I had a pristine copy of this album in the 1970's. I transferred the album to reel to reel tape and put the album up as I did with all my albums. I always initialed my albums on the inside cover. While I was in the Army my entire collection was stolen. Fast forward to 1996. I found a copy of the album at a flea market and it was my album! It looked like it had never been played since the first time I played it. The best luck I've ever had!!!
Omg!! The first time i heard this was on reel to reel. I was 12 in 72 and babysitting as I always did of course the sound quality was not as good as this now. Thank you for the memories
just think how young they were.. pure genius . when music was everything in life ...no distractions, no social media bs. just sit in a room , be inspired and write.
This is, perhaps, the most important song in the history of Fleetwood Mac. Had Mick Fleetwood not heard this song at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles while looking for a new studio to record the next Fleetwood Mac album, he may never have heard of Lindsey Buckingham and/or Stevie Nicks, and consequently, may never have asked them both to join the band in 1975 when Bob Welch left suddenly at the end of 1974. Any Fleetwood Mac fan knows the rest is history. Who'd have thought a song that wasn't even a true Fleetwood Mac song would ultimately hold such a place in music history. It's hard to imagine the Rock and Roll landscape without the "White Album," Rumours, Tusk, Tango in the Night, and so on. Thanks Mick...you had the wherewithal to ask Lindsey and Stevie to join you, John and Chris. Can't fathom the music scene for the past 45+ years without contributions from the 5 of you. Well Done!
Minor correction to the correction...it was MR. Lindsey who was initially asked to join, and it was on the condition that MISS Stevie (derivative of Stephanie) was accepted as well. Coincidental that Mystery to Me was released the same year as Buckingham Nicks, 1973, and many critics of the era, as well as many fans, thought Mystery was to have been Fleetwood Mac's breakthrough album. Foreshadowing, perhaps?
jlalewicz Stevie hated Lindsey and gave the band an ultimatum, either him or me. With that kind of hate she never did get over him. He wanted a family and she did not, hence the abortion she had with Don Henley’s child.
Stevie and Lindsey were really great on their own and can you even imagine that Fleetwood Mac would not have wanted Stevie because they already had a female voice? I mean, wow.
Beyond the original vinyl release, this album was never officially re-released in any other format, which is why it isn't on any streaming services, and any/all digital versions are "bootleg"
If a Fleetwood Mac biopic were to be made, I think this song should play a role in the story. Considering how important this song is in the formation of Fleetwood Mac as we know it.
Mick Fleetwood offered the spot of lead guitarist to Lindsey Buckingham based on hearing this song with Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Buckingham told Fleetwood he'd only accept if Nicks was added to the band as well. That would be a crucial detail to put in a biopic.
Those who don't know there was real music before AI resulted in auto-tune and overproduction. Haters gonna hate. The likes far outweigh the paltry dislikes.
I agree we had a good progressive rock station here in Baltimore that played this! It reminds too, of Crack the Sky a dynamic band that never got much air play west because their record company had distribution problem. They remained in this area an still play in and around here since 1975. Have you heard of them?
I see I commented a year ago. I've probably listened to this song a hundred times since then. Yes, that two part harmony of theirs at the end is simply unprecedented. This has to be my all time favorite song.
as great as Fleetwood Mac is, this song holds a special place for me above all others involving Stevie Nicks...it is magical! The interlude in the middle gives me chills each and every time I hear it. It is so good, it should have taken Buckingham Nicks straight to stardom...but I'm glad they combined their talents with FM. It is when I listen to such a beautiful piece of music that I pity those being spoon fed the mainstream tripe being passed off as music today. Don't get me wrong...there is talent still out there...but you will rarely find it in the top 40
I was introduced to Fleetwood Mac via the Bare Trees album at about age 14. Loved the band all through the 70s and 80s. Now I’m retired and have time (and the internet) to explore everything recorded by FM, Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine together and independently. I knew all of them were talented but I’m coming to new realization and appreciation of just how outstanding they all are. RIP Christine and Thank you all.
Found the vinyl for this in a collection of my grandpas records, had no idea this album existed before. So glad I found it. This is now one of my favorite songs
I love everything by Stevie and everything by Fleetwood Mac totally , it is my most favorite music of all but this period of Buckingham Nicks I just can't get over how amazingly beautiful it is .... I wish they would sing these songs together live again !
