You can't beat the three-part harmonies on the verses, with Lindsey Buckingham, the guitarist (is the guy) then Stevie Nicks, and Christine Mcvie (on keys) singing harmony. The song is about the band. During the recording of Rumours, Stevie and Lindsey broke up from a long relationship, and Christine McVie, divorced her husband John (the bass player) and they couldn't break the chain because they were in the middle of creating an amazing album that is one of the best-selling albums of all time. The three vocalists all wrote songs, and the most reliable hit-maker was actually Christine McVie. You should check out You Make Loving Fun which she wrote and sang off Rumours.

The Chain is really holding the whole band together. There was multiple breakups within the band at the time, they could have easily have been done after the first or second album with Stevie and Lindsey on it. This is their only song that credits the entire band as song writers. They each had elements of the song they were working on and put them all together for The Chain. That's why it sounds like it's different songs.
@allengator19144 ай бұрын
Stevie wrote the lyrics and the song is about the demise of the relationship between her and Lindsey. The reason the entire band is credited is because "The Chain" is a conglomeration of previously rejected material from the band that was literally stitched together by cutting and splicing tapes of other compositions together by the studio engineers.

Stevie Nicks makes her ex play guitar while she sings about his infidelity. Anyhow... Fleetwood Mac has been around since the 60s and the lineup kept changing except for 2 of the founding members... Mick Fleetwood and John McVie (McVie being the Mac in the band name). The mainly final lineup in 1975 (When Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were recruited) was: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and his wife Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks.

This is a song Lindsey wrote to Stevie. The satisfaction of hearing her have to sing that she said in private she would "never break the chain" must have been amazing. As a song writer I can't imagine the satisfaction in Linsey after watching Stevie chose drugs and other dudes over him. Making her sing this on tour to him every night must have been glorious.

Their relationship was front and center in their music. Please watch and listen to the live performance of " Silver Springs", 1994 I believe. You'll see her " haunting voice". It's perfect. Love your reactions! ❤❤❤

Stevie nearly screaming “You will never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you” while staring daggers at Lindsey is an epic moment.

You need to see them perform this live...Stevie and Lindsey on stage singing to each other through hate, yet still love.

We supported this music when it was new and made them rich.

One of my top albums as a teen! I am 61 years old and I just love their music still. Just went to see Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel at US Bank Stadium recently. Great concert! They both still can bring it! I wish Fleetwood Mac was still around. 🙂

The end guitar bit was used in the UK for the F1 opening theme tune and still reminds me of motor racing x one of my dad's favourite songs xx

I’m so glad you did this one, one of my favourites of all time. Free - All Right Now is my top tune and I loved it when you did that too 😁😁
