Although we are completely obsessed with the studio/ live version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” it is no surprise that Stevie’s original pitch to the band was anything less than hauntingly stunning with a single guitar behind her. “And if, you don’t love me now, you will never love me again.”. The Chain is a song from Fleetwood Mac's best-selling album Rumours. 'The Chain' is unique in being the only song credited to all five members of the Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac lineup: Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks; this is partly due to the fact that John McVie and Mick Fleetwood are generally not songwriters. The Chain “The Chain” is one of British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac’s most well-known and well-loved tracks from their critically acclaimed 11th studio album “Rumours”, which was released in February 1977. It is the only song from the “Rumours” album that was written by all five members of the band. Sep 27, 2018.

I Can Still Hear You Sayin…The Chain Fleetwood Mac Live
Although we are completely obsessed with the studio/ live version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,”it is no surprise that Stevie’s original pitch to the band was anything less than hauntingly stunning with a single guitar behind her.
“And if, you don’t love me now, you will never love me again….”
The first time we heard this, we were completely shocked! With Stevie’s eerie improv verses before the recognizable lyrics in the released version, we were almost certain it was a completely different song. It turns out that these lyrics are pieces of Christine’s “Butter Cookie (Keep Me There)” and other bits of songs from different members of the band.

Interesting Fact: Stevie Nicks wrote the lyrics about Lindsey Buckingham as their relationship was falling apart. Buckingham and Nicks share lead vocals on the song.
Originally this was recorded in 1977, a decade after the band took off- but the timeless and effortless beauty of these enchanting lyrics sticks with you even after the song’s end, only Stevie could have that type of lasting effect on us…