Lyrics: You may not be as strong as me And I may not care to teach you It may be hard to keep up with me But I'll always be able to reach you And if you go forward, I'll meet you there And if you climb up through the cold freezing air Look down below you search out above And cry out to life for a frozen love Life gave me you; the change was made And there's no beginning over You are not happy but what is love Hate gave you me for a lover And if you go forward, I'll meet you there And if you climb up through the cold freezing air Look down below you search out above And cry out to life for a frozen love
Fleetwood Mac to me was Buckingham and Nicks..I don't think Fleetwood Mac would have been what they were without these 2. These 2 were the backbone of that band for sure.
That's simplifying things a bit. Buckingham had a huge impact, for sure, and so did Nicks, but Christine McVie wrote quite a few of the bands best songs. In my opinions the members of the Buckingham/Nicks lineup of Fleetwood Mac were all very important. Listen to John McVie's bass on The Chain! And Mick Fleetwood kept it all together, more or less. If someone held a gun to my head and demanded I give them the name of the most important member of Fleetwood Mac I would disregard the gun and answer: Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie.
I like his playing. It’s interesting in a lot of ways, especially rhythms and textures. The emotional arcs, phrasing and dynamics he uses are a bit straightforward but good. Where I think he is limited is his range of melodic motifs. His note choices are very predictable with no surprises or any hints of dissonance - just little clips of diatonic runs up and down and negligible use of arpeggiation.
For those who can relate. Nighttime in the early 70’s AM radio was always always an adventure. I lived in Alabama and was able to hear stations in Chicago, Miami, St Lewis etc… Radio stations typically played the same thing but each would play lesser known artists and b-side songs at night. WLS Chicago was the most consistent and clearest I recall. I distinctly remember my finger supporting the small plastic head phone that was plugged into a battery powered transistor radio. This would have been in my elementary school years. Frozen Love was definitely one of those songs that made it worth the draining the battery for. It was just one of those songs that would be out of place heard in the daytime. Then came FM. I’m a little older, headphones gently hug my skull with speaker for BOTH ears. WOW!
Hello Chris, I relate to everything you’ve said. I remember WLS, that whole album is just a masterpiece. Not taking anything at all away from the rest of FM but Stevie and Lindsey really elevated the band IMHO. RIP Christine.🤎 Oh yeah, nice to hear from another very tuned in Alabamian.🎸
found this album on CD and vinyl the other day in what had to be my luckiest record store stop ever; i’ve been hanging out in my car aimlessly just to listen to it.
LOVE THIS,STEVIE,LISTEN TO YOUR OWN SONGS AND TELL US WE SHOULDNT WANT YOU AND LINDSEY SINGING TOGETHER AGAIN,YOU GUYS ARE JUST MAGIC EVEN BEFORE FLEETWOOD MAC,COME ON YOU TWO,LETS BE FRIENDS ,LETS BE SINGING SOUL PARTENERS THAT US FANS FELL IN LOVE WITH ,BRING HIM HOME GIRL!
If it not for a dear friend of mine I would have never heard this album! And we got to see Fleetwood Mac in concert in 1978! It was great!!! But nothing compares to Buckingham Nick's! Thank you TAMMY WINKLER MORGAN for turning me on to this!!! RIP my dear friend l love you!
This is My first time hearin this, and I'm 58. I frist got introduced to Them through Rumors. Then Years later Playin on KSAN, I heard The original Fleetwood Mack along with George Thergood and The Destroyers. Y'all I was hooked. But this, I got to Find.
listen to what they say to each other, heartwrenching stuff - delivered in a way I haven't heard anywhere else so far. Me being 29 I figure there's still a lot to discover.
I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan and some things I didn't know about because I was young and I didn't know about this album but it sounds remarkable today's standards you could bring it right back out I just believe there's some things on there that the young crowd today would love to hear how beautiful y'all beautiful stuff
Love it. A song burned into my soul. I still get chill bumps. A hot album in Birmingham, Alabama when it first came out. This song got lots of airtime on the radio. I remember at the time wondering:"who the hell are these guys". Well, they did pretty well for themselves.
@@tomreynolds3994 it was on all three stations. K99 was fm the other two were am. When this album came out I only had an am transistor radio. Thats where I hearrd it first.
Thank you Bryan Michael,sir ! I had this Album but my albums were stolen others were destroyed. I thank you for uploading this, my favorite Buckingham/Nick's collaboration!
Who are these 13 back-biters voting this song down? This recording is 46 years old, but if we didn't know differently, we'd think it was recorded last year. The production values are that advanced. This song has 21st-century sensibilities about it. Stevie Nicks was 24 when she penned this, and Lindsey Buckingham the same age a year later when he produced this. Both are geniuses.
I think they should release this song back out today.i wonna see what today's would would think .come on Lindsey and Stevie. just let it back out as a test I think it will make it .
