英國搖滾天團［佛利伍麥克］──軟調搖滾名曲──［Gypsy／吉普賽］

So Im back to the velvet underground

Back to the floor that I love

To a room with some lace and paper flowers

Back to the gypsy that I was to the gypsy that I was

And it all comes down to you

Well you know that it does, well

Lightning strikes maybe once maybe twice

Oh and it lights up the night

And you see youre a gypsy

You see youre a gypsy

To the gypsy

That remains

She faces freedom

With a little fear

Well I have no fear

I have only love

And if I was a child

And the child was enough

Enough for me to love

Enough to love

She is dancing away from you now

She was just a wish

She was just a wish

And her memory is all that is left for you now

You see youre a gypsy

You see youre a gypsy

１９８２年６月　英國天團佛利伍麥克（Fleetwood Mac）發行第十三張大碟［Mirage／海市蜃樓］

這回有別上張較為實驗性的［Tusk］, 專輯走較穩健流行的曲風, 似乎在維持他們的人氣

首支單曲［Hold Me］雖在美國單曲榜拿到＃４　卻沒打入英國榜──雖然電台播放頗高

第二主打是［Gypsy／吉普賽］, 此曲由團員史蒂芙．妮克絲（Stevie Nicks）譜寫兼主唱

此曲靈感來自史蒂芙加入佛利伍麥克前與舊愛Lindsey Buckingham貧窮但自由的日子

本來妮克絲打算放在１９８０年個人首張大碟［Belle Donna］

但因她的朋友Robin Anderson死於白血病, 史蒂芙把歌曲保留給佛利伍麥克兩年後的專輯

佛利伍麥克＆Lindsey Buckingham＆Ken Caillat＆Richard Dashut把它製作成一首節奏輕快的軟調搖滾

MV一度是當時成本最高的音樂錄影帶

［Gypsy］只拿到英國榜＃４６

美國反應較好：單曲榜＃１２（搖滾榜＃４　成人抒情榜＃９）

加拿大＃１６　澳洲＃１７　愛爾蘭＃２５　德國＃３５　荷蘭＃４２

這是佛利伍麥克＆史蒂芙．妮克絲的代表作之一
