Écrite par la légendaire Stevie Nicks, “Rhiannon” est née pendant une période de grande créativité pour Fleetwood Mac. Nicks s’est inspirée de la figure mythologique galloise Rhiannon, une déesse de la lune et de l’enchantement. La composition de la chanson a commencé avec le riff de piano obsédant de Nicks, qui a posé les bases de son atmosphère mystique.
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
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
