Witch hands crystal ball. Picture yourself in a dimly lit room, heavy with the scent of incense and herbs. In front of you, an enigmatic crystal ball rests on a wooden table, illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The room is silent, except for the faint rustling of leaves in the wind outside. Suddenly, a pair of weathered, yet delicate, hands appear from the shadows and reach out to touch the crystal ball. These hands belong to a witch, a practitioner of ancient arts and occult knowledge.

How Fleetwood Mac’s Silver Springs inspired Daisy Jones and the Six
Footage of the 1997 Fleetwood Mac reunion concert The Dance is doing the rounds on social media, as fans delve into the fictional band drama that plays out in Amazon Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six.
The new series, starring Sam Claflin and Riley Keough, has received mixed reviews from critics due to the quality of the original songs, and the overly slick look of the show and its characters.

The cast have also spoken about how they watched clips of the band themselves, with Claflin citing one moment in particular as a major influence.
The performance in question took place at Fleetwood Mac’s reunion concert at Warner Bros Studios in Burbank, California in May 1997, and showed the band playing “Silver Springs”, the B-Side to their Rumours single “Go Your Own Way”.

Stevie Nicks wrote “Silver Springs” about the end of her romantic relationship with bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. She originally intended it to appear on Rumours but the track was removed by Mick Fleetwood in favour of her other song, “I Don’t Want to Know”.
Nicks has said she was devastated by the decision, telling the BBC in 1991: “I started to scream bloody murder and probably said every horrible mean thing that you could possibly say to another human being, and walked back in the studio completely flipped out. I said, ‘Well, I’m not gonna sing “I Don’t Want to Know”. I am one-fifth of this band.’
“And they said. ‘Well, if vou don’t like it, you can either (a) take a hike or (b) you better go out there and sing “I Don’t Want to Know” or you’re only gonna have two songs on the record.’ And so, basically, with a gun to my head, I went out and sang ‘I Don’t Want to Know’. And they put ‘Silver Springs’ on the back of ‘Go Your Own Way’.”
In an MTV interview the year of the reunion, she explained she wanted the song to let Buckingham know: “I’m so angry with you. You will listen to me on the radio for the rest of your life, and it will bug you. I hope it bugs you.”

Stevie Nicks wrote ‘Silver Springs’ to ‘bug’ Lindsey Buckingham about their breakup
(Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)“I wrote Silver Springs uh, about Lindsey. And we were in Maryland somewhere driving under a freeway sign that said Silver Spring, Maryland,” she recalled to Classic Albums a year later. “And I loved the name. Silver Springs sounded like a pretty fabulous place to me. And uh, ‘You could be my silver springs. ’ that’s just a whole symbolic thing of what you could have been to me.”
She later revealed that the visible emotion and tension in the performance only appeared that night, and hadn’t been present during rehearsals.
“In six weeks of rehearsal, it [performing ‘Silver Springs’ for the MTV special] was never like that…” she told Arizona Republic. “Only on Friday night did we let it go into something deeper. When we went on Friday, I knew we’d bring it out in case it was the last thing we’d ever do. I wanted people to stand back and really watch and understand what [the relationship with Lindsey] was.”
In an interview with the Miami Herald that same year, she also explained that performing the song live offered a form of closure for her and Buckingham: “Well, since that performance I have to sing ‘Silver Springs’ to him almost every day, so Lindsey and I get to do and say things that we wouldn’t get to say to each other in real life.
“It’s like a release,” she explained. “Even now, we don’t talk much, so when those songs come around and are directly involved with our relationship it’s very therapeutic to work that stuff out. This way we get to have closure.”
Performing “Silver Springs” was a particularly special moment, she told MTV, due to it being “kicked off” Rumours 20 years ago.
“I was so genuinely devastated. because I loved the song and it was one of the Rumours songs,” she said. “So I never thought that ‘Silver Springs’ would ever be performed on stage, would ever be heard of again so it, like, and my beautiful song just disappeared. So for it to come back around like this has really been, really special to me.”
(Getty Images For The Rock and Ro)Jenkins Reid told The Guardian in 2019 that the “Silver Springs” performance was a major inspiration for the book and inspired one of the original songs, “Regret Me”.
“That concept of a woman’s right to be angry is absolutely based on Stevie Nicks singing ‘Silver Springs’ at Lindsey Buckingham during their reunion [album and] show, The Dance [in 1997],” she said.
“I have always been very moved by Stevie Nicks singing that song the way she did then.”
Claflin, who plays band frontman Billy Dunne in the series, told Elle magazine that a friend also sent him the performance ahead of his audition for the role: “He was like, ‘Just channel this mate.’”
After being successfully cast, Claflin then sent the clip to his co-star, Keough, who plays Daisy Jones.
“She’s like, ‘Whoa, this is Billy and Daisy,’” he says. “So I think we kind of, in a sense, wanted to channel that through the process.”
“It’s so electric, the chemistry between Lindsey Buckinham and Stevie Nicks, knowing what Fleetwood Mac had been through in that moment and knowing the history behind it and the history behind them as a couple, their relationship, it just carries so much more weight,” he said in a separate interview with MTV.

(Lacey Terrell/Prime Video)The duo attempted to challenge the palpable chemistry between Nicks and Buckinham during the show when their characters perform “Regret Me”.
“They’re on stage and she basically just turns away from the audience and just stares at him and just sings. And he’s like, ‘Oh God.’ And he’s sort of reluctantly staring back at her,” Claflin said.
“And I think that that was the energy that we wanted to basically bring to that song every time they perform it. I think there’s a reluctance that [Billy’s] having to sing it.”
Yet, there is a gracefulness to these hands, a certain elegance that captivates and mesmerizes. As the witch's hands make contact with the crystal ball, a connection is formed. It's as if a mystical energy flows from her fingertips into the sphere of gleaming glass. The ball comes alive, swirling with hues of blue and purple, as if a portal to another realm has been opened. With her hands gently cupped around the crystal ball, the witch begins to see glimpses of the future and the past. Images and symbols dance within the ball, revealing secrets and hidden truths. She interprets these visions with her ancient wisdom and unravels the mysteries of the universe. The crystal ball itself is a powerful tool for divination and scrying. Its smooth surface is said to be a conduit for spiritual energies and a portal to higher realms. It is through the witch's hands that the ball becomes an instrument of insight, a window into the unknown. The hands that cradle the crystal ball possess a knowledge that comes from centuries of study and practice. They hold the secrets of ancient rituals and ceremonies, passed down through generations of witches. They are a conduit for the supernatural forces that exist beyond the realm of ordinary perception. In the presence of the witch's hands and the crystal ball, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and reverence. There is a certain magic in the air, an energy that tingles on the skin and stirs the soul. It is an experience that transcends the boundaries of the physical world and ventures into the realm of the extraordinary. So next time you encounter a witch, watch closely when her hands reach out to touch a crystal ball.
