Silver Springs

Silver Springs Demo (1976)


    Here is the best of both worlds.  We have both a demo as well as an unreleased song.  Silver Springs is a song that never made it on the 1977 Rumours album.  In the midst of recording, it was decided that there was simply not enough space on the album for Nicks' song.  This song is a song that was written about her boyfriend and fellow band mate Lindsey Buckingham.  It is one of the most beautiful breakup songs that I have ever heard.  The original song finally got the light of day when it appeared on their 1997 album the Dance.  The original version has the guitar and percussion pieces, however this demo is simply Nicks on her piano.  The simplicity of the demo ironically fits perfectly with the turmoil of her love life at the time.
