The show didn’t fly, but the collaboration did - Nicks says she knew on the spot that she wanted to work with him. Nicks had performed with musician, songwriter and producer Dave Stewart (formerly half of the Eurythmics) on a pilot for a planned TV interview series. When she finished writing “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream),” Nicks stood up and announced to her assistant, Karen Johnston: “I’m ready to do a record now.Īnd she knew just who she wanted to help her.
After the movie she returned to her hotel room and, after 33 years, finally completed the song that would inspire her to make her first solo album in a decade. It was almost like I’d written these words about what was going on in this movie.” Nicks’ original song fragment had been inspired by the alienation she felt after moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 1972 with then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham, two years before both of them joined legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac.
“I started reciting these words during the movie,” she recalls. The movie’s protagonist, teenaged Bella, is feeling lost and alone without her paramour, a vampire named Edward - and something about her reminds Nicks of a song she began writing, but did not quite complete, in 1976. It is December 2009, and Stevie Nicks is sitting in a movie theater in Melbourne, Australia, watching The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second in the popular gothic romance series. Rock goddess Stevie Nicks opens up about unexpected inspiration, a fruitful new partnership and the future of Fleetwood Mac
