Band's Electrifying Cover of Fleetwood Mac’s 'Go Your Own Way'

This band's electrifying cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” hits the spot. It has the rare combination of being both sweet and salty… Watch the video to see what I mean. 

The Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way" cover is excellent. The four-member band plays very skillfully as they keep up the pace together. Hearing female-only vocals is also a refreshing touch, as the traditional song is dominated by a male voice. 

Some of the lyrics to “Go Your Own Way” are:

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day  

“Go Your Own Way” Was Written After a Breakup 

The song was written by Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsay Buckingham after he and another bandmate, Stevie Nicks, broke up their romantic relationship. He wasn’t happy about the breakup and felt that Stevie was restless. He implies in the song that she’ll be lonely in the end. In response, Stevie wrote "Dreams"—a song about finding peace with the breakup and making things new again.

“‘Dream’” was open and hopeful, but in ‘Go Your Own Way,’ his heart was closed,” Stevie said. “That’s how I felt. That line, When the rain washes you clean, to me, that was like being able to start again, and that’s what I wanted [for] Lindsey. I wanted him to be happy.”

First to Eleven’s Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way" cover isn’t so much emotional as it is musical. They put all the power into their instruments and voices. It’s a great cover that’s full of energy.

The guitars and drums drive the song forward as the vocalist continues to sing. Classic rock fans will enjoy the band’s slight difference while honoring Fleetwood Mac’s original song. It’s the kind of performance that reminds listeners why Fleetwood Mac’s songs have endured for so long. They’ll always have a place in the rock genre.
