Im begging you to infodump about That Song actually
THE THING IS!!! the thing is that it's the fact that silver springs was mean to be on the rumours album and stevie was so proud of it, and also wanted to give the publishing rights to her mom as a gift, but pretty last minute they cut it because it was too long (only so much you can put on vinyl) and i think if i remember correctly mick informed her of this in a parking lot!! so of course she was rightfully fucking mad. they did put it as a b-side on the 'go your own way' single, but so instead of silver springs being a main 'rumours' song it became kind of a deep-cut and kind of forgotten.
so then 20 years later (1997) they do 'the dance' which is the first album in ten years with both lindsey and stevie and it's mostly the popular hits. but also silver springs (i've reblogged this song so many times already i assume everyone has seen this performance but if you haven't watch it!!!!). but so stevie gets to sing this song she wrote twenty years ago about their breakup right into his face and it's a fucking prophecy that came true!!!! he never got away from the sound of the woman that loved him!!!!!!!!!! cause here they are 20 years later and she's singing this song she wrote fresh out of their breakup decades ago At him with a look that should incinerate any mortal man. like PLEASE i'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you!!!!! she said that this was about the fact that he would hear her on the radio for the rest of his life ("and it will bug you. i hope it bugs you" !!!!!!!!) but not only that they're here still performing together!!!!!!!! they never got away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i ever want to feel anything i watch that video it's the most powerful thing in the world to me. . anyway.
