"You Are" has REALLY lame lyrics. But then so does "That's How I Feel". Christine isn't Joni Mitchell. I can live with "That's How I Feel" but I can't get past the "blind man who now can see" simile in "You Are." I love the lyrics to "Forgiveness" and "So Sincere." |

far, far better than her photos for the cover of BuckVie.

And on The Dance cover she looks uncomfortable, unduly angular, and sort of awkwardly squished into the frame. Granted, that was a weird cover in the first place. I just feel that she has such a beautiful and iconic look when she's not made up to hell and back or put in awkward poses. (On Meantime her body isn't even facing the camera! What is this meant to be--a yoga DVD?) I regret being stereotypical and talking about her appearance, but it's always bothered me. I would have liked an FM album cover that made more use of Christine and Stevie's faces, because there's so few megabands to have two female members. Mirage is the closest I guess. They should have done so for Behind The Mask, not put some absolutely random woman on the cover! #branding_mishaps

The Dance is the worst album cover, period. They ll look ridiculous on it. |

Oh, here's a MAJOR gripe I have, yet I've never seen someone else mention it (although surely some people have), so it may just be a perfect item for this thread.
Skies The Limit Um... what? When Lindsey left in 1987 did the band suddenly become completely illiterate?? Even the lyrics of the actual song say "SKY IS". Where did they get this title from?? Quote:

Loving these comments! Love Xtine McVie, too... though, like other have noted, sometimes she doesn't ever seem to go far enough. There's always a slight detachment with her. That being said...
Don't know how unpopular these would be, but: —The pre-LBified "Hold Me" is incredible and would have been a hit with all that good-timey rockin' and SN/CMcV harmonizing. The released version obvs brings it into the present/future, but it was such a great 70s-jam it would have been nice to hear it that way from the start (anyone else suspect the LBification had a lot to do with pulling out SN's voice... FM never really let the two of them "join forces"...prob would have been too big an ego-blow to all three guys). The addition of the male voices doing the "come on and" is key, though. —Love her Mirage songs! "Love In Store" is a favorite! "Only Over You" is also wonderful, as is "Wish You Were Here" (add "Hold Me" and they might be her strongest set of songs in one place, which is tough bc her Tango songs are also stellar)... —"Wish You Were Here" definitely quote/cribs/calls back to "Silver Springs" in its opening piano part. —Some of her Chicken Shack stuff is better than what she was doing with FM until SN/LB joined. Some of her early FM vocals are WEIRD. (Love "Blues is a Woman" and other Chicken Shack songs) Maybe a little more unpopular: —Sometimes I wonder what she'd be like if she did have more of a "spark"... she can be rote and kind of clinical, even when she sometime juxtaposes opposites in weird and interesting ways (how "Don't Stop" can be a very positive message and at the same time cynical, "if you life was bad to you/just think what TOMORROW WILL DO)"... Like how she said once that if she didn't write it in 30 minutes she'd give up and move on. Imagine how awesome she'd be if she worked a little harder LOL. AND THE REAL UNPOPULAR OPINION: —I don't think this new drama is entirely SN/Mick F at all. CMcV has SOMETHING to do with this, beyond being a member of FM. Surely all this hand/face action from the CBS interview isn't because she's mad about LB being "fired"...https://ibb.co/ek6bXf |

Of course. As MANY of us have stated before, she could have put a stop to this whole fiasco had she put her foot down and walked out the door with Lindsey. Then FM would not have been able to continue even though they probably would have, knowing Mick and how he operates. But with Lindsey and Chris both gone, Fleetwood Mac would just be Stevie Nicks' backup band and she already has one of those. So we blame Christine as much as the other two. Now even though I just agreed with you I do want to make it clear that I have chosen to forgive all of them and move forward in life. In this post I'm just rehashing history, and that is all.

I for one am really happy with what's come out of this. Personally, I was over any trepidation as soon as I saw the setlist and the videos from the first show (many of which I think you shared—thank you, btw). That Ellen appearance was a disaster and was what brought me back to the message board to see what was up... It's been great to revisit all their music and I listened to Kiln House for the first time ever after hearing that great Tell Me All The Things You Do! |

I wish Mick would just say definitively that the group does not exist anymore. Then we can edit Wikipedia and get rid of all this crap about the surviving members of the 2018-19 lineup comprising a current configuration. Thanks to Mick and all erstwhile members for the good times. |

But I was referring to the lyrics, something you brought up in an earlier post. The lyrics to "Feel About You" are not qualitatively different than any number of songs on ITM. |
