THE STORY BEHIND FLEETWOOD MAC’s HIT GO YOUR OWN WAY #shorts

The song Go Your Own Way by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac was released in December 1976 as the first single from their album Rumours. Go Your Own Way was the sound of a relationship shattering in real time. Lindsey Buckingham, who wrote it while breaking up with bandmate Stevie Nicks, said that the lyrics came to him almost as a stream of consciousness, while Nicks has admitted that they angered her so much that she wanted to go over and kill him each time she sang it onstage. For the beat, Buckingham was Inspired by the drum feel of Street Fighting Man by The Rolling Stones. Recorded in three separate studios, the track was developed over a period of four months and completed through a series of overdubs. The song became a top ten hit and appeared on rolling stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