I was already a f mac and stevie fan but growing up in and around bh am Al I heard this at age 12 ...this is why I am such a stevie and Lindsay fan.....
Was lucky enough to snag a first press vinyl a couple years back from a local shop for $40. As much as I'd love to see it released/remastered digitally, there's just something so special about the sound of it on a record player, yanno? This and Stephanie, my 2 favs 🤙
If you’re talking about recent eras (90s-current) it’s because they can’t remember the words 😂 When Lindsey had Stevie on as his guest performer in his Boston special Stevie started singing the first two lines but then said “that’s all I can remember” and she’s the one who wrote the majority of the song. LOL
You may not be as strong as me And I may not care to teach you It may be hard to keep up with me But I'll always be able to reach you And if you go forward, I'll meet you there And if you climb up through the cold freezing air Look down below you search out above And cry out to life for a frozen love Life gave me you; the change was made And there's no beginning over You are not happy but what is love Hate gave you me for a lover And if you go forward, I'll meet you there And if you climb up through the cold freezing air Look down below you search out above And cry out to life for a frozen love
From what I've read, this is the song that Mick Fleetwood heard and decided he wanted to get Lindsey Buckingham into Fleetwood Mac. Of course, Lindsey Buckingham insisted the deal include his girlfriend also joining the band, and the rest, as they say, is history.
For all Stevie’s bitchin’ and moanin’ about waitressing and cleaning to earn some money, while Lindsey just sat around practising his guitar all day, I think that the payoff was worth it, he even insisted that they were a package deal!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful song! It's the first time I've heard it and it really blew me away at such quality and genius! Greetings from Argentina!
Buckingham Nicks were an absolute of mine since 1975. I believe there is also a demo LP with additional songs? Regardless, it feels good to hear this again. Keep up the good work.
This Song will forever remind me of a girl I once loved- the only girl I'll ever love in this lifetime, other than my son's mom, because our love was so intense and burned like the Sun with passion and desire for one another for years, even after all the infidelity, mistrust, and soul-shaltering mental manipulation and abuse we put each other through, she still loved me like nobody ever will again. The years went by, we cheated on each other, she became physically abusive, we split up in December one year then gat back together on my birthday (the 18th) and, after trying for 5 years, discovered she was pregnant during a visit to the ER. She swore the baby was mine, and even though deep-down I knew the child wasn't mine, I trained myself to believe it was and this was going to be our new beginning but a couple of months later we got into an argument and she finally told me the baby wasn't mine and right then and there my love for her completely died and I was heartbroken. I had wanted a child for several years and I always wanted her to be the one to bear it but it turns out thanks had a different plan for me. A couple of years after we split up I slept with this girl that I barely knew that I had met earlier that day and got her pregnant the first time we ever slept together after being with countless women and never getting anyone pregnant she just happened to be the one! It's funny how life works sometimes. My point is it's like the love that I had for her was frozen in time when she told me that child wasn't mine it went from my heart being blazing burning love for her too cold hard resentment towards her. I have since that goes all that resentment and forgiving her for everything she's ever done but unfortunately she hasn't been able to do the same. Now I have a beautiful son with a woman who couldn't be a better mother and I'm very lucky to have her and I have my son the greatest gift anyone could have ever given me! Thank you Lacey I love you!
That was deep. Seriously. Idk why that penetrated something within me but I'm happy for you and your family. Funny how life works, a design. Thanks for sharing!
As a musician, I can well appreciate the time and effort that went into this. The arranging - both vocally and instrumentally - are Lindsey's hallmark which he brought forth to the Mac. As a recording engineer, I find the use of digital delay (very short delay time) on almost everything a bit annoying. I would give anything to get my hands on the original multi-track tapes and remix this. But I believe I know why Lindsey chose to do that. He was very influenced by the Beach Boys, whose catalogue was released by Capitol Records using their phony stereo "Duophonic" process (possibly the most brilliant marketing tool ever conceived in the record business), which made a mono signal sound stereo, even though it was absolutely not, by using very short delay times with the differing signals panned hard left and right. Lindsey possibly wanted to achieve that sound and knew how to do it.
didn't know it was called duophonic. I started doing that out of trial and error (without prior knowledge about the technique) in my personal projects. it sounded like ass
I always wanted Stevie to reproduce Frozen Love in the 80’s .. I realize she eventually did but man would that have been extra special with her 80’s Vibrato!
Can anybody build-up and end songs better than Stevie Nicks. I'm a Stevie Nicks fanatic - but Lindsey Buckingham needs back into Fleetwood Mac. Estrangement is no way to ride off into the sunset.

My late dad had this when I was little. Magical memories. I love Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham so much.
That can't be a coincidence. The album was looking for you.
