I never wanted children, but I had one daughter and during my pregnancy I was so depressed because I just didn't want to be a parent. But when I my daughter was born the overwhelming feeling of love I felt was incredible and something I didn't expect. I finally got it what it was to love something so much that it completed me and that I would die for my beautiful daughter. This song describes that kind of love.
Beautifully said. I had a similar experience. I didn't want to be a parent and yet I felt so much love towards my daughter once she was born. I still love my life before her, but the feeling towards her so special because I didn't expect it
No question! As it is the Fleetwood Mac version is phenomenal...and yet this one beats it still by a country mile! Oh, my God, Stevie Nick's vocals are unreal. So sad how she ruined them over time with smoking, drugs, and alcohol.
This album stands up as well as "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumours" ... the difference is the simplicity of the harmonies and beautiful guitar work by Buckingham. Takes me back! I miss my 20s
Buckingham Nicks. Buckingham and Nicks. unadulterated. This was the peak of their vocals and how well they complement each other. Such a beautiful and romantic song
Buckingham Nicks is so important to me because my dad had the Buckingham nicks vinyl and he gave it to me saying that it would be my first vinyl in my collection and we listened to it all the afternoon, it is something that I will never forget in my life💕
I can always tell if it's a Stevie song, just by the title. Especially her earlier tunes. There's something magical and mystical to them.....'Silver Springs', 'Dreams', 'Crystal', 'Sisters of the Moon'.....all have that special something that Stevie brings to them.
Crystal was written by Stevie Nicks and released on the Buckingham Nicks album in 1973. When she and Lindsay Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, the song was re-recorded with the band and included on the 1975 white Fleetwood Mac album (which I posted earlier but the video was blocked). This is the Buckingham Nicks original version. Despite being written by Stevie, the lead vocals are performed by Lindsay. Lyrics: Do you always trust your first initial feeling Special knowledge holds true, bear believing I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove Like the love that finally found me. Then I knew in the crystaline knowledge of you Drove me through the mountains Through the crystal like and clear water fountain Drove me like a magnet To the sea To the sea How the faces of love have changed turning the pages And I have changed, oh, but you, you remain ageless I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove Like the love that finally found me. Then I knew in the crystaline knowledge of you Drove me though the mountains Through the crystal like and clear water fountain Drove me like a magnet To the sea To the sea
Both are excellent singers but what made them great and unique was Lindsey's talents with musical instrument. On several of the tracks, he played the guitar, bass, drums parts. Plus, he's outstanding with a harmonica.
Really tried to get into Stevie’s more recent deep and nasal vocals. I dont know if it is due to ageing or if she does this intentionally but she has that in the Fleetwood Mac version of this song and I just don’t like it very much. This version of the song is gorgeous and of course Lindsey’s vocals played a huge role too.
I remember buying this album when it first came out and loving the whole thing! That's a rarity....Shortly thereafter, naturally the 'NEW' Fleetwood Mac hit, and man, was I on board for that!
Do you always trust your first initial feeling Special knowledge holds true, bears believing I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove Like the love that had finally, finally found me Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you Drove me through the mountains Through the crystal like and clear water fountain Drove me like a magnet To the sea How the faces of love have changed turning the pages And I have changed, oh, but you, you remain ageless I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove Like the love that had finally, finally found me Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you Drove me through the mountains Through the crystal like and clear water fountain Drove me like a magnet To the sea
Fun fact.. this version is in the key of F and the FM 1975 version is in G. That's a whole step up. So if you listen to them back to back, or in whatever order, you're likely to like this one better just because it's in a lower key. That's some musical psychology anyway and what it supposedly states.
This is my favorite version, although I love Stevie's version from Practical Magic as well. But this is just exquisite! It's the most beautiful love song.
I had this album in the 80s and it got taken and I searched for years not easy to find found! People are going over to cassettes! But I found the album it again in a old record store in mint condition!! about ten years after that and then I moved and lost so many things along with this album I'm so glad somebody put it on here!❤️ Thank you 🙏
Buckingham Nick's was the 70s. My sister left this album for me when she went to college in the 70s!! I was so young. Buckingham,Nick's was my favorite until Fleetwood Mac years later
im torn! i love both versions stevies backup vocals are magical in tgis version but Lindsay's took his vocals to another level in the F.Mac version...it has a mystical vibe to it...both beautiful versions but time definitely did that song some serious justice
I completely understand. Both versions are great. The Nicks Buckingham version is more simple basic but form the heart. The Mac version is better orchestrated and better produced. And has a power which also has an impact. But both great music.
I heard this version first and I just can't get into the fleewood mac version of this song. There's something about this version (the vocals maybe) that's more powerful and raw.
tripleblue1 I agree this version is much better very tuned down, just lindsay on guitar and him and stevie singing just the two of them sound beautiful together
I like the version from practice magic . Her voice when she says yeahhhh just brings it to another level. And “ I turned around and the water was turning around meee”. And Stevie wrote the song. I would love a reunion with them and they do this song w her singing , him playing. It’s also one I think would sound good now with the deeper voice
I lOved you Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac.. 70s 80s . 90s ..I have seen you many times .. please say his name ..Scott Mattes .. pr. MATT - TIS. he worshipped you and played Fleetwood Mac all through the 70-early 80s.. he had a shrine for Stevie every where he lived Plymouth Massachusetts and flOrida where he died .. Rest In Peace Scott
Stevie's strength as a songwriter was always her lyricism and she never hid it, nor did people who enjoy her songwriting. You don't need to possess complex musical knowledge to write good music...I don't understand why people always try to put these two against one another. Lindsey CHOSE himself to work on Stevie's tracks. He was never forced
I remember reading in the liner notes that had they someone arranging the strings and also the other orchestral arrangement like the horns. Not sure if there was a single device at that time that could reproduce such natural sounding instruments.
One of my all time favorite 's...Had this (Buckingham Nicks) on 8 track...lols...Hard to find these days...Guess I need to look a bit harder !! Hope I can order it somewhere ??? God,he was/is so gorgeous!!! Helluva great guitarist,too !
Lindsey does such a beautiful vocal on this--simply amazing it brings tears. However, Stevie's version in Practical Magic is good but not hauntingly beautiful as Lindsey's. This is also better than the Fleetwood Mac version--Mick Fleetwood was the producer on that version and that's perhaps why it was not what it could have been. Lindsey is the best.
Either Jerry Scheff on bass or Mark Tulin. Jerry Scheff actually played for Elvis in Elvis's later career, and then for The Doors in their later career not too long before this.
Concert, in support of this first LP, was a knock-out (!), front act to Poco, B'ham, Alabama, 1974... Can't beat that... it was total-serendipity... their joining with FM, i lost interest... sad, but true...😂
Why are comments turned off on so many Fleetwood Mac tracks? Only chance to bang on about this song. Belongs with Landslide , Storms , Gold Dust Woman. Just devastating.
First time I have heard this earlier version. It sounds like they hired Harry Shearer (in his Spinal Tap persona) to play bass, thumping away like in "Big Bottom".
Does anyone know what instrument or sound is being made in the outro around the 3:10 mark. It kind of sounds like a horn or something but that could be completely wrong.
I never wanted children, but I had one daughter and during my pregnancy I was so depressed because I just didn't want to be a parent. But when I my daughter was born the overwhelming feeling of love I felt was incredible and something I didn't expect.

