Do you know what song is just INCREDIBLE? I would have to say Fleetwod Mac‘s “The Chain.”

The song has been on my mind since I heard it on the radio on the way back from the grocery store earlier this week. 🤣

That definitely was NOT the first time I heard the song, but it definitely was the first time that I just allowed myself to be immersed in the experience of listening to the song. It’s incredible!

Check out this live performance of the song:

Lyrics:

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)
Chain, keep us together (run in the shadow)
Chain, keep us together (running in the shadows)
Chain, keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain, keep us together (run in the shadow)
Chain, keep us together (run in the shadow)

It’s even more exciting to experience the song when you watch them perform it! They’re so INTO it! 🖤

The song has such INCREDIBLE harmonies, intricate instrumental pieces, and such a haunting tone. I LOVE IT! 🩷

When I was listening to the song this week, I thought about how Our Flag Means Death very artistically incorporated this powerful song in one of their episodes. Check it out:

(If you didn’t get a chance to read my post about how much I LOVE this show, you can check it out here!😋)

I love the way the soldiers drumming in the boat aligns with the introduction of the song.

The song creates such a foreboding tone for this scene! 🏴‍☠️

I love that the intensity of this scene is broken up with a nude pirate running around! 😂

The music paired with the act of the pirates being tied up creates a feeling of dread about the unknown.

This was such a well-done scene! What a brilliant choice to use “The Chain” to tell this story.

Can you think of any TV shows or films that featured this song?

May you be extremely moved by a piece of music this week! 💚

Wishing you well! 🩵
