The catchy “My Heart” appears exclusively on the U.S. Barnes and Noble and international editions of Stevie Nicks‘ In Your Dreams (2011).
Co-written by Michael Campbell, who provided the music track, Stevie originally recorded “My Heart” for Trouble in Shangri-La (2001). Although the track was completed, it was not used for the final release. The Shangri-La version is similar but contains additional lyrics and a different melody in the verses. The song is speculated to be about her longstanding relationship with former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham.
In honor of her 2019 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Stevie Nicks’ 2012 documentary In Your Dreams, chronicling the recording of her acclaimed seventh solo album of the same name, will be screened in selected theaters starting in March.
Here is a partial list of theaters that will be screening In Your Dreams. Contact the theater(s) for more details.
In honor of Stevie Nick’s recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as a solo female artist, the inimitable Stevie Nicks has entranced millions of fans worldwide with her poetic lyrics, sultry singing and feather-and-lace style. In 2010 Nicks embarked on the recording of a new solo album, In Your Dreams, produced by former Eurythmics mastermind Dave Stewart. With cameras in tow, documentarian Stewart and diva Nicks set up shop in her home studio and reveal their collaborative creative process. (Rated NR, 1 hour 52 minutes)

TORONTO – Fleetwood Mac songstress Stevie Nicks is tantalizing fans with a bold idea: a one-woman show.
Could something along the lines of “My Name is Stevie” (in the vein of Barbra Streisand’s “My Name is Barbra”) or “Stevie With an I-E” (in the spirit of Liza Minnelli’s “Liza With a Z”) be in the tarot cards?
The raspy-voiced veteran says it’s an idea her pal Dave Stewart has been trying to get her to embrace.
Nicks made the comments while appearing at the Canadian premiere of her documentary “In Your Dreams,” which follows her and the Eurythmics hitmaker as they write and record her 2011 album of the same name.
She says Stewart’s plan would involve massive video screens revealing images from Nicks’ storied life. But the “Landslide” crooner is laughing off the idea, noting: “I’m not Barbra Streisand.”
I probably sold 300,000 records [of In Your Dreams]. It’s awesome if you’re an unknown artist, but it’s not really that awesome if you’re Stevie Nicks.
Nicks’ creative bond with Stewart is traced in an affectionate documentary that reveals the veteran rockers nit-picking over melodies and brainstorming lyrics at her home recording studio in California. The film plays in Toronto through Thursday before heading to other cities.
After the film, Nicks told a movie theatre full of fans that Stewart sees a new chapter in her career.
“He wants me to have video screens, like a big room of video screens where it’s all my whole life (up there). And I (said): ‘Dave, I’m not Barbra Streisand’,” Nicks said smiling. “But maybe. Maybe someday.”
She notes that her solo shows already feature a lot of talking, as opposed to the hit-laden concerts with her band Fleetwood Mac.
“It’s very different. Fleetwood Mac’s much more sophisticated and grownup and my show is just like a big slumber party in an auditorium. And I tell everybody the meanings of all these new songs. Because that’s how I draw people in,” says Nicks, who turns 65 on May 26.
After the movie, Nicks took questions from audience members, recounting the origins of her steadfast determination to be a star and dark days surrounding the recording of “Rumours.”
“It wasn’t really a pleasant experience,” she says.
“Lindsey (Buckingham) and I had pretty much just really broken up, and we’d kind of broken up off and on for a year before that. So this is 1977. None of the couples were happy… which, on one hand, really lends to the creative process.”
The film includes interviews with Nicks about Fleetwood Mac’s rise to fame, current sources of inspiration, childhood memories and her surprising passion for the Twilight franchise.
She notes that promoting the album In Your Dreams involved a grueling two years of touring and promotion. In the end, it didn’t amount to much.
“I didn’t sell a lot of records, you guys. For me, for a big act like moi, I didn’t. Worldwide I probably sold 300,000 records. It’s awesome if you’re an unknown artist and you have a hit single but it’s not really that awesome if you’re Stevie Nicks,” she said.
“It’s such a different age now.”
“In Your Dreams” heads to Ottawa on Friday and Saturday. It reaches Winnipeg on May 2, May 3 and May 5; Saskatoon on May 13; Edmonton on May 14; Calgary on May 16; Vancouver on May 18 and 23; and Montreal from June 14 to 17.
Fleetwood Mac performs at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday. They head to Ottawa on April 23, Winnipeg on May 12, Saskatoon on May 14, Edmonton on May 15, Calgary on May 17 and Vancouver on May 19.

