Stevie Nicks Intimate Piano Solo of ‘Rhiannon’!

A Night in With Stevie

Let’s be real here: Stevie Nicks could sing the theme to Nationwide Insurance and I’d still fall in love with it. However, I’ll settle for this amazing, intimate solo rendition of ‘Rhiannon’ performed by Stevie from the comfort of her living room.

Surrounded by candles and dressed in black, Stevie’s in her element. It’s easy to see where people get the “Welsh Witch” idea from – she’s otherworldly as she belts her way through ‘Rhiannon’ and you feel like you stumbled across something incredibly magical.

Stevie Nicks wrote this on a piano with help from her boyfriend, Lindsey Buckingham.

As much as we love ‘Rhiannon’ and its hold on modern pop culture, it holds a special place in Stevie’s heart as well. The song about a Welsh witch was a huge influence on the image of Stevie Nicks, inspiring her flowing shawls and black outfits she began wearing on stage.

It gave her a mystical look that caught on with her fans – so much that she was even a plot arc in American Horror Story!

This rendition of ‘Rhiannon’ is outstanding – I love hearing just Stevie’s haunting voice in its element, and I’m sure you will too!

+ Rhiannon lyrics +

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

Once in a million years a lady like her rises
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she’s gone
Your life knows no answer, your life knows no answer}

All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you’ve never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

{Bridge}

Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky
Taken by
Taken by the sky

Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind.
