This is a demo from the 'Trouble In Shangri-La' sessions, and it's approximately from the year 2000. The final product ended up being a bonus track on Fleetwood Mac's 2003 'Say You Will' album.
I used all pictures from the Rumours era, just for the sheer hell of it. Plus, Stevie looked gorgeous at this time era. (Not that she doesn't always!)
LYRICS
Isn't just that we cause each other such pain
Everywhere we go now
Home or at play
It hurts my self esteem
It hurts my everything
I am reeling
Oh, it hurts my feelings
Sometimes it was heavenly
Sometimes it was too heavy
Sometimes its just too much for me
I want to run away
Then there are the things
Things that way
The things that me stay so long
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
And they both rushed by
Like a thief in the night
Taking no prisoners
Just like the first time
Adventures in paradise
Just like the first time
Then there are things cast away
The things that make me stay so long
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then
No, I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
I did not understand then
But, I understand now
It's written on the wind
We're not make believe now
A long time like all of us have had a moment where we are listening to a song during heartbreak
I was listening to this one , and I cried to my friend ,”I wish I could talk to Stevie “
She kissed me and said Stevie is make believe , I am real..
She actually was a lemon
I knew in my tears I was right
I should have talked to Stevie
Lol
I love her music so much , her lyrics as precious as gold to me ..
I love poets and magic and everyone that vibes with it
This is one of my favorite songs of hers. I wish she would release it oh, she has so many hidden treasures so she could easily do another Enchanted type box set. Can you imagine what songs she has that nobody knows about??
I've been waiting for tracks like "Mirror, Mirror" for such a long time, not to mention a re-release of the Buckingham/Nicks album! Crying in the Night is such an iconic Stevie song, even though she didn't perform it live during her solo career until 14 Karat Gold. I'd love to see Rock A Little, TOSOTM, Street Angel, and Trouble in Shangri-La in expanded editions, too.
Definitely, another Enchanted type box set wouldn't be out of the question. It has been 22 years since the first, and could you imagine a box set entirely comprised of demos, unreleased tracks, and other rarities? I love her solo takes on tracks that ultimately went to FM albums, like The Chain. So many fabulous (and underrated) tracks that would have been huge hits on her solo work. A piano version of Show Them the Way as a closer for the box set would be epic!
Theres a version of say you will with this song as a bonus track.
No Light, Smile at You (angry version), "Maker of Birds' , 3 of my very favorite songs that were not released .
Many years now. she always touches my soul! Something new touches it every time. She gets it! ❤
Ive nver seen many of these photos. So beautiful.
December Who's Still Listening 🙏 🤘 2019+! My Idol 💃🏼🎧👏👏🙌

My dear Miss Black- when she was almost at the end- I would sing this to her and it would calm her down. I love this song so much. I think I like this version better than the finished one.
ABSOLUTELY FAN-FRICKIN-TASTIC....everything she touches turns to gold.
how Honest! Love Stevie!
AWESOME DEMO! AWESOME PICS! Even lyrics..dang!
This version rocks the doors off the other version! Thanks
for sharing!
I do love the Say You Will version but THIS one.... kill me! I'll die happy
Such a pretty Gemini lady.
Another amazing song of Stevie's, just wish it had made it as a track on Say You Will rather than a bonus track, it defiantly would have deserved to go on the main album
Agreed. Not only should it have been on the main album but I believe it should have been a single released to radio along with a killer video
One of the best photo montages I've ever seen of Stevie!
Stunning version; far better than the SYW one! Within a minute or so if this song I loose myself to Stevie's mystical beauty. Love her to bits x
I just woke up from a dram asking about make believe
Leave it to Stevie
Right on Time
Haven't heard this before! Great! A new one on me! Thanks! 💓
stevie is soooooooooo awesome, still want to be stevie nicks
100 Stars....
Thanks for posting.
love 1:30
Great pictures
She used the "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" quote from A Tale of Two Cities to describe her relationship with Lindsey. Not saying that that's like really brilliant, to use someone else's words in your song/poem, but she probably heard it and thought how it describes her love life, which is kinda neat. She related to it, the way we relate to her words. And it's such a killer quote; I know that it is about the French Revolution but that quote can describe really any kind of "times" you want, the times where there were good things and bad things. And love and relationships are just one of those up-and-down times.
la poète dans mon coeur you love Stevie, you speak French, you appear to be from the Balkans...who are you and are we the same person? anyway, yes, neat choice of words. one of my favourite demos
Stevie's alot better person than you, and hasn't said one mean word about you.....
i loved that she used the charles dickens line it was the best of times it was the worst of times
If Stevie dies before I do, I will get Soo drunk and cry like a baby. :(
I can't even think about that. She's 25 years older than I am.
I LOVE IT OMG YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS GREAT JOB
Love you Stevie
She'd always be the rock queen of all times
Loves it! TY! Big Time........
WOW BEAUTIFUL THEN N NOW ID LOVE TO MEET HER BEFORE I DIE
SHE NEEDS TO RECORD THIS FOR AN ALBUM
I like the pics!!
I'll never stop loving you my queen take me with you my queen you beautiful witch my queen
Does anyone know who played guitar on it? Is it john shanks
I don't know if it's John or good ole Waddy
My god its great to hear this slowed down version but I agree with buzzworthy the other version I prefer its alot more rockin!
Very nice.Thanks for posting. Peace:) Stephanie
Great version, slightly better than the album version in my opinion. When was this recorded ? Sounds like the TISL era...
This is approximately from 1999-2000.
@@SamuelOrru Thanks. Just realized that it's mentioned in the beginning of the clip, not to mention in the info section as well. Guess I had my head in the clouds when I asked that question ! lol !
@@Cicilo1983 You're welcome.
RIP Herbert

Apostrophe abuse!!
@sorcerer1975
i actually like this version better....
I really want this demo version in good quality mp3, anyone no where I could get it??
Thanks for posting.
demo rules vs recorded vers
dragonboy718 no, me gusta otra!
Always demo
Another song Buckingham would go on to destroy (for a Say You Will bonus), by speeding her up so as to sound like Minnie Mouse with backing vocals and instrumental embellishments which are hilarious. He would be far more suited to producing Ricky Martin.
Ian Gordon Craig seen your comment on the "say you will" version. i had to check this one out because, i know the song "planets of the universe" is better as a demo version too and you are right, this one is better
it was disgraceful. Was Stevie helpless? Why did she let that happen? I heard this version before I heard the SYW version, I couldn't believe my ears how corny and silly he made it. Sad!
Thanks for saying this. We may never know the full depth of Stevie Nicks but here's hoping it will come forward now.
first tim hearing this, do not have the version from the updated say you will release...need to listen to that as I love the rhythm....
I agree, really. The wonders that Lindsey Buckingham helped imbue this great song.
@dragonboy718 its fabulous ...
@dragonboy718 there is a proper studio version of this song. if u love this demo, u will totally love the album version. its on " say you will " delux edition ... no one on youtube seems to have it ...
don't anyone have the studio version of this song anywhere ?
It's a bit monotone. I'd say the final version is much better. Still I like it.
Warning-This great demo was ruined by Lindsey Buckinghamnon the Say You Will album.

Back 40 self esteem
Is the worst self esteem
Lol
how could miley cyrus cover 1 of Stevie's songs, what was she thinking?
miley can't sing. what an ATROCITY!
talk about a crime against humanity!
You forgot: "Get off my lawn!" 🤣
it's still a horrible version.