beautiful testimony. hope you named your daughter Crystal.
It might be callous to mention Nicks' song for her daughter Sara
me too ,i love my beautiful daughter,thats soul love i think,the connection is hard to ignore and well your a mother
Beautifully said. I had a similar experience. I didn't want to be a parent and yet I felt so much love towards my daughter once she was born. I still love my life before her, but the feeling towards her so special because I didn't expect it
This is the best version of this song, hands down. Such a mystical, romantic tune
No question! As it is the Fleetwood Mac version is phenomenal...and yet this one beats it still by a country mile! Oh, my God, Stevie Nick's vocals are unreal. So sad how she ruined them over time with smoking, drugs, and alcohol.
Yes!

Me Too. Hang in there. Hopefully the best is yet to come. We can pray so anyway.
Just something about Arizona makes this early stuff so tasty.
@@magnificentfailure2390 Please tell more...
Their voices go together so perfectly!
cdemots123 I know...don't they?
@@lisad7788 They should make music together! haha
As Lindsey said: "we did two pretty good two part armonies."
Perfection ❤️
absolutely
Buckingham Nicks. Buckingham and Nicks. unadulterated.
This was the peak of their vocals and how well they complement each other. Such a beautiful and romantic song
Their vocals are unreal and completely other level stuff. It's so sad how Stevie ruined hers with her lifestyle.
Buckingham Nicks is so important to me because my dad had the Buckingham nicks vinyl and he gave it to me saying that it would be my first vinyl in my collection and we listened to it all the afternoon, it is something that I will never forget in my life💕

