Lindsey Buckingham - It Was You Lyrics

A very simple and powerful "Hey Stevie, suck it. You're going to die alone. Have a nice day!"

Sweet tune. Great memento for his family.

God bless your passion lyndsey.

this is the same guy that wrote 'go your own way' ? no way!

It Was you !

Oh yeah stevie jealous but hey she gave it up and now she complains how fleetwood mac held her back from being married and not having kids

I love his music and always end up tailing back to this song - such a funky track x

One of my favorite Lindsey songs. A happy song with a very catchy tune.

he like to experimnet,thats a genious at work really,not alwasyhtrowing us the same old bone to chew on,i like this song,he sounds alot happier in this songand seem to see teh future in his ownn right,rock on lindsey!

I love his approach to his abstract songs. All you have to do is relax & enjoy :)-~~

I heard the live version first and it was pretty good. I am not a fan of the video producer at all and the producer of the song... i don't think did a good job either. The song is pretty good actually (if you don't like this check out the live version. I think it is much better.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5EV70R_FGI the song is at 25:40 of that concert.

I love this song!

Terrible! What was he thinking!?

C'mon guys, It's his best song and best video! Genius!

Good on Lindsey! I'm happy to see him happy...I hope it's still going.

I love Lindsey, Fleetwood Mac, and this song. But, I'm not impressed with the video.

Absolutely love this song!

Whether he is aware of what he's doing or not, he is paying homage to the disappointment of his time with Stevie as he salutes his current love & family. It is hard not to feel for him when you know the backstory.

He spends a lot of time moving his voice around in the mix .. spends time at the board one advantage living in your own studio .. I realize this because it makes the difference . Hendrix did this religiously as did George Martin for the Beatles. Using stereo and effects to maximize their sound of simplicity. Before all the technology came about..

I wonder what the image is they keep flashing when they show him playing guitar?

+splendiforouslove I think its or a forest or a jungle. I slowed the vid down to the slowest and somewhere at 0:24 seconds it shows up.

splendiforouslove I agree with Mei ... I believe it's trees, and that it is shot as if the camera/viewer is spinning on a Merry go round, or as if the viewer is spinning around on foot to make him- or herself dizzy the way little kids love to do (because of how fun it feels to get dizzy that way ... by choice, I mean, LOL).

Buckingham Nicks always, but this song and video about Kristen is really sweet. I like how he includes the kids :) 

Happy Birthday Lindsey! YOUR family is beautiful! Much love and all blessings to you!

there was actually a video about a year ago on youtube of him at the 1978 american music awards night. the outfit that carol ann describes in the book is exactly the outfit and hairdo that she has on..and he almost completely wipes out going up the stairs to accept the award with fleetwood mac. his legs were so wobbly and rubbery. i have looked and looked for that video again, but i think it has been removed from youtube. i love lindsay and the entire band, whole heartedly though.

Are you serious? Have you seen the clips of him and his wife and his kids??! He's happy as a pig in shite!! Fair play to the guy! The guy's still making music, has a beautiful wife and beautiful kids...what more does he need? Some ex?? Oh, grow up!!!!

Stevie Nicks probably still figures in his 'creative life', and that is probably not in a good place right now. But recent collaborations with C. McVie are very good.

8i dont think he is happy, he is a strange person with sad eyes. i dont think he ever got over stevie , i guess he never will.

Josie Cortez Oh lord, what nonsense. He is most likely just tired, as so many parents of even one toddler often tend to be - and that's true of Parents in their 20s ... A man who has THREE toddlers but is old enough that he could be their grandfather has that much more reason to be tired!

His eyes have always looked sad, long before he ever had kids and in most photos of him he's never smiling. It's sad really, such a beautiful and talented man. And his videos are hardly watched.

I've seen his birthchart.....his Venus is in Scorpio.....explains a lot......

Yea pretty cool to finally make it to the light at the end of the tunnel. Although the fame thing is always sort of a ball and chain to a certain extent. Night, everybody

I didn't say he married Carol Ann did I? Although they were together for 8 years. I just stated that this isn't Carol Ann in the video, she did do the backing vocals with him in the original, and asked if those kids are his.

No, she is not on this song.

Carol did backing vocals for a song that was recorded for Lindsey's first album Law and Order called "It was I". That was recorded in 1981.

This is just sooo sweet...thx for sharing!!

This obviously is not the original with Carol Ann. He is much too old here and the woman doesn't look like Carol Ann. Are those his kids?

Lily's here!

Love her and watch her grow...

it wont let me post the clip of the grammys link, so heres the title: 20th 1977 Grammy Awards Album Of The Year CSN Fleetwood Mac

@musicloverx66 I just finished reading it too, and I just watched the youtube video of FM accepting the grammy for Rumours-remember how Carol Ann describes Lindsey's out-of-control behaviour there? Well watch it-he looks fine,she looks bitchy, and I think its a telling sign that most of the book is exaggerated and written by a woman with very low self esteem with her own version of events that are far removed from reality.

Nice...!

Genius, that is all

this man is a COMPLETE GENIUS!

Read some of Storrns and it didn't paint a pretty picture. I have no idea how much of it is true, but I also haven't seen any disputes. It saddens me because I have such respect for his musical genius.

Don't believe everything you read...

This always get the greatest response at concerts. We are all so happy to see our Linds happy!! Every one sings it like a sesame street song..for WLL and s. Love ya lins!
