Exclusive Listen: Stevie Nicks Returns With Romantic 'In Your Dreams'

This stream is no longer avaliable.

In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks' first solo album in a decade, finds the Fleetwood Mac singer in fine form as she returns to familiar themes of mysticism and romance. Nicks finds storytelling inspiration everywhere, from the Twilight series on the gothic ballad "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)" and Edgar Allan Poe on the epic "Annabel Lee," to her own past on the revived Rumours outtake "Secret Love." Her voice is a bit weathered with age, but she still sounds remarkably distinct and vital, particularly on the rocking title track and the wistful finale "Italian Summer." In Your Dreams won't be in shops until May 3rd, but you can stream the album in full now. If you pre-order the disc from Barnes & Noble, you'll get an exclusive bonus track called "My Heart."

“Truly Madly Deeply”

Savage Garden | 1998

"Truly Madly Deeply" is one of the earliest songs written by this Australian duo, but if not for a clever rewrite, Savage Garden's biggest worldwide hit may never have seen the light of day. "'Truly Madly Deeply' was originally a slightly different song that Daniel Jones and I had written and recorded on our first-ever demo cassette that we shopped to labels back in 1994," Darren Hayes recalled. "The verses were exactly the same, but I'm rather embarrassed to admit the chorus did not exist." The Australian duo tweaked the song, and it set a record by staying on the Billboard singles chart for 123 weeks.
