Fleetwood Mac - I'm So Afraid

Fleetwood Mac – I’m So Afraid – Live from Rosebud, 1976.

Lindsey is truly one of the greats and he is very under-recognized for his talents. He is rarely acknowledged for his talents! There are, of course, many who recognize his skill and talent but he never seems to make it on anybody’s “all time” list even though he deserves a place next the greats! Lindsey is definitely one of the best guitarists in the sense that he always does what is right for the music rather than gratify himself with mindless wanking. He can solo like nobody’s business though as this video shows.

Lyrics:
I been alone
All the years
So many ways to count the tears

I never change
I never will
I’m so afraid the way I feel

Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony’s torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die

I been alone
Always down
No one cared to stay around

I never change
I never will
I’m so afraid the way I feel

Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony’s torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die

How I feel
Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony’s torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die
