Every so often, one particular live performance resurfaces in my feed, and I’m always jarred by its rawness: It’s from 1997, and Stevie Nicks looks Lindsay Buckingham in the eye when she sings, I'll follow you down ’til the sound of my voice will haunt you, unleashing 30 years of resentment onto her former partner. Today, many critics and fans consider the album the highest point of the band's career, forcing its members to relive it regularly in interviews even years after essentially vowing to despise each other for all eternity. Songs like “The Chain,” “Dreams,” and “Silver Springs” have become canon in pop music history, and specifically for anyone navigating the wreckage of a broken marriage. Making a divorce album sounds like a masochistic endeavor, sure, but also a healing one.įleetwood Mac’s seminal 1977 album, Rumours, chronicled the ugly end of all five band members' relationships, with Stevie Nicks and Linsday Buckingham’s contentious breakup fueling some of the most gut-wrenching tracks on the album. It’s as if after a divorce musicians are compelled to make something great and special in some way so that the heartache can have more significance-if the art that comes from it is truly meaningful, it was not all in vain. And I knew at some point, the Divorce Album would come, and that it had the potential to be a beautiful, cathartic piece of music. It seemed amicable based on their joint statement and interviews that followed, but a divorce is a divorce. He could see me even clearer if I tried to hide from him.But then came the end of the love story of Kacey and Ruston. I think a lot of parents hide things from their kids, as we should in most cases, but I couldn't hide from him. "I was consistent for that one evening, and afterwards just completely fell apart, and I'm not ashamed of that. "That night I put Angelo to bed, when I recorded that, and we actually had a really good bedtime, and stuff like that, and then I fell apart afterwards," she said. The "Hello" singer also revealed the details behind the solo voice note of the song, which she said was a voicemail that she left to her best friend. "Definitely by making that song, it sorted out some of the clutter that was going on in my ability to talk about how I was feeling," she added, calling the process "a big breakthrough." "I was just trying to be clear with him and just be honest with him, but it was intense." 'What do you mean you don't know what you're doing?' You panic, and your whole world would implode," she said, laughing. The "Easy On Me" singer then reflected on a moment in the recorded conversation where she admitted to her son that she didn't know what she was doing. "It is very personal, and he probably will go through stages of hating it when he's a teenager, but it was an important part of the puzzle I was trying to figure out of my life - not the album - so I had to include it." "I wrote it for Angelo, and I wrote it to shine a light I didn't always have it together," she said. In the interview, Adele shared that the song was meant to go through her son's emotional journey during the split as much as her own. The track also includes a candid conversation where the singer explains her and Konecki's split to their son, Angelo, when the child was six years old. In the vulnerable song, Adele reflects on the grief and loneliness following her divorce from Simon Konecki.