TORONTO – In the feature film about her life, Stevie Nicks wants Reese Witherspoon to play her.
This is one of many revelations found in In Your Dreams, the documentary about the making of Nicks’ 2011 solo album of the same name, co-directed by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, who also helmed the record with Glen Ballard.
On and off, over the course of a year, Stewart shot 50 hours of footage of the now 64-year-old Nicks, most intimately at her mansion high in the hills above Los Angeles. The resulting film features cameos by Witherspoon, Fleetwood Mac members Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham, Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and, of course, Stewart, who is a bit of a character himself.
When he’s not belting back the occasional martini, he’s got either an acoustic or electric guitar or camera in his hand.
During one funny moment, Stewart is filming Nicks and she looks up and says: “Oh, that was you the whole time. I’m going like, ‘Who’s the chick in the white outfit that’s filming us?’”
One genuine surprise? That until writing with Stewart, Nicks had never ever written a song with another person in the same room before.
“I don’t like to be told what to do,” she says at one point.
In another scene, she is seen arguing with Buckingham over tense changes in her lyrics.
“Would you say that to Bob Dylan?” Nicks asks him.
And when Stewart tries to insert some “too siren-y, too weird” guitar effects into a song, Nicks says bluntly: “Don’t quit your day job.”
No pushover is Nicks. And she’s honest too.
She admits to ending up with a demo reel of 23 Campbell tracks in the ’80s after visiting Tom Petty and stealing one — Runaway Trains — for a Fleetwood Mac song until Petty got wind of it.
“All I could hear was Tom screaming,” she says to the camera. “I was so busted.”
The movie is certain to appeal to fans of Nicks, whose gypsy persona, fashion style and throaty voice made her an icon.
And for those who aren’t devotees, the behind-the-scenes music-making with some of rock’s top musicians will fascinate.
In Your Dreams: Stevie Nicks is at the TIFF Bell Lightbox on Monday at 7 and 7:30pm, with Nicks conducting a Q&A afterward.

As a member of Fleetwood Mac as well as a successful solo artist, Stevie Nicks is undeniably one of music’s true legends. Her wild past of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll are the perfect fodder for the big screen and the singer knows who she’d like to portray her in a biopic — Reese Witherspoon. Her choice makes sense — Reese did, after all, win an Oscar for playing another iconic musician, June Carter Cash, in Walk the Line. But it seems it might be too late to make this movie magic happen, since Stevie says, “I’ve already told her she’s almost too old.”
True, Reese is no longer on the ‘edge of seventeen’ but too old? “I love her, but she’s like, ‘I could play your mother’ I’m like okay.”
We caught up with the Gold Dust Woman on the Toronto red carpet of her new film, In Your Dreams. The documentary chronicles the making of Stevie’s first solo album in 10 years, of the same name, In Your Dreams.
Filming the process was her producing partner, Dave Stewart’s idea. “He’s totally insane and fantastic and he films everything,” Stevie says of Dave, who himself is a member of one of music’s iconic groups, The Eurythmics. “When he suggested it I was like ‘oh please, you’re not serious, right?’” Stevie eventually agreed to let the cameras in, but assumed the footage would end up being a personal memento, not a full-length feature film! “I thought a few people would see it and love it and it would go back on the library shelf,” she explains. “They say good things come to people who wait… I think good things come to people who don’t expect anything!”
Stevie walked the red carpet just over 24 hours before a reunited Fleetwood Mac are to take the stage for a nearly sold-out show at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.
Clad in her trademark head-to-toe black, Stevie admitted that, even after all these years of performing she still gets nervous before a big show: “I said to Lindsey (Buckingham) it’s disturbingly big because you’re putting on your shoes and all of a sudden you’re walking on stage in front of 16,000 people and you’re like, ‘is this really happening?’”

Two rock icons, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics, worked together on Nicks’ first album solo album in a decade, 2011’s In Your Dreams
But their creative collaboration didn’t end there.
There’s also a Stewart-directed 2013 behind-the-scenes documentary of the same name about making the record, co-produced by Glen Ballard, that will debut in Toronto Monday night. The film then moves across Canada over the next several weeks.
“It’s a movie that Stevie Nicks’ fans love,” says Stewart, 60, from L.A.
“Obviously, she’s been a bit of an enigma and very sort of mysterious and there’s an insight not only into her world and her home and how she works but inside her mind as well. How she works creatively and how she thinks. What’s good is that if you’re not a Stevie Nicks fan in particular and you watch it, you get kind of surprised at how kind of intense and focused she is working. Because I think a lot of the views or people’s opinions about artists during certain periods of their life is kind of spaced out, hippie like. And then you see Stevie at work in the film and you go, ‘Holy s—!’ She’s like a force of nature.”
Turns out Stewart and Nicks met 30 years ago.
The occasion was an Eurythmics show in Los Angeles and Nicks came backstage.
“We got on really well,” says Stewart. “And I went back to stay in L.A. for a bit and we hung out and I was writing just experimental stuff with her and I ended up writing this song for her but then Tom Petty liked it and wanted to record it — Don’t Come Around Here No More — that’s why at the end (of the film, Stevie) says, ‘Hey, Dave, definitely come around here!’ Because it became this epic sort of song for Tom.”
Stewart and Nicks regrouped again significantly in 2006 when Nicks appeared on a pilot for Stewart’s HBO music-themed interview show and they performed a 15-minute version of Rhiannon together.
In the documentary, she reveals after that collaboration she knew she wanted Stewart to produce either her next solo album or a Fleetwood Mac record.
“It all sort of organically turned into the record and the movie,” says Stewart.
He says after recording the album with Nicks and shooting about 50 hours of footage — boiled down to one hour and 40 minutes on-screen — he learned two significant things about her.
“Stevie’s incredibly generous. She’s always kept the same backing singers, the same friends… even the sounds guys and everybody. They’ve all stuck by her. They’re so loyal to her. And that’s an amazing thing that I discovered about Stevie of how deep that runs within her, this loyalty. And then all of the time and effort she puts into putting her lyrics together. Training herself in books and reading so much literature. She’s steeped in her job. She said it herself. She purposely decided not to have children because she just knew she couldn’t do both. It’s a massive decision.”

