Stevie is a woman who had to retune her voice. In the early days, she was known for blowing her voice out on tour. Then as she got older, she learned more about how to conserve it and use it… and she gave us hard core like this as a result. This is POWER! ❤

[@tzuk85]

I'm believe this song is about Lindsey and Carol Ann Harris. It was written in the Tusk era. In the angry version, from the Mirage era, Stevie added the lines "Well, you never saw the change...That woman's softness..." Lindsey's brother has also mentioned a change in Carol Ann's softness. The cause for that change is debatable.

[@paulgarcia9825]

her in concert is so awesome all I can do is cry every time I saw her

[@scarletttrinity4008]

I saw Stevie Nicks the 1st time when I was 11 and The announcer said " Come on and welcome Stevie Nicks!" I burst into tears and cried the entire time! My body was just too full of emotion and it had to come out in some way. I have seen her everytime she has come to Dallas with or without Fleetwood Mac , even with Tom Petty. I'm 44 now and my reaction is still to cry! It's a little more reserved but still crying! Stevie's energy is simply overwhelming to my spirit. It's always amazing to me to be at the concert and look across the room and see someone else crying and you just look at each other and nod knowing what they are thinking and feeling without any words. So I hope one day when I am there crying I look across the room and see you my fellow Sister of the Moon.🌙

[@oceangrovegirl2718]

Jimmy Iovine once said to Stevie, whether u like it or not Lindsey Buckingham has always been your best producer. His guitar and her voice make magic. He was highly critical of her work, and helped make her songs better. This is a big contention between them, he so often doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Female, real life Yoda. Can't live with out her. Absolutely love her.

[@anitastarr4445]

Definitely about Lindsey and Carol Ann. “What you did not need was a lady who was stronger, you needed someone to depend on you.” Stevie was a powerhouse who liked to lead, Carol Ann was a little mouse who clung to Lindsey like a handbag. Plus Stevie said in an interview around the time Mirage was being made that she’d recorded this track for that album, but Lindsey suggested she go with another song. Stevie agreed with him, saying Smile At You is quite bitter and they weren’t in the same place anymore.

[@muffin6369]

Wrong! The story about Henley and La Pierre has been out there a long time.

[@anitastarr4445]

muffin6369 Actually Muff, we’re both wrong. I recently found out that she put this song forward for consideration to go on the Rumours album while they were recording in Sausalito (so like Feb 76). Lindsey and her broke up at that time, and Stevie was with Don for a year thereafter, so it’s pretty safe to assume this has nothing to do with Henley. Stevie tried the song out with the band but Lindsey wasn’t into it (especially after he heard their old bass player from the Buckingham Nicks era helped her co-write it). It was likely about Lindsey and the girl he was seeing during their on-off period before they broke up for good. I think her name was Christina? Ken Caillat confirms all of this, and I choose to believe him over hearsay from fans... In that interview she specifically says “we aren’t in that same place anymore.” Why would she talk about Lindsey wanting to do another song for Mirage, say she agrees with him, and in the same breath say “we’re not in the same angry place” about Don? Makes no sense to me. I believe it’s on the Buckingham Nicks website if you want to go listen. Regardless of which woman Stevie’s talking about in her song, I can pretty confidently assume it has nothing to do with Don Henley. But honestly I’m just glad she was angry enough at SOMEBODY to write this in the first place because it’s beautiful and I love how furious the lyrics are.
