Not every classic rock song is supposed to have one dictated structure for its entire length. Artists are known to be a bit cagey about their songs, but for every track that\u2019s too personal to talk about, there are at least a dozen more that are absolute nonsense from start to finish. <\/p>\n

Stevie Nicks<\/a> may have taken special care of her lyrics whenever she worked with Fleetwood Mac, but she will be the first to tell you that \u2018Sisters of the Moon\u2019 isn\u2019t necessarily on the same level as Bob Dylan or anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That contrast is part of what makes songwriting so unpredictable. Not every piece is born from deep introspection. Sometimes the priority is capturing a mood or sonic texture rather than constructing a coherent narrative.<\/p>\n

In those cases, meaning becomes secondary to atmosphere. The result might not invite the same level of analysis as more literal songwriting, but it can still resonate just as strongly by tapping into something more instinctive and abstract.<\/p>\n

Then again, nothing really makes a lot of sense about anything on Tusk. Since the band were still high off the success of Rumours, everyone was coming in with their best foot forward, all while making the kind of songs that felt like four different bands coming together to create one album.<\/p>\n

Just when you seem to settle on a theme for the project, another songwriter will come to the table with a completely different idea that throws everything off. While many of the zanier moments on the record come courtesy of Lindsey Buckingham, Nicks had the most solid track record with her songs.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sara\u2019 is certainly among her best ballads, and \u2018Storms\u2019 has a bit more of a moody take on her classic sound, even if Buckingham tried to put his own spin all over it. Even if it were released on a Stevie Nicks solo album, \u2018Sisters of the Moon\u2019 would be a bit of a weird departure for her.<\/p>\n

The mystical side of her sound is there, to be sure, but the lyrics don\u2019t really connect in the same way that songs like \u2018Landslide\u2019<\/a> or \u2018Rhiannon\u2019 do. Then again, Nicks admitted that she threw the song\u2019s lyrics together to get the right sound for the song rather than rehash her personal drama.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Rolling Stone<\/a> about the track, Nicks said that there\u2019s no real plot to the song, saying, \u201cI honestly don\u2019t know what the hell this song is about. It wasn\u2019t a love song, it wasn\u2019t written about a man. \u2026 It was just about a feeling I might have had over a couple of days, going inward in my gnarly trollness. Makes no sense. Perfect for this record\u201d.<\/p>\n

While this may not have worked as a Stevie Nicks song, it works perfectly as a Fleetwood Mac track. Birthed from jamming on the changes while in the studio, the band conjures up the same feelings as they did while working on tracks like \u2018The Chain\u2019, eventually putting together the best of everyone\u2019s abilities and putting them under one roof.<\/p>\n

Considering the problems going on behind the scenes, \u2018Sisters of the Moon\u2019 feels like one of the few times where the band were on the same page making Tusk. The rest of the songs may have a strange feel to them, but this was the first time the band stopped trying to make their next big artistic statement and played just for the love of playing. <\/p>\n

Mick Fleetwood would also consider the song to be one of the highlights of the band\u2019s career, even if the lyrics weren\u2019t all that comprehensible. For all of the different sonic avenues that the song goes down, it almost doesn\u2019t need to be understood on that deep a level. As Nicks said, it\u2019s more about a feeling than anything else, and sometimes music can conjure up emotions that words never could. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
