. But what is always on my ind is she and Her husband Lindsey Buckingham (male lead singer) wrote so many angry or hurt-filled songs about each other and their marriage. And then they sing them together to each other! Phenomenal music. Have you heard Brandi Carlile? Try her super famous “The Story” or her duet with Alicia Keys “Beautiful Noise”. ❤️

@@Faltor895 apologies, you are correct they were never actually married. I should’ve said controlling, abusive on & off again, long-time boyfriend. My point was it is a well known fact that their songs are about each other and their romantic relationship. They insult and snipe at each other throughout Rumors and their tumultuous relationship was a huge factor in the band break-up. And why he wasn’t invited on tour in 2018ish.
