Buckingham is a genius. F#7 tuning, moving from the bottom of the neck to the 12th fret, complex chords and progressions, all that and singing next to his once lover… what a musician
I saw him perform this on his solo tour about a month ago. Absolutely phenomenal. His guitar skills are other worldly. He sings with so much emotion and passion on top of it. He’s a genius.
I don't know what drew me to listen to this song today. My life is good. But man...sometimes you just remember a song and need to hear it. I this this is one of the most beautiful, meaningful songs ever written. Not a wasted word. And the guitar...jeez.
i find the same; this song and never goin back just mesmerise me . have to play both.. something needs to hear them inside.. consoling or emotional need
"It's about coming to the terms with the fact that there can be little gain without some loss, and little redemption without forgiveness."-Lindsey. Powerful statement. Heartbreaking and emotional song. Thank you Lindsey and Stevie!
So very sorry for the loss of your beloved! But never say goodbye, the love is still there, you take it with you! Sending you a big hug from upstate NY!😔❤️🩹🙏🏻🕊️🪽
listening to these lyrics makes me wanna cry, not for me , but for them... makes me feel bad that they obviously still love each other yet cant be together. :(
Just saw them perform this in Tampa Friday night, they embraced, he kissed her cheek/forehead & then he walked off the stage with tears; she choked up but no tears. I had front row seats & most of us were in tears as well. My video is no where as good as this one. Will post later- thanks for the share.
This is the ULTIMATE Chord Cutting song. For all those lovers and friends who you thought would be there forever but fell through the cracks of Life, this song is for you. ♥
This is such a beautiful goodbye love song it really goes into your soul. Linsley's guitar playing is off the wall. Their chemistry is amazing & intense their voices are on point - beautiful. It's a hauntingly soulful song. Regardless that they parted, you can see there's still alot of love for each other.
It had to be done for them and the fans. A fitting conclusion to a very emotional situation. Put a line under this and move on. We all will love you for it. With much love to Lindsey and Stevie.!!👍🏻🙏🏼
This song reminds me of my 1st love when I was 19. I'm 58 now. After 3 years of what seemed to be a storybook romance, she wrote me a short and blunt dear John letter, stating no reason for her decision to walk away, and completely disappeared out of my life. I was never able to relive nor recreate the magic and innocence of that relationship ever since. I still wonder about what could've happened to her. Did she get married? Did she have children? Is she even still alive? A few years ago I decided to satisfy my curiosity and run the risk of being rejected by performing an extensive search for her over the web since we live in different countries to no avail. I finally had to settle for the harsh reality that she's gone forever and settle for the cruel fact that what was could never be again. The story of Lindsey and Stevie, how they got together, how they complemented each other, how they created indelible magic, and how their relationship finally came to a head, ending what was an otherwise perfect union will forever resonate in the ether as one of the greatest love stories since time immemorial.
My Lord! Haven't heard that song in a while but that is one of the best songs ever written. Timeless, beautiful, captivating, and haunting. What a performance. Bravo!
💖 This song is so beautiful 💖 Lindsey's guitar, and the beautiful notes that come from it; enhance the lyrics perfectly. It is some of the most beautiful guitar playing that I have ever heard 🎸💕
Lindsey Lindsey Lindsey gosh you are the best musician on earth. You write songs, sing beautiful and no one but on one is better on guitar - AND in your seventies you can still write , sing snd play. This is my fav FM song. Rip Christy - you were the best musician and now one of the best in the Angelic choir! ❤️
Maybe I’m wrong ~ it wouldn’t be the first time - but the way Lindsey & Stevie look at each, I believe they are still IN love with each other. It’s like they forget the audience, it’s just the two of them in that room. It’s sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
There's another live version of this song where Stevie actually cries during it. Someone said somewhere that she was thinking about her mother, who she was very close to, and this song is so beautiful it moved even her to tears on stage. Amazing.
Can't help but cry , to lose the love you thought would always be and the pain it brings. Time doesn't change it, bittersweet memory. Beautifully done!
It's a moment in time that just stands still, the heartache,heartbreak and the loss, I listen to this nearly every day, hard to name a favorite but this is most definitely in the top 5 💜💜💜
Saying goodbye some days to all my mental illness it’s a peaking at Christmas,the worst time for me. Some can be treated I find solace and beauty in music and writing myself . Life is not without its hardships for rich poor famous ordinary. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. I’ve fought the good fight many yrs. Now I’m 62 still fighting, lost my own soulmate to hard living” not me. Sober many years I thank Stevie Nicks as an inspiration for this. Also the first love was the nxt up I see Rhiannon. But I’m kinda switching moods so maybe go off watch another . No diss Tidi LOVE YOU😊
Oh my god this guitarplay is out of this world.The melody is unique.Such a sad song.It,s allways sad when a love ends😪 I,ve watched many concert videos of Fleedwood Mac and the way how Lindsey and Stevie are together on stage,i noticed all the small signs of love towards her, showing how much he loves her.😘🌹
Brilliant work in songwriting etched in his heart- he STILL loves her but he had to let her go- but when they perform togther they cant hide how they feel and thats the only place they can share now- I think they both have healed a lot of hurt- he has moved on- he is married happy and fianlly found some peace- I think she is still lookin her hers but she'll get there!!
