"The legend of Rhiannon is about the song of the birds that take away pain," Nicks said in 1980. "That's what music is to me. I don't want any pain." After reading about the Welsh witch Rhiannon, Nicks wrote this song for her, saying, "If I didn't know she was a mythological character, I would think she lived down the street."
