Honey Hi or Never Forget

[DavidMn]

Ok, no one ever talks about these songs it seems like, so I figured why not? FOr me it's NEver Forget.

[CreepingDeath]

I definitely like Never Foget a lot more. Besides the great harmonies on Honey Hi, the song is pretty medicore, imo.

[David]

Both so fine . . . so fine . . . how could one choose? Well, I suppose one could, if the reward was sufficient.

I like how Jim Ladd signed off his two-part Innerview of Fleetwood Mac in 1979, speaking over the outro of "Never Forget": "Though we didn't talk to them personally, I would like to give a very special thanks to Christine McVie & John McVie, whom many consider the signature of Fleetwood Mac."

[Dark Angel]

Definitely Never Forget. Honey Hi I just can't get into.

[GateandGarden]

I have to go with "Never Forget," which I really adore. I have never been able to really get into "Honey Hi."

[Hawkeye]

Honey Hi by far, although Honey Hi could never end Tusk like Never Forget does, if that makes sense. as a song itself I prefer Honey Hi, but Never Forget has got to be the best album closer ever, it totally ties the whole album together. So I like both but will give Honey Hi the edge, witht hose amazing harmonies and caribean background.

[SteveMacD]

"Honey Hi" has amazing harmonies, which is why I put it ahead. However, I think "Never Forget" is the better song, technically speaking.

Honey Hi!

The lyrics are trite so for me it's just about the music. Is it a wurlitzer? I wouldn't know, but it's a fun, simple keyboard part and of course great lead vocal and harmonies.

[NicksIllume]

Doesn't Honey Hi have the touch me, baby part?

I feel like a broken record. I think I am a broken record!

[HomerMcvie]

Never Forget, hands down.

[face of glass]

"Never Forget", even if it was just for the guitar at the end.

[macfan 57]

I like "Honey Hi", but I LOVE "Never Forget". It's the perfect song to end Tusk.

[Gailh]

Honey Hi is one the few songs of Christine's that I'm not fond of. I think the lyrics are lazy. Funnily enough I do like the demo version on the Tusk remastered thingy.

You may not be a "record", but you're surely "broken". :D (I know, I know..."stop calling me Shirley")


I think "Honey Hi" should've been the OPENING TRACK of Tusk and there's no other song that could CLOSE the album other than "Never Forget".

It seems to me that if they HAD opened Tusk with "Honey Hi", it would've gotten more exposure and probably even had been included in the live set.

I can't choose, I like these songs equally.......... :sorry:

[Dreammms]

I love BOTH of these song sooo much. It's too hard to choose.

[golden braid]

I prefer Honey Hi. I love the harmonies.

[gldstwmn]

I'm partial to Never Forget.

[LikeAWillow]

For me, it's always been Never Forget, Honey Hi is just average IMO :shrug:

[jbrownsjr]

who could be sweeter than u

[GypsySorcerer]

I like them both. I'd probably give a slight edge to "Honey Hi." Love the harmonies.

No problemo man, thats cool :cool:

[DavidMn]

You know it's funny, I never thought those 2 songs would get the kind of response they did when I made this post. It's nice to give them the light of day once in :) awhile

yes, great post thanks! i enjoyed the pressure, as it were :)

I agree. Each has its merits. It's funny that the yoking of these two songs should be in the thread, since they happen to be my favorite C McVie Tracks on Tusk. I once read that, upon hearing the entire album, Warner execs wanted to only issue album #1. This stunned me, since much of the best material--and certainly Christine's best material---is on sides tree and four.
