#7 on my list of the 25 Greatest Songs by @RealStevieNicks "After the Glitter Fades" from 1981's "Bella Donna". Written by Stevie in 1975, when her success as a brand new member of Fleetwood Mac was just about to bloom, this track predicts her future as a musical superstar with amazing accuracy. The lyrics can either be taken with a complete lack of modesty--or, rather, as a pithy reminder of what price we pay for having our dreams come true.

Well I never thought I'd make it here in Hollywood
I never thought I'd ever want to stay
What I seem to touch these days has turned to gold
What I seem to want well you know I'll find a way

For me, it's the only life that I've ever known
And love is only one, fine star away
Even though the living is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright, feeling remains even after the glitter fades

The loneliness of a one night stand is hard to take
We all chase something and maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll woman, while her heart breaks
Oh you know the dream keeps coming even when you forget to feel