Saw them in oslo last night, i never thought i would get the chance to see them live. This was the last song, and i have to admit that more than one tear fell from mye eyes. Beautiful song, lyrics and amazing performers..
Didnt know this song existed, tears in my eyes. I can feel how Lindsey lived thru this one and would never get Stevie back. And the harmonies touch upon classic Everly Bros.
I could listen to it over and over. Has meaning. He made me believe that he loved and wanted to physically be with me. All was a lie when he married another woman. Now I say goodbye to you. Let me live my life
This is the best version. I was listening to this after a break up from a long term relationship. It used to make me cry but now i just find it beautiful to listen to
I just recently came across this song and it is absolutely one of the most unique and beautiful pieces of music that I've heard in a long, long time. The ultra fast and intricate guitar chords by Buckingham brilliantly express a great passage of time, while the much more slowly delivered and intimate vocals help to create something very special.
The guitar work puts him in another category above the norm. I may venture to say the background melody he plays is based on Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. It harmonies with their musical singing of the beautiful lyrics.
This is a great conclusion to a relationship that ended. You have to close a door so that a new one can open. Move on and enjoy what is to come. Love you Lindsey.❤❤❤❤❤
This is a guitarist ... and this masterpiece is an indication that the guitar is the best beautiful instrument especially if it is in the hands of maestro Lindsey Buckingham
So you face yesterday Thinking on the days of old And the price that we paid For a love we couldn't hold I let you slip away There was nothing I could do That was so long ago, yeah Still I often think of you I fall down, I get up And I've always had to fight Everything that was wrong For the things that were right Now I finally found my way Now I know just what to do Once you said goodbye to me, yeah Now I say goodbye to you [Verse 2] It's so hard to find your way When the lies come around Still it happens everyday So don't let it get you down Just a time within a time Just a scheme within a scheme A little world within a world Yes, a dream, just a dream [Chorus] [Outro] Now I best be on my way Before the night turns blue Once you said goodbye to me, yeah And now I say goodbye to you Once you said goodbye to me, yeah Now I say goodbye to you
This live version is a million times better than the album version. The line "Oh I let you slip away, there was nothing I could do" makes me think of a close relative of mine dying before my eyes😔
It was and always has been Fleetwood Mac Destiny, to be here for so long. I dearly Love them. Happy to of survived the 70's and 80's with them. I've yet to see them.I hope so much for One Last Tour, so that I can finally see them.
To my ex husband whom I married in 1977, and divorced in 1984, in the event of your death I will play this song and others on my social media page.. Our 7 year marriage was a disaster, however, if I had it to do all over, I would change my actions and attitude..I have always loved you...

Same thing just happened to me today. Fantastic song ❤️
@@MrSadsack56 absolutely. A genuinely beautiful piece of music
He didn't take leave of the band on his own. Stevie had him snuffed out! I don't care for her anymore!
@@kellylarsen5771. Agreed! I can't believe what an awful thing she did to the entire band actually.
Lump in my throat,that guitaring is out of this world it don't even sound like a guitar, beautiful
I love you both
1963
Absofreakinlutly...!!!
"It's about coming to the terms with the fact that there can be little gain without some loss, and little redemption without forgiveness."-Lindsey. Powerful statement. Heartbreaking and emotional song. Thank you Lindsey and Stevie!
Agree. Beautiful
Lindsey's Intro: "There can be NO GAIN WITHOUT SOME LOSS. And NO REDEMPTION WITHOUT FORGIVENESS." Beautiful...
Poetically speaking.😊
1 song is enough to respond to the entire album of Rumours
Lost my hubby on 11/10/21...I put this on, and I just couldn't stop the song OR THE TEARS...I miss him so much
wow
I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing 💗
Bless you
So very sorry for the loss of your beloved! But never say goodbye, the love is still there, you take it with you! Sending you a big hug from upstate NY!😔❤️🩹🙏🏻🕊️🪽
This is the most beautiful song they ever made together! It covers all relationships in our lives.
What a touching moment. Beautiful song. He clearly wrote it for her.
John Leo a lot of their songs are about each other
I thought the exact same thoughts. That song came from the depths of his soul. I know it touched mine. I honestly buying the CD, for this song alone.