Toronto / TIFF Bell Lightbox (350 King St W) / April 15 (7 p.m and 7:30 p.m. with Stevie Nicks Q&A) and then April 16-18.

Stevie Nicks talks about recording of Rumours-era track ‘Secret Love.’
It’s easy to forget that even the most legendary musicians grapple with self-doubt. Stevie Nicks reminds us of that in a new documentary, In Your Dreams, which chronicles the making of her album of the same name.
In the exclusive clip below, Nicks discusses the recording of “Secret Love,” a song she wrote for Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours but never properly recorded for over 30 years. Oddly enough, a demo from those sessions found its way to YouTube, leaving Nicks with some mixed emotions.
“I said, ‘I don’t know how to feel about that,” because I would have been happier if nobody ever heard ‘Secret Love,’ so I’m trying to look at it from the other way and go ‘Well, everybody that’s had it for 30 years is really happy that it’s going to actually come out as a real song.’”
In the video, you can hear the original version and then watch as Nicks records the track with producer Dave Stewart, who also directed the documentary. For more information on In Your Dreams, visit the film’s official website. The documentary will screen around the U.S. for one night only on April 2, while Fleetwood Mac kicks off a world tour on April 4.
NEW YORK, March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Following the tremendous positive response to the Stevie Nicks documentary In Your Dreams, an intimate portrait of one of rock’s most enduring and legendary artists, at the Hamptons International Film Festival and the Mill Valley Film Festival, this up close portrayal of Nicks recording her critically acclaimed In Your Dreams CD in collaboration with Dave Stewart is now scheduled to screen in over 50 theaters across North America on April 2nd. Tickets will be available on www.inyourdreamsmovie.com once they go on sale. A current schedule of cities and theaters follows this release, with more cities to be added.
The In Your Dreams film is being distributed by Abamorama. Co-produced and co-directed by former Eurythmic Dave Stewart, In Your Dreams is a portrait of the elusive Nicks as she and Stewart embark on a musical journey to write and record the critically acclaimed album In Your Dreams. Nicks called this “the greatest year of my life” and felt compelled to share the joyful experience that she terms “the day the circus came to town” with her fans. The record was co-written by Nicks and Stewart and produced by Stewart and Glen Ballard. Watch the trailer at www.inyourdreamsmovie.com or the bottom of this page.
Nicks, one of the lead singers and emotional catalyst for Fleetwood Mac, is embarking on a world tour with them beginning April 4th in Columbus Ohio. A multi-Grammy-Award-winning artist and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Nicks allowed cameras inside her magical old mansion high atop the hills of LA with a wild cast of musicians and friends. The inner life of the legendary Nicks has by her design long been kept at a distance from the public. We learn in Dreams that her world features, costume parties, elaborate dinner feasts, tap dancing, fantasy creations and revealing songwriting and recording sessions all of which are captured on film. Also cameos by Edgar Allan Poe, Mick Fleetwood, Reese Witherspoon, a massive white stallion in the backyard, owls and naturally a few vampires who appear in several “home movie” style music videos.
Along with tracking the Nicks/Stewart creative partnership, In Your Dreams has plenty of other cinematic payoffs including rare never before seen personal scrapbook stills from Nicks’ childhood and family life, and a wealth of candid backstage and performance shots taken over the last 35 years. The documentary was produced by Dave Stewart’s production company, Weapons of Mass Entertainment.
Nicks, who has sold millions of records as a solo artist and writer of such iconic songs as “Landslide,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Edge of 17,” is regularly cited by stars as diverse as Taylor Swift, Kid Rock, Courtney Love, Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks and John Mayer as an iconic favorite and heroine and is a continuous inspiration to the world’s top fashion designers.
“She is really real. It doesn’t matter if she is singing in the make-up room or in the middle of a TV interview. She is who she is, and she doesn’t change,” commented Stewart.
“This is our baby and we give her lovingly into your dreams. From our tribe to yours,” concluded Nicks.
Toronto — The elusive Stevie Nicks, one of the founding members of legendary Fleetwood Mac, is set to let the public have a peak inside her personal life. The film debuts alongside the upcoming Fleetwood Mac tour dates.
