It's beautiful, of course. My third favorite song that Stevie wrote. It's about the band trying to keep together "Do you believe in the five?" reflecting her, Buckingham, the McVies and Fleetwood. It also reflects her years with Buckingham. She references "long distance winners." "Long Distance Winner" is the name of one of the more famous songs off of the "Buckingham Nicks" album, along with "Frozen Love," "Crying in the Night" and "Crystal," which Fleetwood Mac would later redo in their "White Album."
But the song is much broader, it's about any group that's trying to keep together despite the weight of the world. It's about trying to come together and remember why they were fighting for something in the first place.
@adaminoacids32 I like your idea of the line "long distance winners" but in that case I think it has different meaning. While "Long Distance Winner" is about Lindsley's toxic treatment towards her, in this song she calls the rest of the band the "lond distance winners". And I think it makes sense beacuse in that song is "winner" - just one person (Lindsley) while here we have "winners" - plural which could refer all memeber from Fleetwood Mac. And while in "Long Distance Winner" she sings how Lindsley's is unpredictable and she cannot figure him out, in "Fireflies" she sings...
