Another Wonderful Post!!!
There are three kinds of dreams (Ok, there are a lot more than three but just go with it please). Those in your sleep, those made while awake, and those sung by Fleetwood Mac. Each deserves their own post so today we are going to focus on the latter. The song Dreams was made at a time in the band's life when everyone was breaking up with someone else. Most notably in this case, band members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were breaking up after a nearly decade long relationship. Left in a recording studio to her own devices, Stevie pumped out this simple, soulful song to process her emotions and that song ended up being one of Fleetwood Mac's most popular hits. As for the song itself, like I said, it's a simple and soulful tune that I enjoy listening to from time to time. That's enough to get it on the wonderful list. That and a joke I came up with a week ago and turned into three days of wonderful posts. That would do it too.

Suck It and See
"That is something that I started writing when we were recording those Submarine tracks. It just sort of came to me that melody and chorus, it’s quite Beach Boys-y which is something I’ve been listening to a lot recently, and always have. We decided to make it the title track quite near the end – once the pedals thing didn’t really come off. When we played it to someone earlier they were asking us about the fizzy drink reference in that where it says “dandelion and burdock” – a lot of people don’t get that and don’t realise what it is. Something I like the idea of is putting colloquialisms where they feel strange – especially in some of the other tunes like the fuzzy, heavier ones, it feels quite funny when you can drop in something very British next to ‘Raw Power’ guitars."

Genuinely, I'm very curious how the symphony is going to cover Conchita's song. So much of its energy comes from how fast-paced and electric the instrumentals are. I mean this is true for a lot of them but Banica's moreso than the others, I think.