They clearly both love each other 45 years after breaking up. They have made a career out of taking digs at each other.
Silver Springs
Go Your Own Way
2 more songs about their themselves❤
listening to these lyrics makes me wanna cry, not for me , but for them... makes me feel bad that they obviously still love each other yet cant be together. :(
They can now. Lindsey is divorcing
@@SorrentoShoreit takes2 I don’t think Stevie is in.😊
the album version is great but this...this takes the song to another level entirely! So beautifully done.
Yes you can always tell the deep emotions he still feels even when he sings it in his solo shows
Album version is too fast and it loses the emotion that these slower live versions have
Just saw them perform this in Tampa Friday night, they embraced, he kissed her cheek/forehead & then he walked off the stage with tears; she choked up but no tears. I had front row seats & most of us were in tears as well. My video is no where as good as this one. Will post later- thanks for the share.
They were magical and I’d love to see them back together and marry at 80!
Pleae do
@@carolineharrison9288Me too, you can see the love between them
This is the ULTIMATE Chord Cutting song. For all those lovers and friends who you thought would be there forever but fell through the cracks of Life, this song is for you. ♥
Here, Here Well said!
Yep. EXACTLY what I'm using it for.
That's exactly what I'm here for. *snip*
Ie, just about everyone
Unrequited love.
The way this is played sounds/reminds me of butterflies fluttering, with broken hearts. It's just so stunning. I love it.
This is such a beautiful goodbye love song it really goes into your soul. Linsley's guitar playing is off the wall. Their chemistry is amazing & intense their voices are on point - beautiful.

I adore this song, especially at this pace. He’s so breathy and sexy. Beautiful lyrics. Love ya love.❤Kx.
Yes very much still
Very emotional!❣️💕
It had to be done for them and the fans. A fitting conclusion to a very emotional situation. Put a line under this and move on. We all will love you for it. With much love to Lindsey and Stevie.!!👍🏻🙏🏼
Just simply one of the most brilliant songs ever written.
They still love each other
... unutterably beautiful - Lindsey Buckingham is clearly from another dimension.
There will NEVER be another duet like Lindsay and Stevie
So totally true!
one of the most emotional songs and performances.
This is the most mature enlightened song I have ever heard. Very sad and a magnificent way to a long love lost xXx

The story of Lindsey and Stevie, how they got together, how they complemented each other, how they created indelible magic, and how their relationship finally came to a head, ending what was an otherwise perfect union will forever resonate in the ether as one of the greatest love stories since time immemorial.
the connection they have between them....it just makes my heart melt.
the guitar is brilliant
My Lord! Haven't heard that song in a while but that is one of the best songs ever written. Timeless, beautiful, captivating, and haunting. What a performance. Bravo!
Such a heartbreaking song. They have so much love for eachother.
my heart aches for them you can still see love thats still there how sad 2 broken hearts that will never be whole again.
💖 This song is so beautiful 💖
Lindsey's guitar, and the beautiful notes that come from it; enhance the lyrics perfectly. It is some of the most beautiful guitar playing that I have ever heard 🎸💕
Lindsey Lindsey Lindsey gosh you are the best musician on earth. You write songs, sing beautiful and no one but on one is better on guitar - AND in your seventies you can still write , sing snd play. This is my fav FM song. Rip Christy - you were the best musician and now one of the best in the Angelic choir! ❤️
I love this song so damn much. It also hurts listen to it. It's so complete.
You're absolutely right - I can't listen to the album version. This live one is the definitive version for me. So sad and beautiful.
Maybe I’m wrong ~ it wouldn’t be the first time - but the way Lindsey & Stevie look at each, I believe they are still IN love with each other. It’s like they forget the audience, it’s just the two of them in that room. It’s sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
If this song does not bring you tears about past loss & failures (which still continue for me), than nothing can.
There's another live version of this song where Stevie actually cries during it. Someone said somewhere that she was thinking about her mother, who she was very close to, and this song is so beautiful it moved even her to tears on stage. Amazing.
Can't help but cry , to lose the love you thought would always be and the pain it brings. Time doesn't change it, bittersweet memory. Beautifully done!
It's a moment in time that just stands still, the heartache,heartbreak and the loss, I listen to this nearly every day, hard to name a favorite but this is most definitely in the top 5 💜💜💜
Might be the top FM song of All time.
What a magnificent ode to a love lost
I am going to see this band for the first time in my life on Wednesday!!
John Millthorpe sadly that'll be the best Wednesday you'll ever have had
It's an experience you'll not soon forget..
without Lindsey :( ?
I hope it was great

one hell of a love song...
This song is so beautiful I wish I could say good bye I wish I could watch this with out was crying
Natalia Anne Camagna this song means a lot to me this was the song at my dads funeral it's just a beautiful song I love it!
