“I’m like, ‘Okay, because I’m so poor that just sitting in this house when you’re looking out at this view is so fantastic, I’m going to write a fantastic song,” Nicks said. “I just happened to bring my Goya [guitar], which I could hardly play, but I thought it looked good so I wrote this song.”
Nicks, 78, and Buckingham, 77, first met as high school students in California before their romance began in 1972. They released their first album Buckingham Nicks as a folk-rock duo in 1973, the same year they signed a record deal with Polydor Records.
Despite being dropped from their label when the album didn’t generate much commercial success, they eventually met Mick Fleetwood in 1974 and later joined Fleetwood Mac, which also consisted of Christine McVie and John McVie. The rest, as they say, is history.
