My description is maxed out to the number of characters you are allowed. So I will add this here. I was replying to some of the recent comments while listening to the Cleaning Lady version and these words kept popping into my mind. They refused to leave until I wrote them down. . All your dreams are waiting to come true. They are looking down on you right now as you ponder them. There is nothing they want more than to reach you. That intense, overpowering, impossible to describe feeling is them trying to communicate with you. They want to reach you just as bad as you want them to be reality here. But they will not come without burning desire. Desire that is impossible to express in words. The same desire you would have if someone held you underwater and you were dying. You would struggle with all your might and all your strength to break free of that hold. You would never give up until you broke free or you were dead. Unless you have that same burning desire it just will not work. That intensity, that emotion, that pain is sending a message to your dreams telling them you need them here. Close your eyes every day and visit that special place where your dreams exist. Look around and experience them in fine detail in that other place. Stay in that world for an hour every day. Envision yourself inside your dream. Experience your dream as clearly as if it was reality here. Use your mind's eyes instead of your physical eyes. Your dreams have their own life the very second your thought forms them. They DO exist somewhere else and carry on a life of their own. But they need your help to break through the barrier. Alas, most folks will never grasp this. Until you have that burning, painful, angry, all consuming desire as if you were being held underwater then it will never happen. The intense burning desire for something is what triggers your dream to begin it's journey toward you. That feeling is your dream telling you it is doing it's best to reach you as fast as possible. When you want your dream just as bad as you wanted air when held underwater then it will happen. Maybe not in 1 day or 1 year or even 5 years but I guarantee you one day it will happen. Some dreams are so big they take a little longer. Things will begin to happen that make you pause and wonder. New people and circumstances will strangely come into your life in the most unusual ways imaginable that are meant to advance you toward your dream. That burning desire turns you into a magnet for the things that are required for your dream to break through. . P.S. One week later 7.15.20. Again answering some comments tonight playing Tusk Sara as I type and this old memory I haven't thought of for years kept popping into my head for some reason and wanted to be written down also before it would leave. . Back in 82 or so I started my first business that gave me the freedom I always craved. Around summer 84 I was working my business down in Pacific Palisades by PCH and Sunset Blvd. That day I was walking/bus riding due to my only vehicle was in the shop. Anyhoos, at the end of the day I got tired of waiting for the Sunset bus back into Westwood so I decided to hitchhike. It took about 5 minutes and a sleek black mercedes 450 roadster pulled over. I told him where I was heading and I hopped in. As we drove twisty Sunset back to Westwood we got to talking. He asked me what I was doing out here in this rich ass neighborhood hitchhiking? I told him about my biz and my vehicle and I had just finished working all day. He took it all in, was silent for a moment and then begin to speak. He said he had a PhD in Chemistry and not too long ago he used to live in his van in a parking lot in Malibu. He said it was a simple life and life had thrown him a curve ball. However, he would often drive to the ocean at dusk, park there, and watch the sunset shimmer against the breaking waves. He knew he was a smart man. He knew he did not want to live in his van the rest of his life. He knew the women's cosmetics field was booming at the time. He said he spent the next 6 months in his van coming up with a new line of women's facial and hair care products. He came up with the original formulas in his mind and wrote them all down. He would look at those every day and said he knew it would be a success if he could just make the right connections. Long story short, he ended up meeting the right people, they bought the rights to his formulas, started manufacturing them and that very, very famous product line is still being sold today and he is paid royalties every month. He said he went from his van to his 450 roadster in two years. He told me anyone can do the same thing if they want. They just have to come up with one good idea and roll with it. As we pulled over at my place I got out of the car, shook his hand and thanked him for the ride and the inspirational story. I've never seen him since 84 but that conversation he had with me that afternoon has always stayed with me my entire life. 8.31.20 === This is the version I listened to over and over again since 1980 and this is the version I am listening to right now as I type the following paragraphs. Sara (Live 1980, St. Louis, MO) From the Fleetwood Mac Live Album kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNWga82Il87Nhn0.html It's funny you know, I was doing a few daily chores today and this story kept popping into my head and it also requested to be written down before it would leave. So here we go. Written for the 1% of the 1%. You know who you are. I first heard Sara in the fall of 1979. I fell in love with that song the first time I heard it. I can't even describe it. I bought the album on cassette and wore it out. A year later the FM Live album came out. I bought that also on the double cassette and I wore those out multiple times. I recorded Sara from FM Live multiple times on cassette so I did not have to keep rewinding every 7 minutes or so. I would just let the entire 30 minutes play then flip the cassette over. The year was 1980. When I listened to Sara (FM Live version) at work (had a job where I worked alone all night) my mind would wander to where I saw myself and my life heading and to the huge goal I had set for myself. At the time it seemed so at least. It was a business goal and a large financial goal all wrapped up into one big goal. Big, big goal. For someone making $21 hour in 1980 it was a gigantic, seemingly almost impossible goal. It seemed at times almost illogical but I knew what I wanted. Long before Stevie made it big I am sure she would envision herself onstage performing before a crowd of 50,000 screaming fans. Probably since she was around 14 or 15 or so. Most likely even earlier than that. It took Stevie a while to hit her stride. Her dream did not happen overnight or even within a year. It took a few years. To be honest, more than a decade. For her big dream, multiple decades. In 1975 Stevie turned 27 while achieving worldwide success with the album Fleetwood Mac. From Wiki: Nicks's mother was protective, keeping her at home "more than most people" and fostered in her daughter a love of fairy tales. Stevie had an overwhelming burning desire inner dream and so did I. I thought about my dream every day. I dreamed at night about it. I wrote down with a pen and paper every single day, 100 times, a simple 6 word sentence as if my dream was now a current reality. My thumb and middle finger developed small calluses due to my pen over the years. I can still feel a bit of them today 40 years later. Stevie's big dream came rather quickly. It took Stevie another 10 years after 1975 for her bigger dreams to come true. It has been a lifelong process for her. My big dream did not happen so fast. It took 40 years to arrive. But I knew it would come. I felt it every single day for 40 years. As I mentioned earlier my dream was business and financial related. I love to travel and I love the freedom that owning a business or several businesses gives you. It's not for everyone but since I was 3 or 4 I knew exactly how I wanted to live my life. I always wanted to march to the beat of my own drummer. Well, it took 40 years for that dream of mine to show up. It's a long time right? How many would have given up earlier? How many could exist for 40 years with that dream haunting their minds every single day? My dream was so big I had no idea how it would happen or even how I could make it happen. All I knew for 40 years was that my dream could happen and it would happen and it was already real somewhere but just not yet in this realm. Here is the whole point I have been leading up to for all you 1% of the 1%. Even though that business and financial goal dream took 40 years to finally arrive, it took just 7 more months after that arrival to double. In other words what took 40 years to arrive, only took another 7 months to do the same exact thing I was dreaming about for 40 years! Don't ask me how. I don't know how it works, but I do know it does work. And in the most mysterious ways you can ever imagine. “May you always know the power and beauty of imagination” --- Christine Brooks “The power of imagination makes us infinite.” --- John Muir “There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland.” --- L.M. Montgomery, The Story Girl

