Heard this on Sirius XM radio the other day. First of all, it's just a great song, period. But I think it resonated with me for another reason. Replace "Hollywood" with "Silicon Valley" and the song hits home a little bit.
After the Glitter Fades (2016 Remaster)
Great intro on this live version, explaining it a little bit.

Stevie Nicks Lyrics
"After The Glitter Fades"
Well I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever
Want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well you know I'll find a way
For me... it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one...
Fine star... away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
The loneliness of a one night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll
Woman... while her heart breaks
Oh you know... the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel
For me... it's the only life...
That I've ever know
And love is only one... fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains...
Even after the glitter fades
For me... it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know... the feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh the feeling remains...
Even after the glitter... fades
