My Little Survivor
Fleetwood Mac · Other Songs - Fleetwood Mac
You're the one I sleep with at night
You take me in and promise me I'll be alright
You're my little angel down from the heaven above
I can't ask for much anymore,
But you still smile and give me your love
So if you fall asleep tomorrow,
Then I know we can make it through this night
But if you fall asleep as I hold you tight,
You'll have moved on,
Your love will be gone
You're my little saviour,
Hold me close and stare up into the stars
Let me know if you think that there's someone up there
Who still believes in us
After I've lost all their trust,
Just need someone to believe us
So please just fall asleep tomorrow,
'Cause sugar I know we can make it through the night
Cause if you fall asleep as I hold you tight
You'll have moved on, your love will be gone
You were my little saviour,
I was supposed to hold you through the night
But I guess I let you down inside...
You're my little saviour
I loved you
About My Little Survivor
"My Little Survivor" stands as a poignant track from Fleetwood Mac's 1990 album *Behind the Mask*, marking a significant shift in the band's sound following their reunion. Recorded during a period of intense personal turmoil for lead singer Lindsey Buckingham, the song reflects themes of resilience and emotional endurance, characteristic of the band's later work. The recording features a stripped-back arrangement that highlights the raw vocal delivery and lyrical depth, distinguishing it from the polished rock production of their earlier eras. This piece serves as a testament to the band's ability to explore complex emotional landscapes, blending their signature melodic sensibility with a more introspective and vulnerable approach to songwriting.
