Rhiannon
Fleetwood Mac · Trilogy [2005]
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
a 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 the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
a woman taken by the wind.
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
and who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
a woman taken by the wind.
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind.
Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" stands as a defining track from their 1979 album *Tusk*, embodying the band's transition into a more psychedelic and experimental phase. Recorded during a period of significant lineup changes and artistic evolution, the song features the band's signature blend of rock, folk, and soul influences, driven by Lindsey Buckingham's driving guitar work and Mick Fleetwood's rhythmic foundation. The track was notably reissued in 2005 on the compilation *Trilogy*, ensuring its continued presence in the band's catalog. As a staple of their discography, "Rhiannon" captures the raw energy and melodic sophistication that characterized Fleetwood Mac's work in the late 1970s, cementing its status as an essential listening piece for fans of classic rock and progressive pop.
