Stevie Nicks names one song she wanted to be ‘about me'

Stevie Nicks has always put out work after she carefully processed the romantic aspect of things.

However, even though many artists have taken inspiration from her ways of singing about personalized ordeals as well as life experiences that consisted of the perils of others, many of these ideas came from one other contemporary singer of the Fleetwood Mac singer’s time.

Jackson Browne has always held a special place in Nicks’ life, not just with the respect of writing lyrics but also the way he is able to encapsulate the feelings of romance as one of the most blissful experiences one can have.

The Landslide hitmaker learned quite a lot from the 76-year-old musician, such as how to channel such topics in a song.

She told Forbes, “From Jackson, I learned about writing love songs.”

While there are so many songs that Nicks would praise, there is one particular song that is her top pick, Browne’s famous track, That Girl Could Sing.

The song revolves around the themes of appreciation for someone who was there for Browne during the hard times, with lyric going like, “She was a friend to me when I needed one, wasn’t for her I don’t know what I’d done.”

She described the song as “one of [her] favourite songs.”

Stating how she wished she was the muse for the song, Nicks said, “I always wanted to think that, even though I didn’t know Jackson Browne at that point, that he wrote that about me,” adding, “because, ‘Oh, I’m such a cool presence.'”

“When you take, ‘She was a friend to me when I needed.’ And you remember those sentences and even the melody of those sentences,” Stevie Nicks further noted as she praised Jackson Browne’s songwriting in the track, That Girl Could Sing.
