Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Never Going Back Again’ Featured in Bank Commercial



The guitar line that pursues a young man in the newest Bank of America commercial as he purchases a bouquet of flowers, catches a cab & knocks on an apartment building door is unmistakable. Anybody of the 40 million masses who have purchased Fleetwood Mac‘s ‘Rumours’ since its 1977 release will be familiar with the guitar sample from ‘Never Going Back Again.’ However the instrumental edition heard in the ‘Flowers’ commercial is in a lower key than the recognizable cut (played by the song’s writer, Lindsey Buckingham) everybody knows from ‘Rumours.’ It is most absolutely not the unique Fleetwood Mac recording, but that’s certainly ‘Never Going Back Again’ scoring the 30-second commercial, piece of Bank of America’s Life’s Better When You are connected campaign. Like lots of ‘Rumours’ album, ‘Never Going Back Again‘ has had remarkable staying power over the previous 35-plus years. Fleetwood Mac still makes the song in concert as a Buckingham platform. He plays it solo on the record & still contains it in his own shows. No word on who is plucking those well-known notes for Bank of America, & whether or not Buckingham had something to do with it, other than providing his permission to utilize the song.

Dreams LYRICS BY FLEETWOOD MAC

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... Women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... Women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know
