Stevie Nicks — “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)”
(from In Your Dreams
The first reviews on Nicks’ explosive comeback effort — her first original solo album in a decade — have been positively rapturous. (Even Rolling Stone‘s divinely discerning aficionado Rob Sheffield is duly impressed.) I say Dreams flails around for the first four or five tracks in search of its fate, but really stumbles into its own distinct groove starting with this stunner, a tremendously satisfying swath of supernatural romance that lands squarely in Nicks’ sweet spot. (I didn’t even need to read any of the dozens of interviews Nicks has given about this new record to recognize at once that this tune was inspired largely by the Twilight film series, which proves those movies aren’t made just for twelve-year-old tweens.)