Amazing story! :0) x
This is the ultimate Buckingham Nicks song.
One of the best songs ever!
As good as anything they ever did with Fleetwood Mac.
we have been absolutely undoubtedly completely fortunate to have been given such beautiful music
This is probably the best song ever made

Joe Smith well said!
Stevie and Lindsey were really great on their own and can you even imagine that Fleetwood Mac would not have wanted Stevie because they already had a female voice? I mean, wow.
This should have been a number one hit song.
Has there ever been a more mythical yet relatively unknown album as Buckingham Nicks? It's legend only grows with time.
Stevie and Lindsay's voice match so well!!
especially on the chorus. it’s perfect harmony ✨
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard in my life ❤
Spotify doesn’t have this song and it really needs to be added so I can put it on my playlist
Parker Johns }}}
Fuck Spotify

tell me about it. One of my favourite albums, never been able to find a decent copy, this is sublime!
most likely taken off, the single 12", probably, a promo only copy, for radio..12" single versions, usually, sound better than, an Album cut..
@@Nosh_Feratu Agreed! I still have my original LP! How do I go about placing you in my Will? Seriously. :)
Agree
Look up Sound City studios. The Neve mixing board helped create some incredible albums.
How could anyone put a thumbs down on this classic?
If you turn your phone upside down you find that it's another like
Only those with Frozen Hate.
Those who don't know there was real music before AI resulted in auto-tune and overproduction. Haters gonna hate. The likes far outweigh the paltry dislikes.
this is simply a....masterpiece
No wonder Mick invited Lindsey to join FM. Such a shame this song isn’t really known outside fan circles. It’s absolutely awesome!
I agree we had a good progressive rock station here in Baltimore that played this! It reminds too, of Crack the Sky a dynamic band that never got much air play west because their record company had distribution problem. They remained in this area an still play in and around here since 1975. Have you heard of them?
I absolutely love this album! I have since I was a teenager. It’s 2024, and still one of my favorite albums of all time.
How have I never heard this beautiful song from 50 years ago? And I've been a huge FM fan since the late '70s. It's just absolutely stunning.
They only promote the cheap jingle songs that repeat themselves over and over again in your head.
Omg! My childhood!!!!!❤
Great to read the comments. Thought I was the only one left that remembered this song. Heard it first a thousand or so years ago. Still love it.
That two-part harmony that starts at 5:47 gets me every time. Love it!
Me, too!
Amen to that brother
Epic
I see I commented a year ago. I've probably listened to this song a hundred times since then. Yes, that two part harmony of theirs at the end is simply unprecedented. This has to be my all time favorite song.
How does it still give me goosebumps all these years later?
This song is from a different universe
This is perhaps the best song ever written
46 yrs ago (1973-2019) CLASSIC! I'm so grateful I was born in 1959! Timing is EVERYTHING!
Love this song, especially Lindsey’s guitar solo. It starts out more mellow and slow and then it blows your head off! T-A-L-E-N-T!
as great as Fleetwood Mac is, this song holds a special place for me above all others involving Stevie Nicks...it is magical!

You tell em, Tom. What you said is absolute truth!
Never judge a musical era by its Top 40.
To me, my opinion, no Fleetwood Mac album is better than this.

I'm glad you found it too. Spread the word.
This is the song that got Buckingham into Fleetwood Mac, then he convinced Mick to let Stevie join too.
Lindsay's guitar work and Stevie's harmonies are always top notch. Thanks for posting this!
I love everything by Stevie and everything by Fleetwood Mac totally , it is my most favorite music of all but this period of Buckingham Nicks I just can't get over how amazingly beautiful it is .... I wish they would sing these songs together live again !
Lyrics:
You may not be as strong as me
And I may not care to teach you
It may be hard to keep up with me
But I'll always be able to reach you
And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
Life gave me you; the change was made
And there's no beginning over
You are not happy but what is love
Hate gave you me for a lover
And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
Stevies vocal and incredible guitar.
They are pure magic

Why haven’t they ever done this song in concert or re released it with Fleetwood Mac? Great guitar solo and Stevie sounds great! Thanks for the post.
If you’re talking about recent eras (90s-current) it’s because they can’t remember the words 😂 When Lindsey had Stevie on as his guest performer in his Boston special Stevie started singing the first two lines but then said “that’s all I can remember” and she’s the one who wrote the majority of the song. LOL
They also performed it with Fleetwood Mac at a show in 1975, there's audio on RUclips.