Send love NI .. uk
So much love and respect between those two that they let go for whats easier for both. Beatiful
So beautiful .... emotional .... masterful .... choked! .... 😢🎙💔🎶
Didnt know this song existed, tears in my eyes.
I can feel how Lindsey lived thru this one and would never get Stevie back.
And the harmonies touch upon classic Everly Bros.
I could listen to it over and over.
Has meaning.
He made me believe that he loved and wanted to physically be with me.
All was a lie when he married another woman.
Now I say goodbye to you.
Let me live my life
I just watched this at least 20 times
I wish I could buy this version. It is the most beautiful song, and makes me cry each time I hear it. Thankyou
Whewwwww these two........their voices together.....magical.
They always were the best harmony singers😊
Evokes such sadness for love lost.😢
My first time hearing this song...Say Good~Bye ...I didn't think I had any more tears...Dec.2020
This is the best version. I was listening to this after a break up from a long term relationship. It used to make me cry but now i just find it beautiful to listen to
Wow. What a heart-felt song! Sublime, raw emotion, superbly performed.
Perfect song for him and. Stevie❤😊😊

Unbelivable how much emotions they shared over the last 40 years😥
@never break the chain
Beautiful song.
Remembering all their good times together I’m sure. And the heartbreak.
THIS IS TALENT !...
This song makes you think
This is the very best song Lindsey has written. Perfection ❤
The guitar work puts him in another category above the norm. I may venture to say the background melody he plays is based on Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. It harmonies with their musical singing of the beautiful lyrics.
very astute observation.
... could you link to a passage that shows this ?
TIA
@@gtwhome Nick, suggest you listen to both pieces and then you'll come to your own conclusions.
@@karthurjr i've listened to "the ghost album" all my life (70+ years) and knew there was something familiar about this song. glad you pointed it out.
Lindsey finger picks the notes so they all nicely ring out, unlike most guitarists that use a pick, which is very limiting.
What a Beautiful Song.I Can See They Still Care So Much About Each Other.This Is On My Playlist Now For My Funeral Bless You Stevie Nicks XXXXXXX
I watched this DVD when I was in highschool and was so happy and sad hearing this song. so beautiful.
great song we have all been through it
A great melody played and sung from the heart splendidly.
Very powerful lyrics that bring forth deep emotions in a crystal clear vision! One of my all-time favorite songs
This is a great conclusion to a relationship that ended. You have to close a door so that a new one can open. Move on and enjoy what is to come. Love you Lindsey.❤❤❤❤❤
This is a guitarist ... and this masterpiece is an indication that the guitar is the best beautiful instrument especially if it is in the hands of maestro Lindsey Buckingham
So you face yesterday
Thinking on the days of old
And the price that we paid
For a love we couldn't hold
I let you slip away
There was nothing I could do
That was so long ago, yeah
Still I often think of you
I fall down, I get up
And I've always had to fight
Everything that was wrong
For the things that were right
Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you
[Verse 2]
It's so hard to find your way
When the lies come around
Still it happens everyday
So don't let it get you down
Just a time within a time
Just a scheme within a scheme
A little world within a world
Yes, a dream, just a dream
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Now I best be on my way
Before the night turns blue
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
And now I say goodbye to you
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you
that's what I admire in artists, they can express their feeling beyond words
This live version is a million times better than the album version. The line "Oh I let you slip away, there was nothing I could do" makes me think of a close relative of mine dying before my eyes😔
Lindsey Buckingham’s most genius song. Hits me in the heart every time I hear it.
A song for the ages...truly
Beautiful
Just love this song and listen to that great guitar playing.
beautiful song.
Their love affair never ended.... you can hear it in their songs💕
It’s so powerful and moving there is nothing that hurts as much as loss
They still love each other in this by the looks of it in this, amazing song
Who is watching this in 2020 with tears in the eye.
4 years later too
It was and always has been Fleetwood Mac Destiny, to be here for so long. I dearly Love them. Happy to of survived the 70's and 80's with them. I've yet to see them.I hope so much for One Last Tour, so that I can finally see them.
They are both so awesome love this song 😊

good song lil teary eyed dang, think of few people when i hear this one
WHO seriously would give this a thumb down?????????????
thumbs down to this stupid remark.
i want to see them before i die ,i promise me
i love them so
Stunning…
So Much emotion
I couldn't agree more, so beautifully said.
Im not crying.... you're crying!
Stunning! love it!
Best live version of any song
Reminds me a lot of Empty Chairs by Don McLean. Acoustic guitar. Same sad feeling of loss. Similar tempo. Touching vocals.
Yes, indeed.
Hauntingly Beautiful- you never forget your first love- ever.
1:35....damn that sounds cool as hell
One of my favorite L.B. songs.