If they said they found a 4 day version of this i'd still listen!

In the late 80s I was a security officer for a hotel on the big Island of Hawaii. One evening I was made aware Stevie and some of the band were in the hotel having dinner. Having been a big fan of hers and the band I hoped to at least see her. Later that evening I was making my rounds around the hotel parking area when a small van approached me , as it got closer the front passenger window was being rolled down, as it came to a stop next to me there was Stevie smiling at me. My heart was in my throat, there she was. all she wanted to say to me was hello and wished me a safe and pleasant evening, I said thank you very much and you too. She smiled and said bye. What a special memory for me to have of her. To me it says a lot about her and the others that they stopped and didn't just ignore me and drive past. This song is my favorite of hers and I have played it so many times before and since she stopped and said hello to me. I still see her in my minds eye when ever I listen to her sing this song. So special.

I’m a 48 year old long haul truck driver and I’ve listened to this song more times than I can say, with the windows down, through the desert or the plains or back east. Wherever I am when I hear it I cry

When I was a young girl, I was introduced to FM. I instantly fell in love with Stevie. I vowed that if I had a daughter I would name her Sara because of this song. In 2003, I was blessed with the most beautiful baby girl. Her name is Sara Grace. She is the love of my life ❤️

This is one of those songs from another realm. I'm embarrassed for those who thumbs downed this.

That voice. The way she improvises her melodies. Texture, coloring, emotion. Unbelievable talent.

My beautiful daughter was named Sara after this song, she is 20 now and she is the poet in her mama’s heart 💕

Stevie has a voice like the sound of a distant train on a foggy night, it leaves you longing for something unknown to you.

This song knocks my soul to its knees. Every single time I listen to it. I’m an old man now, but Stevie has been in my mind, my heart, and my soul for the last 50 years. Thank God.

