Buckingham was arguably the principal creative force behind the 70s version of Fleetwood Mac. He is not only one of the main singer/songwriters, but also producer, leading them on an unusual journey from the commercial heights of 1977's Rumours (still among the biggest-selling albums ever) to the quirkily experimental double album Tusk in 1979.
Buckingham is also recognized as a unique & influential guitarist. Unlike many rock guitarists, Buckingham does not use a plectrum/pick, instead, he uses his fingers and fingernails.
Buckingham has recorded 6 studio albums and two live albums with Fleetwood Mac, and 6 studio albums and three live albums as a solo artist. The In Our Own Time Songfacts reports that Buckingham's sixth solo album, Seeds We Sow, was recorded at his LA home and he played most of the instruments himself. The record came out on September 6, 2011 and was his first to be self-released. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Initially after joining Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham used a Gibson Les Paul guitar. Before the band, a Fender Telecaster was his main guitar, and was used on his first Fleetwood Mac album. In 1979, he worked with Rick Turner, owner of Renaissance Guitars to create the Model One. He has used it extensively since, both with Fleetwood Mac and for his solo efforts. He uses a Taylor Guitar 814ce for most of his acoustic performances and has also used an Ovation Celebrity in the past.

She is waiting
She is dreaming
She is dreaming
And we're all going to meet her
Yes we're all going to meet her
When she comes down
She is watching
She is watching
She is hoping
She is hoping
And we're all going to meet her
Yes we're all going to meet her
When she comes down
When she comes down
Now she's dancing
Now she's calling
Now she's laughing
Now she's falling
And we're all going to meet her
Yes we're all going to meet her
When she comes down
When she comes down
When she comes down
When she comes down
The lyrics of Lindsey Buckingham's song "She is Waiting" are open to interpretation and can be perceived in different ways. The repetition of the phrases "she is waiting" and "she is dreaming" give the impression of a person who is longing for something or someone. It could be interpreted as a person waiting for a loved one who is far away, or perhaps a person who is dreaming of a better future. The phrase "we're all going to meet her" suggests that there is a gathering or a reunion of some sort where the person being waited for will finally arrive.
As the song progresses, the mood shifts from waiting and dreaming to watching and hoping. The lyrics "now she's dancing, now she's calling, now she's laughing, now she's falling" imply that the person being waited for is having some sort of experience and is going through changes. The repetition of the phrase "we're all going to meet her", reinforces that whatever is happening to the person is important to everyone, and that there is some sort of anticipation building up.
It is possible that the song is about a loved one who has passed away, and the waiting and watching is for their return in spirit. The shifts in mood from dreaming to laughing to falling also suggest that the person being waited for is going through some sort of journey or transition. Overall, the lyrics of "She is Waiting" are suggestive and leave much room for interpretation.
