Dreams Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
[Intro: Stevie Nicks]
(Mmm)
[Verse 1: Stevie Nicks]
Now, here 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
[Pre-Chorus: Stevie Nicks]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad (Heartbeat)
In the stillness of rememberin’ (Stillness)
What you had and what you lost (Lonely, ooh)
And what you had and what you lost (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham,
Christine McVie
]
Oh, thunder only happens when it’s rainin’
Players only love you when they’re playing
Say, “Women, they will come and they will go”
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
You’ll know
[Instrumental Break]

About Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams from Rumours (1977)
From their top-selling album
Rumours
, “Dreams” was Fleetwood Mac’s only No. 1 hit in the US back in 1977.
The song was written by Stevie Nicks at a turbulent time for the band. She and Lindsey Buckingham’s relationship was coming to an end. Christine McVie was in the process of divorcing her husband, band member John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood was in the process of divorce from his wife as well.
Buckingham’s
“Go Your Own Way”
can be considered a companion piece to “Dreams” as it details the other side of the breakup from his perspective.
Audio engineer Ken Caillat
recalls
the origin of the song,
Most of the material for the album was composed in the studio but Stevie used to get bored, sitting around while all the technical stuff was going on, so she asked if there was a room with a piano to noodle around on.
Well, the Record Plant told her she could use Sly Stone’s studio — a little sunken room that they’d built for him to work in — and one day while we were working on some track, she came in and said, ‘I’ve just written the most amazing song.’ ‘Really? Let’s hear it.’
So, she walked over to the Rhodes — which, like everything else, was always mic’d up and ready to go — and she played ‘Dreams’. Everyone else joined in, she did a guide vocal, and that was the keeper. It’s the only time that ever happened. She tried to redo the vocal again and again, but she could never beat the original. I actually wanted her to beat it, because it had the drums leaking into her vocal mic and, in a couple of spots where she sang softly, I had to ride it up and you could hear even more of the snare. Still, it was a one-off.

How does the song connect to “Go Your Own Way?”
As documented by
Rolling Stone
, Stevie Nicks explained in the 2013
Rumours
reissue liner notes:
Even though
‘Go Your Own Way’
was a little angry, it was also honest. So then I wrote ‘Dreams,’ and because I’m the chiffony chick who believes in fairies and angels, and Lindsey is a hardcore guy, it comes out differently. Lindsey is saying go ahead and date other men and go live your crappy life, and [I’m] singing about the rain washing you clean. We were coming at it from opposite angles, but we were really saying the same exact thing.