My mom raised me on Fleetwood Mac. Her voice is part of my heart. The music is my home.

Brings back memories of being around 80,s rock clubs and the whole era.....before the world went mad .

This has to be one of the most beautiful and emotional songs EVER

"Drowning in the sea of love.....where everyone would love to drown." One of the finest lines in contemporary music......made even finer when sung by the utterly beautiful and mesmerising voice of its composer.

Ever since mom was diagnosed with cancer, Been listening to this two to three times a week. It’s really healing

I saw Fleetwood Mac in Japan while stationed there in the Navy 1978-1980... After military service I attended college in N.C...and saw Stevie on her Wild Heart Tour July 10, 1983 in the Greensboro Coliseum... During an encore, she bent forward to accept a single white rose from me...That moment in time seemed to last ten minutes and is forever embedded in my mind...

RIP Christine McVie. I can't believe the news I heard today. Thanks so much for your music. You will never know how much inspiration I took from your music. 👼🎹

This is my most favorite Stevie Nicks Song I Had a friend in high school her name was Sara she was a beautiful girl I actually had a crush on her she tragically Died in a car accident when she was 16 many many moons ago Every time I hear this song I think of Sara I am sure she is A beautiful angel enjoying the afterlife.

Stevie Nicks an ageless beauty!

Sara is my 😢favorite Stevie nicks song and of Fleetwood Mac 😊always makes me cry yet I'm in heaven with her voice!!! God bless you!!!

Wow what a gorgeous rendition of Sara. I love Stevie Nicks so much. What an interesting tone of voice and vibrato... she’s like an angelic baby lamb ❣️🙏💥

When she reads all these amazing comments, it must make her cry with happiness she has given us all.

Literally my favorite song of all time. The original release, at the end when she hauntingly sings, “All I ever wanted… Was to know you were dreaming… “ Those are her words - her feelings, describing the tragic loss she endured… losing her baby. 😥 Beautiful song with so much emotion from her.

I just recently discovered stevie nicks and i am mesmerized and i'm astonished by her voice😍

She was so adorable and has that "IT" factor, just like the rest of the band. Not only is her voice and lyrics haunting, but Lyndsey's music is always perfect to set the mood to a song. They're all musical geniuses in that band.

Whatever it is about this song that captivates people, there is no question that its effects are powerful. It is one of my favourites among many by this incredible group.

I have been a fan of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac for over five decades. Fleetwood Mac are up there with the GREATEST EVER. Old fellow now...........BUT I have been BLESSED to experience so much great music in my time on this planet. Stevie has a SPECIAL talent! 🤔🇬🇧

Many people say a certain band is the best to them. But ever since 1975 my favorite bands have always been and will always be FM and the Eagles. I was just a kid (22) then and then and now I sing all their songs with them when I hear/ heard them. Saw both bands in KC in 1975 that was an unbelievable concert. Then just FM in Denver in 1982 I believe. Something about them. Incredible talent. Melodies and words capturing all emotions and dispensing it to the world. Im 71 now but I guess I’m still that 22 year old girl with platform shoes and tight jeans and rocking out to my two favorites, the Greatest Bands ever.

I found Stevie in 1981, and knew this woman is someone I wanted for an older sister! I was 18, she was 33....now we are 60 and 75, and my life is richer because of her. I love not only her, but her family, her dad was the best, always provided for the family, and mom was the best in raising Stevie and Chris. Oh how I wish I could have met her parents, I'm a total supporter for family, and hers was wonderful. I will love Stevie for all Eternity...

She just has “IT” I cannot explain it any other way

Stevie was the generational voice. One that oversteps the normal. Truly GOLDEN

Stevie hit most of us when she sang in the beginning of Fleetwood Mac. She wrote so many great songs. Her voice and story telling is so great. She is so beautiful to boot. Love her fashion. I love that she seems like a very nice person. She gets it and she is "it".

For me is the most beautiful woman! Not only her, but her voice!! Whenever I feel depressed I just play her music...her voice is calms me down, I clean houses like she use to do, I wish I could clean hers some day!!! Love you Stieve!❤❤❤❤

The Year 1977, i was a soldier and lost my Girlfriends. In this Time, i buy the LP "Rumours". My Girl don't come back, but i had my old Fleetwood Mac LP and i love it. When i play it by a Glas with red wine, i think for the best time in my live with my nice Girl. The Voice of Stevie Nicks and Feetwood Mac are so great for Heart Times 💞

One of the most stunning most beautiful women in the world Stevie Nicks is simply perfect and her voice was just as beautiful as she is

My allo time favorte song by Ms. Nicks. I dont' care if this song is 24 hours long, I can listen to it for hours, days, and weeks. Her vocals and lyrics hypnotize me.

