Stevie Nicks gives Lorde advice on how to “stay in touch with her dreams”

Stevie Nicks has shared some advice for Lorde in a new interview, saying that the singer “just has to keep doing what she’s doing”.During a recent conversation in The New Yorker, the Fleetwood Mac star was asked by actor/writer Tavi Gevinson to answer a question from “my friend Ella [Lorde]”, who wanted to know how Nicks had “stayed in touch with her dreams”.“You know, the last show that Fleetwood Mac did in New Zealand [in 2019], I found out that [Lorde] had come with her parents, and she didn’t tell me she was even coming, so I didn’t get to meet her,” Nicks replied.“I have a moon for her, and it’s in a box with a little note, and I’ve never been able to get it to her.”She continued: “I don’t think Lorde is going to have any problem at all keeping in touch with what she does.

I think she’s just as odd as you or me. She’s a strange girl, and so are we. And she’s a really great writer and she’s really good at doing her own recorded stuff.“I don’t think that any real serious songwriter is ever going to have a problem staying connected to the dream world that allows us to write songs.”Nicks added: “We want to have our serious side and all that, but you can’t take yourself too seriously.

When you keep music in your life, I think it just changes you and pulls you out of a deep hole.“Whenever I’m depressed, I just put music on.

The second I walk into my dressing room, I plug my iPod into my old-fashioned stereo and I just crank the music. That’s just feeding my soul so that I can get ready to walk onstage in three hours.
