Fleetwood Mac, Songbird 1982

[@rickboldman8907]

This was played at my dear late wife's funeral. Then a few days later Christine McVie passed away. This song rips me to pieces and heals me.

[@user-vj7ip8ml5o]

Christine was a true songbird. Her voice is near angelic and her songs are my Mac-favorites. I hope your changes /passing loss is eased. My heart-break song is Don Henley's 'Heart of the Matter'.... - "- And I thought of all the bad luck, the struggles we went through - how I lost me and you lost you ; what are these voices outside love's open door - - - - There are people in your life who've come and gone - they let you down, you know they hurt your pride , You better put it all behind you, 'cause life goes on' if you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside.... I've been trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter , but my will gets weak - and my thoughts seem to scatter - but I think it's about forgiveness - Forgiveness." (and grace).....

GOD bless you dear one. My mom passed on my arms July 2005. She loved this song and was one of 3 I sang her home to. We will All meet someday.💔🙏🎶

[@francishale9345]

so so sorry. Be glad as she was, that you were there.

[@brianlutz7813]

this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written ... Christine McVie is one of the most criminally underrated vocalists/performers/writers in the history of music

[@veronicaalleyne]

we knew the songs she wrote but, maybe not that she wrote them

[@kerrinlangford4485]

Agree

[@SmackWaterJack001]

I totally agree...

[@BonnieBlue2510]

Christine was the real talent for this group..

[@timodaniel8139]

I could not agree more , fleetwood mac was always viewed as stevie/lindsey, some many of their hits were from christie . What a gift she was and what a loss . RIP songbird . Brutal.

[@leebattick5874]

Stevie got a lot of the attention in this band but to me, this woman was the real gem. She makes me melt. Beuty, grace, her playing, her writing and that VOICE.

[@mfi-cf7sp]

❤❤❤ yup her real last name summed it up.. Perfect.. I can’t even type her voice makes me cry. I hate I never got to see them live as it was my moms fave band and she’s gone too. I doubt they’ll ever tour again without Christine which is very understandable so I’m glad these old vids exist

[@keithm9337]

I agree 100%.

[@Comet-hn3gm]

Stevie makes a good back up singer. This Gal was the person who held this band together and made them sound professional. Really I think Stevie was good for the band, but in my estimation, not even remotely the talent of Christy.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

⁠@@Comet-hn3gm Back up singer? What nonsense. All 5 members were crucial to the band’s success. You can celebrate Christine’s great talent without making silly statements like the one with the most successful solo career is really just a “back up singer.”

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

You know it doesn’t have to be a contest between the two women in the band. It wasn’t a contest for them personally, not anything like that, so why must the fans make it one? It’s stupid really.

[@victormoon2349]

If you can’t cry during this song you don’t have a heart.

[@simonmay4393]

ball my eyes out uncontrollably every time

[@rebeccawagner4167]

This song is a true classic and pure gold. This song is as awesome as the lady who sang it and wrote it. You are a national treasure, Christine McVie RIP.

[@SuperStar-1-]

RIP, Christine McVie. This is one of my most favorite songs of all time. You were a magnificent singer in one of the greatest bands. Saw you in concert in the 90s reunion tour. You will be remembered.

[@timmytv7554]

My first dance with my wife at our wedding was to Songbird. A month later, we saw Fleetwood Mac at Boston Garden. I will always remember the tears in her eyes as Christine sang the song. Thank you Christine, we love you.

[@logan_e]

I told my late wife one night during our 24th year together when she was struggling to find the words, that I think this song says how she felt for me, after listening, both of us crying she said yes, exactly! I miss you baby girl, so much!

[@fbayer72]

😢 So very sorry for the loss of your love, your story touched my heart.❤

[@joshuacho6657]

A timeless song. One of the most beautiful songs ever. No one does this like Christine

[@1031E]

Well you would be wrong about that. Eva Cassidy owns this song.

[@carlalakins]

@@1031E ....I'm glad someone told the truth!!

[@blawthomp]

@@1031E Partly because she changes it to a love song instead of a breakup song by eliminating the last versse.

[@garzplace]

@@1031E That's the first person I thought of, too. Eva was amazing and gone way too soon.

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

With this song, Christine lived so beautifully up to her maiden name: Perfect.

What a beautiful song,this was played at my mother's funeral. R.I.P. CHRISTINE

[@johnforeman634]

That one song alone puts her in my top five favourite female singers of all time. What a rich sounding voice. Just a beautiful tone.

[@syraozaeta1541]

Pregnant and alone this song used to reinforce that I wasn't "alone".... My sweet baby girl kept me company in my most trying time's and this song helped me get thru it and now looking back 12 yrs later this song always brings me back to playing it on a lawn chair rubbing my very pregnant belly while my baby kicked💞🙌talk about a trip down memory lane.... This song brings out so much emotions but mostly of triumph🤰👩👧
