Fleetwood Mac - Murrow Turning Over In His Grave Lyrics

Musically and lyrically this track is a hot mess. Too much echo/reverb - it sounds dreadful (music solo's aside, maybe). Though had the potential to sound awesome - you can hear the great track under the hot mess 🤦

It's called 'noise rock' and showcases their versatility with different genres. Noise has a way of growing on you, maybe someday you'll start 'getting it' too 👍

I think it's genius, personally. This entire album is so diverse and this piece is a great representation of how talented Fleetwood Mac really were/are.

Fantastic ! #RumoursinGold

I swear I hear "WHOA Black Betty" in there somewhere...

They literally ripped off black betty lofl

Superb song!

I regret not attending this tour

Try to write a song as half as meaningful as this 2018 Fakewood Mac

Lindsey makes those strings scream at the end.

great drum sound...

How is this even possible..

Rediscovering this album 15 years later. Why did I stop listening to it? This album rocks on so many levels.

I remember listening to this on my way to Missouri to my grandpas funeral over and over.

This piece embodies the truthful essence of Fleetwood Mac...

Reminds me of Borderlands for some reason

The first anti-Fake News song of the new century.

Happy Halloween!!!
My husband must be turning over and over in his grave....he wants out!!!

WHOA Black Betty LOL I love this song

Awesome song. That guitar solo towards the end is absolutely amazing.

Murrow Turning Over in His GraveFleetwood MacAll the saints and sinners
They pay handsomely
MSCAE they make the weapons
And they run the prisons
And they sell the justice
'Cause being guilty is just good business
Well, we're standing on the borderline
Ain't no one here going to stop it nowMurrow's turnin' over in his grave
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
The damn thing went wild
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
The damn thing went wildHalf-closed eyes and unconscious death
Do you feel the ooze as your brain drains out
From the pneumatic drills and sharpened knives?
Blood in the sky, are you dead or alive?
All the restless people and the bitter green
Well, it takes this gold, make the spirit meanMurrow's turnin' over in his grave
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
The damn thing went wild
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Murrow's turnin' over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
The damn thing went wildSongwriters: LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM

Lindsey Buckingham has said that the song was written to reflect his belief that Edward R. Murrow, an iconic journalist in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, would be greatly dismayed by the present-day media.[4] Murrow was a great believer of honesty and integrity in delivering news to the people of the world. He said "to be persuasive, we must be believable; to be believable, we must be credible; to be credible, we must be truthful

You answered my question: what the fuck is this song about

The last 90 seconds or so - astonishing.

Well, Lindsey is known for his guitar solos (there was once an incredibly lon g onr for a live performance of I'm So Afraid that I recall being 9 or ten times longer than the song (don't qoute me in that)

I think you may be referring to the solo on the Fleetwood Mac 'Live' album.

@Atomic Robo Tesla you're correct. That I'm so afraid solo was beyond words.

This album is one of their best I think.

+Ashley Culp I like the edge.

+Ashley Culp Agreed.
