All language subtitles for Fleetwood Mac - A Musical History - Vol 2

# No, ohh. #

Lindsey Buckingham's guitar-playing
is so extraordinary,

so ahead of its time.

Creating those sounds without
a pick - he was a finger player -

but also strums.

It's just mind-blowing.

John's like, you know, he just
stands in the background there

and does his thing brilliantly
and is so intrinsically important

to the sound of that band.

John and Mick, you know, those
two are the... They're the roots

of Fleetwood Mac,
they're the foundations, really,

and the quiet foundations.

Just get on with
what they're doing.

The notion of something beautiful

coming out of something
so horrendous is Rumours.

This was a band who,
the success of the Mac was growing,

they were a hugely popular band.

But as they were becoming
more and more successful,

the band were imploding, really.

You know, relationships
were breaking down.

Rumours is really a break-up album
between Buckingham and Nicks

and also John and Christine,

and Mick Fleetwood was breaking up
with his wife in England.

Almost every song
is about someone in the band.

And they are playing on, and
singing on, songs about each other,

bringing lyrics in at the
last minute because they know

the person in the room
will know it's about them,

and obviously it's complete chaos

and yet those tensions
are the things that make it.

And some of those songs
are quite mellifluous

and they're quite soothing and then
you realise what they're about -

they're about a band
hating each other.

And then to just air that
about each other, it's...

It's a lot of tolerance on each side
to allow it, you know,

and not throw around tools
and just walk out.

# Loving you isn't
the right thing to do

# How can I ever change things
that I feel?

# If I could, baby
I'd give you my world

# How can I
when you won't take it from me?

# You can go your own way

# Go your own way

# You can call it
another lonely day. #

Stevie Nicks is looking daggers
at Lindsey Buckingham because

she wanted a line removed -
"packing up, shacking up" -

which is Lindsey Buckingham
responding to the shock

of Stevie Nicks leaving him.

# Packing up, shacking up
is all you wanna do

# If I could, baby
I'd give you my world

# Open up
Everything's waiting for you

# You can go your own way

# Go your own way

# You can call it another lonely day

# You can go your own way

# Go your own way

# You can go your own way

# Go your own way

# You can call it another lonely day

# Another lonely day

# You can go your own way

# Go your own way

# You can call it another... #

It's a really brilliantly
arranged song.

Backing vocals, for me,
are one of the most magical parts

of making a record and Fleetwood Mac
are an absolute flag in the sand

for how to do backing vocals and
how to sing together as a group.

And the song's got such
a beautiful example of those.

# You can call it another lonely day

# Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

# You can call it
another lonely day. #

Fleetwood Mac have found their way
into my songs.

There's one particular song, Dreams,
which was...

A friend of mine had put on
a mix tape and the tape got stuck

in the tape player in my first car.

It was the first song
on the first side,

so when it went round,
when it clicked both sides,

it came back to that again.

And I must have heard that song
hundreds and hundreds of times.

I went from loving this song
to absolutely hating it,

like really getting on my nerves,
to loving it again.

That's never happened before.

It's always - you love it,
then you hate it,

then it's, "I'm never going to
hear that again."

"Thunder only happens
when it's raining,

"raining, raining, raining," and
it's probably somehow eked out

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

Maybe. Who knows?!

# Now there you go again, you say

# You want your freedom

# Well, who am I to keep you down?

# It's only right that you should
play the way you feel it

# But listen carefully to the sound

# Of your loneliness

# Like a heartbeat drives you mad

# In the stillness of remembering
what you had

# And what you lost

# And what you had

# Ooh, what you lost

# Thunder only happens
when it's raining

# Players only love you
when they're playing

# Say women they will come
and they go

# When the rain washes you clean
you'll know. #

Dreams is a really fascinating song
to me because I don't

really understand why
I love it so much.

Because it's a groove.

It really comes down to the
testament of Stevie Nicks' voice.

And someone else doing it,
it could've been really dull.

# Well, here I go again

# I see crystal visions

# I keep my visions to myself

# It's only me who wants to wrap
around your dreams and

# Have you any dreams
you'd like to sell? #

Great songs come from below
the neck, they come from your gut,

where all these memories and
emotional memories are trapped,

and this is where
your emotional life is.

It's not up here, it's down here.

And if you're going through
really harsh emotional stuff,

it's very easy to go down.

Them going through
these crazy relationships

in the making of that record
is exactly what makes that record.

# Thunder only happens
when it's raining

# Players only love you
when they're playing

# Say women they will come
and they will go, oh, oh

# When the rain washes you clean
you'll know

# Ohh

# Thunder only happens
when it's raining

# Players only love you
when they're playing

# Well

# Women they will come
and they will go

# When the rain washes you clean
you'll know. #

So you've got these kind of
call and response songs going on

between Stevie and Lindsey,
and then on the other side

with John and Christine, Christine's
off doing her, you know,

I guess therapy
of getting it all out through song.

And she comes back with
this brilliantly, kind of bouncy,

breezy song about, you know,
tomorrow's just another day.

It's amazing to think that
these songs came out of that.

The thing for me is like,
is she saying it to herself

or is she saying it to John?

You know, "Don't stop thinking
about tomorrow,"

to herself or to John?

Or to the entire band?
Let's be fair!

# If you wake up
and don't want to smile

# If it takes just a little while

# Open your eyes and look at the day

# You'll see things
in a different way

# Don't stop thinking
about tomorrow

# Don't stop, it'll soon be here

# It'll be better than before

# Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

# Why not think about the times
to come?

# And not about the things
that you've done

# If your life was bad to you

# Just think what tomorrow will do

# Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

# Don't stop, it'll soon be here

# It'll be better than before

# Yesterday's gone,
yesterday's gone. #

Lyrically, it's just a masterclass
in really saying

exactly what you're talking about,
you're not being that veiled.

But you're saying sometimes
quite cliched things

in a way that speaks of
something new, that speaks of

something rawer than just
a regular cliche.

# All I want is to see you smile

# If it takes just a little while

# I know you don't believe
that it's true

# I never meant any harm to you

# Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

# Don't stop

# It'll soon be here

# It'll be better than before

# Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

# Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

# Don't stop, it'll soon be here

# It'll be better than before

# Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

# Ooh

# Don't you look back. #

Before I knew what The Chain was
as a song, that bass riff I knew

from watching Formula 1,
or my dad watching Formula 1.

And then it was only years later
discovering that it was part of

this epic kind of almost opera,
from Rumours, The Chain.

It's my favourite Fleetwood Mac song
because it's so...

When you hear it for the first time,

it takes you here, there
and everywhere,

it's so unexpected
as to where it goes.

For me, I think it's one of
the best songs ever made.

# Listen to the wind blow

# Watch the sun rise

# Running in the shadows

# Damn your love, damn your lies

# And if you don't love me now

# You will never love me again

# I can still hear you saying

# You would never break the chain

# Never break the chain

# And if you don't love me now

# If you don't love me now

# You will never love me again

# I can still hear you saying

# You would never break the chain