Heard this song in the late 70's while in college. I could never forget it. It is incredible. Haunting. I can listen to this everyday. She is an amazing song writer and singer.

Loved Stevie Nicks singing over many years .was thrilled to see her live in Palm Springs in January on my trip from Ireland .She sounds just as good Live .At my age (84) it was a memorable trip and experience.

She was and still is one of the most stunningly beautiful ladies in the world, her voice cannot be touched, followed her and Fleetwood Mac since the start, mesmorised.

What a tune, brilliant vocals by Stevie as per usual! 11 minutes of pure bliss XX

Too much credit given to people who can sing loud. This is a real voice, full of character.

I havent heard this before. PROOF she is a phenomenal songwriter with a hypnotizing voice. Couldn't love her more.

Stevie will always be a beautiful ethereal woman! Loved this version!

It doesn't get any better than this... Thank you, Stevie for providing my life's soundtrack.

I am 61 now. It can be hard for me to listen to Sara for the simple reason it came out soooo long ago and soooo much time has passed. Trying to get my brain around that fact sometimes is very, very daunting since I can remember certain things as if they were yesterday. One of those things is this song. It came out when I was in High School and my mom was leaving Las Vegas where we were living, I was graduating High School and had no idea what I was gonna do. My next door neighbor was a pot head. He gave me a joint (my very first one of only maybe a whole 7 or 8 in my entire life) and one of the few things left in the apartment was a stereo. I smoked that joint, put on the stereo, laid on the floor, put the speakers next to each ear with my head on a pillow. And SARA came on just BLEW MY MIND!!! LOL! It was as if I was transported away. It was so ethereal, so mystical and so MAJESTIC! It is by far my favorite Stevie song (with Silver Spring and Landslide right behind it!) I went on to join the Air Force and am fortunate to still chat with a close friend after 42 years! And he and I love, love, love Stevie! We pour over all of hers and Fleetwood Mac songs and even try to imagine being in the studio with them when they recorded songs like "The Chain" with all of that emotional baggage getting put into such a classic song! It's great that someone took the time to put the long long version on! Although I have been told there is a 16 minute demo of this out there too! (Is that the famous "I don't want to be a cleaning lady" one??) Love to all who still listen and admire this great work from her!!

If you ever come across the 16 minute Sara, please share the work of art.

Boy can I relate as to this song being haunting and compelling and there is just something about it that draws me right in and takes me back to a simpler better time.

The AMAZING, Legendary STEVIE NICKS!! 🙌 There is no one, and will never be anyone like you! 💎🙏 Rock on Beautiful Queen! So much LOVE 🙌🎶💖💖💖

God broke the mold after creating Stevie.

Three live performances I’ll never forget: Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox and Linda Ronstadt 😎👏👏👏🥂

Stevie is definitely the poet in our hearts...

One of those songs you never want to ever end

In my view Stevie's true gift is not a desire to impress her audience but rather connect with others in the deepest way possible. Thank you for sharing this gift.

Stevie is perfection even with all of her imperfections. Never change never stop.

The most magnificent song ever written My Queen forever

This song always makes me feel better when I feel sad . Beautiful gift to this world . Thankyou .😍😍😍😍😍🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

THANK YOU !! I PURCHASED THIS ON WHAT WAS CALLED A DISCO SINGLE ,, IMAGINE A WHOLE ALBUM SIDE THIS SONG !! AWESOME 😊

This song......did Stevie know what she created. The song I carried throughout my life ,it comes with me everywhere . Thankyou

It's " the Heartbeat that Never Really Dies" ! I too have been "haunted' by this Most Beautiful masterpiece since 1979, I turned on the radio.... and there it was played. Immediately, I bought the 2 record set of "Tusk". I still listen to "Sara" and I still "Dream when the Winds are Crazy and reach out to touch Me ! (like now with this Covid-19 pandemic). Who wouldn't want to drown in the "Sea of Love"......Could You Speak a little Louder ? Swallow Your Pride !

Sara has been bringing me to tears for decades. How is that possible?

Possibly the best song she has ever written or song. Lays it all out for everyone to know.

A prime example of what real music was.

