  1. Fleetwood Mac Rock on gold dust woman Take your silver spoon Dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I'll pray Wake up in the morning See your sunrise loves to go down Lousy lovers pick their prey But they never cry out loud Cry out Did she make you cry Make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now do you know how Pick up the pieces and go home.

'Gold Dust Woman' is a song from the best-selling Fleetwood Mac album Rumours. It was written and sung by Stevie Nicks and released as a B-side to the 'Don't Stop' single (in the UK) and the 'You Make Loving Fun' single (in the US).

The 2004 two-disc special edition release of Rumours includes two demos of 'Gold Dust Woman'. One demo features vocal melody and lyrics in the coda which would later be developed into the stand-alone single 'If You Ever Did Believe' in 1997, which Nicks recorded with Sheryl Crow as part of the early sessions for her Trouble in Shangri-La album. The track was instead chosen as the theme song for the 1998 Warner Bros. film Practical Magic and is only available on the film's soundtrack album.

Background[edit]

The take chosen for release on the 1977 Rumours album was reportedly recorded at 4 a.m., after a long night of attempts in the studio. Just before and during that final take, Stevie Nicks had wrapped her head (though not mouth) with a black scarf, veiling her senses and tapping genuine memories and emotions.[1] Many unusual instruments were used in the recording, including an electric harpsichord with a jet phaser, which was marked with tape so Mick Fleetwood could play the right notes.[2] To accentuate Stevie's vocals, Mick broke sheets of glass.[2] According to producer Ken Caillat 'He was wearing goggles and coveralls — it was pretty funny. He just went mad, bashing glass with this big hammer. He tried to do it on cue, but it was difficult. Eventually, we said, ‘Just break the glass,’ and we fit it all in.'[2]

Slant critic Barry Walsh described the song as finding Nicks 'at her folky (not flaky) best with one of her most poignant character studies'.[3]

Interpretations[edit]

When asked about the song in an interview with Courtney Love for Spin in October 1997, Nicks confirmed that 'gold dust' was a metaphor for cocaine.

Everybody was doing a little bit--you know, we never bought it or anything, it was just around--and I think I had a real serious flask of what this stuff could be, of what it could do to you...And I really imagined that it could overtake everything, never thinking a million years that it would overtake me. I must have met a couple of people that I thought did too much coke and I must have been impressed by that. Because I made it into a whole story.[4]

In an interview for VH1's Classic Album series, Nicks offered further insight into the song's meaning:

'Gold Dust Woman' was my kind of symbolic look at somebody going through a bad relationship, doing a lot of drugs, and trying to make it. Trying to live. Trying to get through it.[citation needed]