A beautiful memory of the love Stevie had for Lindsey in the lyrics, and the love Lindsey had for Stevie in the music
I love Stevie and Lindsey so much!!!! Two of my fave people ever. Their music has been healing for me. What amazing artists they both are!!!!!
those beautiful words and harmonies
Can you find a more beautiful song than this? No you cant

Lyrics:
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds true, bear believing
I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove
Like the love that finally found me.
Then I knew in the crystaline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal like and clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed, oh, but you, you remain ageless
I turned around and the water was closing all around like a glove
Like the love that finally found me.
Then I knew in the crystaline knowledge of you
Drove me though the mountains
Through the crystal like and clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
To the sea
@@StarlaSky1 it’s Lindsey
I have always preferred this version. Lindsey s voice so haunting. still in my favorite top 3 albums ever.
I have changed oh but you, you remain ageless. Completely captures this time of my life. We are all ageless in our hearts
This whole album got me through some hard times. I just Love it !
What a beautiful song!
Both are excellent singers but what made them great and unique was Lindsey's talents with musical instrument. On several of the tracks, he played the guitar, bass, drums parts. Plus, he's outstanding with a harmonica.
Such perfect harmony their voices are..in tune. Love these two lovers..their music transcends through time. 💜💛💚
I love this version much better than the Fleetwood Mac one.
That one does have Christine's keyboarding.
It didn't need it.
I agree.
somehow lindsey's voice lends a different touch to the song. more raw and emotional.
Really tried to get into Stevie’s more recent deep and nasal vocals.

@@anikalahmed Her vocals are and have been burnt out from drugs for many decades now.
This song makes me cry. . .literally
you remain ageless
I wonder if that line was a response to "I'm getting older too" from "Landslide", which IMHO isn't nearly as good as this song!
I remember buying this album when it first came out and loving the whole thing! That's a rarity....Shortly thereafter, naturally the 'NEW' Fleetwood Mac hit, and man, was I on board for that!

I bought mine in the 70’s. Sadly it got left behind when I moved from Phoenix 🥲. I always keep my eyes open for it in vintage & thrift stores ✌️.
Those glorious harmonies..."Like a Glove"...
This is one of Stevie's masterpieces.
Someone must be cutting onions nearby, because my eyes are tearing up.
Sorry. I had Taco Bell for lunch.
@@thingfish000 Yes, that must have been it! Go eat somewhere else!
Buckingham Nick's was the 70s. My sister left this album for me when she went to college in the 70s!! I was so young. Buckingham,Nick's was my favorite until Fleetwood Mac years later
Such sublime beauty in this song that it’s almost impossible to believe human cruelty or pain exists
Really sad how all ended between these two.
It makes me sad to.

