Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Christine McVie
I don't know about the rest of you but she was my favourite songwriter of Fleetwood Mac's successful era. And the above song is testament to that.
Song title: Everywhere
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Year: 1987
Why I like this song:
It can't be disputed that the fortunes of Fleetwood Mac changed dramatically when they brought in Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. However when i listen to the material produced by the classic line up (Buckingham/Nicks/McVie/McVie/Fleetwood) it's the songs written by Christine McVie that end up sticking out for me. Songbird. You Make Loving Fun. Don't Stop. Can't beat an output like that.
Which brings me to Everywhere: It's a pop song par excellence with great guitar work and wonderful harmonies - both of which are highlighted in live versions (like the one in the video above).
Talk about playing to one's strengths.
