Stevie Nicks and Harry Styles – Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around
Stevie Nicks and Harry Styles – Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around – Live at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, 2019.
Their voices compliment each other so well!
16 years old Harry would have never imagined being on stage with his Idol, singing and playing with her.
The thing about Harry is that he took a step back from the whole modern boy band thing and turned his persona into his own unique style. He incorporates a modern feel with a sort of old school romanticism. He has a wonderful voice and a unique perspective.
The anticipation in the air was palpable as Stevie Nicks took the stage, her signature shawls billowing in the wind, and the audience held their breath in anticipation of what was to come. And then, in a heartbeat, Harry Styles emerged, exuding a youthful energy that perfectly complemented Nicks’ timeless grace.
From the very first note, it was evident that this was no ordinary duet. Nicks’ smoky, haunting vocals intertwined seamlessly with Styles’ smooth and soulful voice, creating a harmonious blend that sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the room. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it was impossible to look away as they locked eyes and poured their hearts into every word.
The song choice itself was a stroke of genius. “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” is a classic rock anthem that has stood the test of time, and in the hands of Nicks and Styles, it took on a new life. They breathed fresh energy into the song while paying homage to its roots, striking a balance that left both young and old fans alike in awe.
But it wasn’t just their vocal prowess that made this performance remarkable. It was the genuine connection they shared on stage, the mutual respect and admiration that radiated from their every gesture. It was as if they were sharing a secret, inviting the audience into an intimate moment of musical magic.
As the final notes hung in the air, the applause was thunderous, and the standing ovation was immediate. Stevie Nicks and Harry Styles had not only delivered a flawless performance but had also created a memory that would be etched in the annals of music history.

Lyrics:
Baby, you’ll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said, “Hey well, what am I supposed to do?”
I didn’t know what I was getting into
Say you’ve had a little trouble in town
Say you’re keeping some demons down
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
It’s hard to think about what you wanted
It’s hard to think about what you lost
This doesn’t have to be the big get even
This doesn’t have to be anything at all
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl
And baby, you could never look me in the eye
Oh, when you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
There’s people running ’round loose in the world
Ain’t got nothing better to do
They make a meal of some bright-eyed kid
You need someone to look after you
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl
And baby, you could never look me in the eye
But why you buckle with the weight of the words (yeah)
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
Stop draggin’ my heart around
Stop draggin’ my heart around (hey, hey, hey)
Oh, won’t you stop draggin’ my heart around? (Hey, hey, hey)
Stop draggin’ my heart around
Thank you, that was fun