I'm 59 and have loved Fleetwood Mac as far back as I can remember -- this is one of my favorites and I absolutely love this extended version. . I always get choked up listening to it. Stevie Nicks is the best.

Love this version thank you .. there is a live in concert version (1983) where she sings Sara so soft and keeps the vibrato going .. it was hauntingly perfect.

Stevie Nicks always makes me smile just hearing her name. I love this long version of Sara. Thank you!

Ten plus minutes of heaven ..... rock on Stevie , there will never be another . SO GLAD I saw this group live , three times !!

people that listen to this song : may it live in your hearts forever !!!!

Stevie Nick's happy 72 Birthday

Oh how wonderful to have heard this and be swept up again by Stevie as I always do...😍

I also named my youngest daughter Sara! Because of this song. She is the poet in my heart!❤

Music is powerful. Some of my earliest embedded memories date back to when I was 3 years old and seem to be associated with certain songs that were playing on the radio rotation at the time. When I hear them there is instant time transport.

Love this song - it wraps itself around you, love the enigmatic lyrics, love Stevie to the max. x

THIS IS THE 70'S AT ITS BEST! LOVE HER!!!

I dated a gal who was a very close friend of Stevie's back in 79-80. Stevie was very involved at the time with Don Henley. She was in a hotel suite with him and a piano and a cassette recorder testing out several songs (some never officially recorded) one of which was a version of Leather and Lace with Don and just an acoustic guitar. It was unbelievably intimate and far superior to the album version. She gave the cassette to my gal friend who gave it to me. I still have it and only perhaps 3 people ever heard the amazing sounds on it. So I can relate to rare.

One of the most beautiful women to ever have walked this Earth . . . and she can sing up a STORM too . . .

Thanks for including a couple current photos of her, too. She's still got that power to pluck the heartstrings of even the coldest of hearts. Peace.

Listening to this song always puts my soul at peace.

Sung with heart shredding feeling, Have loved this song and the woman behind it since 1977 when I first discovered the 2nd incarnation of FLEETWOOD MAC, I have carried the same love of her and this song ever since and will never tier of the sheer beauty it delivers.

This song will always bring a tear to me eye,don't ask me why too many memories of 1979.

She's really an American musical treasure.

She has the most amazing voice. I have never heard a voice like hers. CHILLING... She is a Spell binding performer... The QUEEN.... For sure ..,❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for making this available! "No sorrow for sorrow...." Fantastic lyric I've never heard!

Such a Treasure Trove of beautiful pictures of the Queen of Hearts and her Love songs really tug at a person's heart unless they are Dead~!!! Thanks for putting this together for us Stevie Fans to enjoy~!

The song is hypnotic, you can just get lost in it. My favorite FM tune by far.

i am physically disabled by a car accident 18 years ago since then, music is my support, thanks :-)

Well written. It hits me deeply everytime. I named my Daughter Sarah. 2 June 1994. I was 33...

Fantastic version of a fantastic song .

What a treasure this woman is.

Long version of this amazing song?? Yes, please!!!

Her voice is like a favorite glass of wine.

Thank you Stevie for being such a large part of my life. You are still so adorable.

Beautiful, deep, underrated, Str8 up masterpiece! ❤😢 🔥

I bought so many clothes like this . I paid for vintage and some at the thrift store. you are my inspiration Steve and have been since I was 10, so 44 years, . I love you girl, this song got me through a very poor decision i made. I know I am forgivin and my Sara awaits me., xoxo ty sis ty fir the decades of music, you have always been my fave since1977 and I know I am in your top 10 fans, I love your solo stuff best. xoxo Deb

Beautiful like a heartbeat. A sea of love.

I am the 111 comment, tonight I told the person I see in my dreams, and as Stevie says I think I met my match - He's my match. I confessed my feelings and the world delivered me messages one being a tarot reading I did before I saw him and his brother tonight. It was the world card and this youtube video came on when I pulled it. This song is why I went to the Fleetwood Mac concert which ended up being on their last tour. I swallowed my pride and then opened up my computer after everyone left, I read your comment @LaVidaLocaHomie about dreams and wanting them enough - I know I am on the right track, I am full of love and this is the beginning of my awakening to my dream becoming a reality. Thank you.

This truly an EPIC MONTAGE & Thank You,

Beautiful melodies, incredible vocals. Song about a child...etc

On those days there was love and passion and souls, and people loving people...this song this voice, this woman is all a complete universal sentiment where we all can dwell our heart and more of that think, we all love.

I have always loved Stevie Nicks!

love this song and can not stop playing it
