So many good Fleetwood Mac songs, right? We're not done yet!
Released as the first single from the Mirage album in 1982, this is one of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits, and yet it is often forgotten when discussing their best songs. And, indeed, the band was a mirage at the time. Notice how very little they are on screen together during this video. That's because none of them were getting along. At all. Stevie Nicks was broken up with TWO of her bandmates, neither of whom were really fond of her. Neither was the video producer, who complained about her diva behavior. John McVie was largely drunk throughout the shoot, and Christine McVie was just sick of all the drama.... which didn't endear her to her bandmates, either.
Did you get all that? I had to draw it all out. But the Magrite-inspired video that ensured from the chaotic drama sure turned out pretty, and the song itself is a sweet Christine McVie-Lindsey Buckingham duet, written by McVie.
