watch the sun rise

If you don't know the song The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, perhaps you live beneath a rock of some kind.  But it is beautiful and unique--the layering of it is so super cool.  It has a super cool feel to it, and was recorded in 1976.  Of note, it was "assembled" (yes, quoting wiki here, but it itself cited its sources) at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California.  And you know that while I myself will never again find myself living in Marin County, I have crazy love for its beauty and I felt perhaps most myself there when I was outdoors.  I love Northern California and its natural beauty.  The people that live in Marin are another thing entirely haha.  But yeah, the drums and the guitar parts were the only parts they recorded in one another's company.  Interesting, eh?  I really love the song.  Plus Stevie is fucking bad-ass.  Here are the lyrics:  

The Chain
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
And if, you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
