Storms

I believe that the first verse is about a recent break up (Mick) and how she is getting used to them being apart 'Every day you do not come Your softness fades away'

Although shes coming to terms with being apart you can tell by the chorus that she is still hurting and not over it.

The second verse is like she is reminising on a old break up were she felt the same way that she does now (Lindsey) reminising on how the break up ended and how she delt with it badly, 'I did not deal with the road And I did not deal with you I know' though she will always love him 'Though the love has always been'

'So I try to say good-bye my friend Id like to leave you with something more But never ever been a blue calm sea I have always been a storm' Shes tried to be calm in the situation but she can't cause thats just not her maybe she would like to be on good terms with him but she is just to affected by the break up for it to end 'calm' with no hard feelings.

'We were frail' this could be referring to her and mick it was a 'frail' relationship because it was an affair She said "every night he will break your heart" maybe a friend had told her to stay away as they knew it was risky 'I should've known from the first Id be the broken-hearted' broken-hearted as he left her for sara 'But I loved you from the start Not all the prayers in the world could save us' shes always loved him but theres nothing she can do now because hes with sara

Yeah tis a bit of a choker. Always rememebr falling asleep to this as a kid. I thought, I'd never fall in love becasue the song felt like pain through and through. The idea of someone being a blue calm sea is magnificant, her comparisons of the natural world and emotion in people are way good.

"Landslide" was given a meaning and the purpose by Stevie Nicks recently when she was asked about it. It is her millionaire making song which has so many different versions.

"Storms" is different and relatable to anyone who listens to it. We can be all cool and "calm" on the outside but there is this "storm" within us that sometimes takes control. FM bassist John McVie recalled when Stevie angrily and physically questioned Lindsey for leaving the band which he did for a few years, recording as a solo artist. Nicks wanted to keep the band together as much as possible. "Storms" is as much about Nicks and the turmoil she feels much like "Landslide," obviously both painful and personal songs.

"I have always been a storm" I imediately fell in love with this song from the first moment I heard it. It is so unbelievably sad. I can't believe no one has said anything about this song. Then again not many people commented on other songs. Stevie Nicks writes the most touching songs-she brings something to her music that no one can compete with.

her heartache flows through this very song, and through the listener when played. the most beautiful song ever written. it is a song not known to many, not taken in by all, but thats why it is so beautiful, so fragile, almost secret to yourself. this is the song of my life. "save us... and not all the prayers in the world could save us."

I must agree with the aforementioned sentiments. This is unquestionably Fleetwood Mac's saddest song. The lyrics are moving, the tone is so plaintive, and it sticks with you. Few songs are, from start to finish, this much of a downer. Lines like "So I try to say / Goodbye my friend" and "I should have known from the first / I'd be the broken-hearted" are unfortunately all too familiar to many of us. Quality.

i love this song. just reading the lyrics brings tears to my eyes. its amazing and reminds me of an experience i had with love "and not all the prayers in the world could save us".

This is all too familiar to me now... I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan for what seems like forever, but I've only come to truly understand this song now.

It seems to me to be about the end of a relationship and a friendship (presumably, in Stevie Nicks case, Lindsey Buckingham) "As you slowly go away from me/This is only another test"-- the person is drifting away from you, and you're left with memories of what was and what will never be. But you've got to get through it. "So I try to say /Goodbye my friend"-- it can be hard to say goodbye and lose a friendship when the love is lost. And even though you knew you'd get hurt and your heart would end up broken... "I loved you from the start".

I've always thought this song should've closed the album.

Was this about Lindsey? I'm not so sure. Storms appeared on Tusk, and that was long after they had broken up.

Regardless of the inspiration, it's a beautiful and achingly-sad song.
