** Little note from the man behind the board...**
Hello. When I mixed it, I tried to imagine what hypothetically this track would have been somewhere in the middle of the session. When not everything is recorded yet, there is basically no drums, but something magical is already happening in it...
My goal was not to prepare the entire READY mix, but to capture the moment when the idea, improvisation and concentration crystallize into THAT SONG.
Maybe...
It's late in the evening, the recording studio is drowning in a warm twilight, here and there are colour illuminations of small lamps and controls. The tapes are rollin'... The members of the band still sit in the studio and listen to Stevie recording the entire vocal line in one take... Lindsay silently strumming on a guitar unplugged...
...and somewhere in space the magic moment is already happening:
Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow of a dragon
Dust woman
Mhhhhhm !!!
...
In an interview for VH1's Classic Album series, Stevie Nicks offered that 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.