DEFINITELY MT FRIEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tripleblue1 Disagree
tripleblue1 I heard the FM version first, but this version is much betrer anyways! So raw, in a way that perfectly embodies the talent of these two.
tripleblue1 I agree this version is much better very tuned down, just lindsay on guitar and him and stevie singing just the two of them sound beautiful together
I like the one Stevie did by herself on the practical magic album,adds more poignancy imo (feel the same way about the live version of landslide).
I love stevie nicks !!!!!
I like the version from practice magic . Her voice when she says yeahhhh just brings it to another level. And “ I turned around and the water was turning around meee”. And Stevie wrote the song. I would love a reunion with them and they do this song w her singing , him playing. It’s also one I think would sound good now with the deeper voice
fantastic song..to the sea
This song is so precious OMG
Fantastic song! TIMELESS ! 😀👍🏾
I can not get enough of listening to
Beautiful...I just love this song!
I still can't decide which version is my favourite- Buckingham Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie... they're all beautiful.
Like all 3 versions too !
I still love stevie's cover
Stevie wrote this beautiful song.
I know, and I wish she had sung it. Her old voice and this song would have been beautiful
Jackie R. She sang it again for a movie called Practical Magic in the 90s :)
@@ArtieFufkin546 I'm guessing he developed the music a lot, but the lyrics are undeniably Stevie's.
@@russkiydeutsch990 That was the third time. Unfortunately she sounds like a goat in it because of her previous lifestyle. So devastating.
@@jackie9397 Nope LIndsey did a GREAT job
Epic song
Adore this version.
It's the most supreme one. And that's saying something because the Fleetwood Mac version is phenomenal itself.
Thanks. Time machine. Stevie’s voice was so strong then. They should make a movie about this time period and their life.
not as long as either of these two are alive
Beautiful just beautiful
Pre-curser of big things to come choice stuff big
My favorite song ever.
You will forever be my always T.O.1511❤❤
The best version of this ethereal song
Those harmonies....
They are a perfect storm.
Best version ever!
Beautiful song 🎸🎶🎤
I lOved you Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac.. 70s 80s .
90s ..I have seen you many times ..
please say his name ..Scott Mattes ..
pr. MATT - TIS.
he worshipped you and played Fleetwood Mac all through the 70-early 80s.. he had a shrine for Stevie every where he lived Plymouth Massachusetts and flOrida where he died .. Rest In Peace Scott
Amazing song!
I remember playing it, as well as Crying in the night!
The Fleetwood Mac version is funky, HOWEVER... The Buckingham Nicks is just between two lovers.
#TwinFlamesBaby 🙏
I think this when they still had real love in their hearts for each other. As they got older it changed.
Practical Magic soundtrack brought me here
Right! I thought this was stevies song first, but this version sounds so beautiful too
@@jadisbyers she did write it
No disrespect but Stevie's songs are her babies. She just sings her version with so much soul.
Beautiful
I heard the Fleetwood Mac version first. But since I've heard this, the original, I think it's far better. :) :)
stevies writing is so beautiful
Special knowledge 💓
So much better than the Fleetwood Mac version. Nicks is a brilliant songwriter.
Stevie had ideas, Lindsey knows mixing and production to bring the song to life. His vocals are so beautiful on his and still are.
Stevie's strength as a songwriter was always her lyricism and she never hid it, nor did people who enjoy her songwriting. You don't need to possess complex musical knowledge to write good music...I don't understand why people always try to put these two against one another. Lindsey CHOSE himself to work on Stevie's tracks. He was never forced
If I were you I would do to me what I do to you...Live with Passion!!!
I'm blushing..
Stevie might have writes but Lyndsay toke it another level. Wouldn't b the same if she was lead.
Never knew this originally was sang by these 2 3
I wish she sang this beauty, it suits her so much better, especially since she wrote it. Shame we only hear here older vocals with this song.
Stevie did her own version of this for a film called Practical Magic in the 90’s, it’s lovely :) But maybe you’ve already discovered it in a year!
Juntos eran perfectos, nunca debieron separarse.
I heard it on practical magic.also like that version
Sounds like a harpsichord in the background. Wonder how they got that sound.
Probably with an electric keyboard or a Mellotron. That's how Zeppelin did the flutes on Stairway for live shows.
I remember reading in the liner notes that had they someone arranging the strings and also the other orchestral arrangement like the horns. Not sure if there was a single device at that time that could reproduce such natural sounding instruments.
I think it's a 12 strings acoustic guitar
According to sources, Stevie wrote that one. But you have to admit that Lindsey always did it best.
This song is like the best Eagles song ever, but better than anything the Eagles ever did!
The best !
One of my all time favorite 's...Had this (Buckingham Nicks) on 8 track...lols...Hard to find these days...Guess I need to look a bit harder !! Hope I can order it somewhere ??? God,he was/is so gorgeous!!! Helluva great guitarist,too !

For you blue eyes
First time I have heard this earlier version. It sounds like they hired Harry Shearer (in his Spinal Tap persona) to play bass, thumping away like in "Big Bottom".
ageless like stevie
This came out 50 years ago
I like this version SO MUCH better than the version they recorded with Fleetwood Mac
timeless like stevie
34 tone deaf reprobates on here. Best version ever, fml!
Does anyone know what instrument or sound is being made in the outro around the 3:10 mark. It kind of sounds like a horn or something but that could be completely wrong.
English horn, and I'd LOVE to know who played it.
Of course bucking ham and nicks version
Me too
Wow
I can’t find this on Apple Music for some reason
It has never been reissued so the only official copy of the album you can get is the vinyl from 1973!
well most people are saying they like this version better, I'm gonna dare to say I like the fleetwood mac version better.
but it was a high price
Good version of this song, but I have to say I like the version they did with FM better.
Fender Bass Stevie's version rocks!
You can really tell this is a Buckingham/Nicks cut...
Having just listened to both versions, I changed my mind. This is better than the FM version.
Fender Bass lol
La versión de Fleetwood Mac es mejor, es más nostálgica. El sonido de los tambores, el teclado y voz de Mcvie de fondo, etc.
