We Found Stevie Nicks’s Favorite Song EVER And It Will Surprise You

It’s Simple In The Night

From her first solo album, Bella Donna, Stevie Nicks shines just as bright as she did in Fleetwood in this rare, live “How Still My Love” performance. Unfortunately, we found some footage of her singing this song live but her mic was not turned on so you could barely hear her…

“This is my favorite song, it’s called in ‘In The Still Of The Night.” – Stevie Nicks

When you listen to this song, if you are a Fleetwood Mac fan, this will bring back old memories as the tune is hauntingly similar to several of the band’s unforgettable songs. Written from a woman’s perspective, the lyrics depict her struggling with the decision to choose the man no one thinks she should get involved with, but somehow things just seem simple between them in the middle of the night…

Interesting Fact: Along with friends Tom Petty and Don Henley, Nicks brought in famed session musician Waddy Wachtel, Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Bandpianist Roy Bittan, and Stax session man Donald “Duck” Dunn of Booker T. & the MGs. 

In this rare, live outtake, you can hear and sense the vulnerability of Stevie’s voice as she ventured on her solo career, trying to recover from a drug addiction and serious exhaustion… The simplicity of the lyrics and the story really makes this one of her greatest and most underrated hits of all time, especially from the Bella Donna album that meant so much to her. Enjoy!

+ How Still My Love Lyrics +

Still the same old story
What price glory
You make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night…
How still my love
In the still of the night…
How still my…

Doing all you can for me
They say you’re not the man for me
Don’t make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night…
How still my love
In the still of the night…
How still my love

Standing… in the doorway
Watching out to sea
Calling out to me
You go… your way
Go on… go on
But you don’t forget me
Ooo no… you don’t forget me
Oooo no… my lonely one
You’re doing all you can for me
They say you’re not the man for me
Don’t I make it easy
In the still of the night
It’s… me… talking to you

How still my love…
In the still of the night…
How still my love…
In the still of the night…
It’s me that’s talkin’ to you
In the still of the night
