The record comes out and I remember that my drums were referred to in a review as the 'cymbal-pinged weirdness.' This made Campbell hysterical. Then, they were like, 'Well, we’ve got this song.' I don’t even know why they put the drums on it. Lynch assumed this was going to be an acoustic track, so he figured he wouldn't be asked to contribute.

Nicks' sister-in-law Lori added more backing vocals and "Insider" began to come together. Listen to Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks' 'Insider' "And I thought, how dumb of me, to think that she'd want me to write like her." 'The Insider' sounds like what I do,'" Petty said. "She says, 'Wow! That's why I wanted you to write me a song - it's rock 'n' roll, that's what you do.

I'm giving it back to you right now.' I really thought a lot of her for that." "She said, 'I can tell by the look on your face, you don't wanna give me this song. "She walked back in and said, 'How was it?' I said, 'It's amazing,'" Petty added. So she said, 'Just let me sing the harmony one time.' So she did, and when it was over, I just sat there, in awe. "Because my track was playing in her headphones as a guide. "She really liked the song, so we went to do the vocal and she started to sing harmony every time," Petty told Musician in 1981. Initially, he felt the track was up Nicks' alley, but when it came time for her to begin work on the track, Petty started to get cold feet. Petty could tell right away that it was a strong piece. "I thought it was one of my best songs to that point and I cut it there, just me and my guitar," he said in 2005's Conversations With Tom Petty. It don't happen every day, fans! But the lyrics were real quick." I just wrote it all down on paper and then I just picked up the guitar and tried to sing each line out. well, maybe give me another 10 minutes for the tune. "When I wrote that song, I wrote it very quickly – I mean maybe in 10, 15 minutes," Petty told Melody Maker in 1981. The result was "Insider," a tender tune that was intended for Nicks to use on her upcoming debut solo album, Bella Donna. I feel very lucky to have known her.” The final classic lineup member of Fleetwood Mac, McVie’s ex-husband and bassist John McVie, has yet to speak publicly about her death.Petty stuck to a strict "no girls in the band" policy, but he agreed to write a song for her. “For over four decades, we helped each other create a beautiful body of work and a lasting legacy that continues to resonate today.

I always knew I would need these words one day.” Nicks included a page of handwritten lyrics to Haim’s “Hallelujah” as the mentioned song, which recounts the death and legacy of a friend. I thought I might possibly get to sing it to her, and so, I’m singing it to her now. So, since Saturday, one song has been swirling around in my head, over and over and over. I didn’t even know she was ill until late Saturday night,” Nicks wrote on social media. “A few hours ago I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975 had passed away.
