Fleetwood Mac - Sara

Musical Style and Background

“Sara” is one of Fleetwood Mac's most iconic songs, written and sung by Stevie Nicks. The song appeared on the album Tusk from 1979. With a length of more than six minutes (and in some versions over eight minutes), it is one of the band's most atmospheric tracks. Christine McVie's dreamy production, soft percussion, and hypnotic piano chords give the song an ethereal quality. Lindsey Buckingham's subtle guitar parts and Mick Fleetwood's tight rhythms enhance the song's melancholic atmosphere.

Text and Theme

The lyrics to “Sara” are among the most personal ones written by Stevie Nicks. The song contains multiple layers and levels of meaning. It's partly inspired by her relationship with Mick Fleetwood, whom she describes as “a big dark wing within the wings of a storm” Reference is also made to Sara Fleetwood, a close friend and Mick's wife at the time, who helped her with the creative process.
