All of those crystal circles paid off. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are back to being on speaking terms, several years after an estrangement caused by Buckingham’s firing from Fleetwood Mac and decades of enjoying the most tumultuous (and hot) relationship in rock history. The duo appeared in separate interviews for the latest episodes of Song Exploder, where they discussed the Buckingham Nicks track “Frozen Love,” the album of which was recently remastered for the first time in five decades. When asked if she recalled her first memory of meeting Buckingham when they were teenagers, our songstress relayed the following intel: “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.” Creating that 1973 album, which predated their time in Fleetwood Mac, brought them closer together as romantic partners. “Our relationship was up and down and up and down and up and down and difficult, but at the same time fantastic,” Nicks explained. “And what we were doing was so fantastic, that it was worth putting up with the trials and tribulations of a relationship that’s difficult.”
Nicks still draws comparisons between “Frozen Love” and certain works of literature, likening the song to a sonic version of Wuthering Heights hrs Great Expectations. “A modern-day love affair, tragedies. Because nobody really loves happy songs,” she said. “Certainly, I didn’t, and neither really did Lindsey.” Nicks also admitted that her pronunciation of “fate” in the song does indeed sound a bit like “hate” to certain listeners. “So, that’s not good. I’m sorry, Lindsey,” she added. “I’m calling him later.” The duo last spoke for “about three minutes” at Christine McVie’s celebration-of-life ceremony, which occurred in 2022. But if they wanted to float around the idea of a reunion tour with an extensive shawl budget, that would be all right with us.