You may not be as strong as me
And I may not care to teach you
It may be hard to keep up with me
But I'll always be able to reach you
And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
Life gave me you; the change was made
And there's no beginning over
You are not happy but what is love
Hate gave you me for a lover
And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
I love Stevie Nicks. Lindsey Buckingham, what a guitar player aswell.
Outstanding quality audio for an outstanding song! 😊😊😊😊
whoa, sounds almost like directly miced from the soundboard back then
From what I've read, this is the song that Mick Fleetwood heard and decided he wanted to get Lindsey Buckingham into Fleetwood Mac. Of course, Lindsey Buckingham insisted the deal include his girlfriend also joining the band, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Lindsay’s fingerpicking style gave him so much control over his sustain and dynamics. For mid seventies it was unearthly.
I believe Toy Caldwell from Marshall Tucker also had fingerpicking as part of his style. But yeah, Lindsay is great.
For all Stevie’s bitchin’ and moanin’ about waitressing and cleaning to earn some money, while Lindsey just sat around practising his guitar all day, I think that the payoff was worth it, he even insisted that they were a package deal!
This is the best of them both and one of the best times in my life!!!
One of the very best songs i know, text, vocal and the solo guitaar!
KICKASS........rock on lindsey buckingham
So beautiful! I love this album.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful song! It's the first time I've heard it and it really blew me away at such quality and genius!
Greetings from Argentina!
This is so beautiful I love it so much
Buckingham Nicks were an absolute of mine since 1975. I believe there is also a demo LP with additional songs? Regardless, it feels good to hear this again. Keep up the good work.
What a tough piece of songwriting! This shares a mood with "Wind" by Circus Maximus, back in 1967.
Classic record. Sounds as good today as it did back in the day. Maybe better.
One of my favorite albums EVER.
Love this song! 😀
This Song will forever remind me of a girl I once loved- the only girl I'll ever love in this lifetime, other than my son's mom, because our love was so intense and burned like the Sun with passion and desire for one another for years, even after all the infidelity, mistrust, and soul-shaltering mental manipulation and abuse we put each other through, she still loved me like nobody ever will again. The years went by, we cheated on each other, she became physically abusive, we split up in December one year then gat back together on my birthday (the 18th) and, after trying for 5 years, discovered she was pregnant during a visit to the ER. She swore the baby was mine, and even though deep-down I knew the child wasn't mine, I trained myself to believe it was and this was going to be our new beginning but a couple of months later we got into an argument and she finally told me the baby wasn't mine and right then and there my love for her completely died and I was heartbroken. I had wanted a child for several years and I always wanted her to be the one to bear it but it turns out thanks had a different plan for me. A couple of years after we split up I slept with this girl that I barely knew that I had met earlier that day and got her pregnant the first time we ever slept together after being with countless women and never getting anyone pregnant she just happened to be the one! It's funny how life works sometimes. My point is it's like the love that I had for her was frozen in time when she told me that child wasn't mine it went from my heart being blazing burning love for her too cold hard resentment towards her. I have since that goes all that resentment and forgiving her for everything she's ever done but unfortunately she hasn't been able to do the same. Now I have a beautiful son with a woman who couldn't be a better mother and I'm very lucky to have her and I have my son the greatest gift anyone could have ever given me! Thank you Lacey I love you!
That was deep. Seriously. Idk why that penetrated something within me but I'm happy for you and your family. Funny how life works, a design. Thanks for sharing!
As a musician, I can well appreciate the time and effort that went into this. The arranging - both vocally and instrumentally - are Lindsey's hallmark which he brought forth to the Mac. As a recording engineer, I find the use of digital delay (very short delay time) on almost everything a bit annoying. I would give anything to get my hands on the original multi-track tapes and remix this. But I believe I know why Lindsey chose to do that. He was very influenced by the Beach Boys, whose catalogue was released by Capitol Records using their phony stereo "Duophonic" process (possibly the most brilliant marketing tool ever conceived in the record business), which made a mono signal sound stereo, even though it was absolutely not, by using very short delay times with the differing signals panned hard left and right. Lindsey possibly wanted to achieve that sound and knew how to do it.
didn't know it was called duophonic. I started doing that out of trial and error (without prior knowledge about the technique) in my personal projects. it sounded like ass
digital delay at that time ?
beautiful piece!
I always wanted Stevie to reproduce Frozen Love in the 80’s .. I realize she eventually did but man would that have been extra special with her 80’s Vibrato!
Can anybody build-up and end songs better than Stevie Nicks. I'm a Stevie Nicks fanatic - but Lindsey Buckingham needs back into Fleetwood Mac. Estrangement is no way to ride off into the sunset.
So Agreed
Beautiful. I think these two will go on to great things.
WOw!!!! Esto es música...
