[Jondalar]

So, Lindsey always had this thing for the 1950s. Remember, Oh Diane. That is what this song reminds me of, Oh Diane, from Mirage. I think this song will be much more appreciated in Europe just like Oh Diane was, which actually charted high in Europe.

To me, it's almost too simple, but I think the point of the song is the harmonies and I think the harmonies are excellent, so I'm giving this one a thumbs up. At least he produced this one more lushley than the last one which means there is hope for the album. I'm also feeling a Tango vibe, which I like.

[TrueFaith77]

In recent interviews looking back at Mirage, Lindsey indicated that pastiche is the last resort of the desperately unbothered. Yet, this is more than pastiche, an exploration of his musical inspirations, shared cultural heritage, and his musical kinship with Christine. It is appropriate. He accesses pop's sublime essence--like the 50s throwback group in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive.

I can think of no higher praise. Really.

Yes, I think you are right. This album is coming off as Noir piece. 1st we have as song that reminds me of the late 1960s and early 1970s British mystery theater movie soundtrack and now this 1950's piece. Instead of Film Noir. It's music Noir.

Thank you for this. It explains so well my thoughts and feelings about this song, but was unable to put it into words.

[lennonfan]

I Love It!!!

[24karatstevie]

I voted love it. Definitely better than In My World imo.

[AncientQueen]

I voted I love it, too. I'm just happy that Christine sings on it, that there is a nice melody and that is has a retro sound.

[TheWildHeart67]

Sigh. Strike 2 for me.
Sounds like a boring adult contemporary song you'd hear on the credits of a Lifetime movie :-(

[nicepace]

I'm still trying to figure out how to vote on IMW, but this one gets a "love it" before I've even finished my first listen.

[secondhandchain]

Not for nothing but OP sorry you have TOO many choices in your poll that mean the same thing and we have to add up to find out if people actually like the song.
In the future can you just stick to:

I love it
It's ok
I don't like it
I hate it.

Simple. Just my opinion!

[Macfan4life]

Its very catchy and upbeat.
Love it.

[secondhandchain]

Sigh. Strike 2 for me.

Not with that quirky, Lindsey Buckingham Brian Wilsonesque production. NO freaking way! Much better then that.

Choices 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 all mean the same thing. 3 and 7 are the same. 1 and 10 are the same. But you can't fault the OP for their enthusiasm!

3 and 7 are not the same. And there are levels to hate and love.

[secondhandchain]

I LOVE that it's a little strange and off center. Can you imagine if Chris recorded this on her own? Lindsey balances her sugar with a little salt!!!!

[dreamsunwind]

This is good, catchy melody and love the 50s quirky production.

[BombaySapphire3]

Lindsey did what he could with the production and the harmonies are nice but this is not a very good song IMO .Not sure how this could be considered Chris's best since Tango by some. Love Shines and Friend to name 2 are by far superior songs to this one.

Friend is an excellent song and I wish Lindsey would of produced that.

[FuzzyPlum]

Feel About You is better than In My World.
I still want to like In My World but you've got to admit its kind of boring really.
This song is jaunty but I still have some production concerns...there are parts of it (that middle section) that sound really cheap and tinny like IMW.

Anyway, the journalist that said IMW was the best song on the album was wrong.

Feel About You is a much better advert for the album and should have come out first. The fact its come so soon after IMW makes me think IMW was only aver released as a 'political' statement.

The bombays agree! lol

[secondhandchain]

Methinks you two bombays are chiffonheads who want this to be bad??? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[KenshiMaster16]

Personally, not my cup of tea. It's just too.....I don't know, it's lacking a punch to the gut. Sounds like something we'd almost expect to hear from a tape of unreleased reels, like its unreleased for a reason.

Still though, it's one song out of 10 and IMW was alright so I'm not totally discouraged yet about the project.

[lennonfan]

doggone this song keeps calling me back for more!
It's like happy Mac and a dream come true!

[BombaySapphire3]

Methinks you two bombays are chiffonheads who want this to be bad??? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Nope ..I was rooting for it to be good just calling it as I see it and so far not very impressed ..oh well the week after Buckingham/McVie is released the greatest band to emerge in the last decade The Fleet Foxes will be putting out their first new one in 6 years and so far it sounds awesome.

[SpyNote]

It's a cute little ditty, but again, they should be singing together more. That's the magic they're known for.

so there's no option for me on your list. i think this song is super cute. bouncy bubbly cutesy simply melodic, reminescent of the musical times past. calling you to come back for more and listen over and over. like they had tons of fun making it.

while IMW was annoying me more and more which each subsequent listen.

[Kubrick2788]

Always love it when I see someone else mention Fleet Foxes. It's like a band full of Graham Nashes. Beautiful music, even more beautiful vocals. Sorry to sidetrack, but I'm looking forward to that album more than this one...

It's a happy song and happy, summery songs seem rare to me. Going on vacation soon and I will be listening to this by the ocean.

[Iamwilliame]

I like it. Those harmonies in the chorus are glorious! It really could have used a guitar solo around the 2-minute mark (think Hold Me). The outro is nice but way too brief. The chorus is almost ABBAesque. I also get a bit of a McCartney vibe with it being so sugary sweet, but it is so damn catchy, you can't help but bop along with it. I'm not a big fan of the airy production, even on Tango. I prefer the richer sound of Mirage. Great to hear Chris and Lindsey together again. They still do compliment one another, even on lightweight material.

[TheWildHeart67]

As I stated previously, I cancelled my pre-order.
I'm going to legally stream the album on my paid Google Play subscription when it's released before I decide on a purchase.

[On Ice]

I love it! So nice to hear Christine's lush voice as soft as a warm breeze on a hot summer day. Great all around song. :)

[BombaySapphire3]

I'm still not sure about them either. But they have both grown on me.

I like It's Your World somewhat but Feel About You just gets worse with repeated listens. It does not come anywhere close to Christine's extraordinary run of hit singles with the band that began with Over My Head and ended with Everywhere.

[SteveMacD]

I made a playlist with the two new songs and LB's "Sleeping Around the Corner" and I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's not that the three songs don't sound like Fleetwood Mac, just that they sound like club remixes of Fleetwood Mac songs. Like the production was intentionally done in a way to appeal to kids. I'm not saying it's bad, but certainly different from what I was expecting.

Another thing I noticed is that while the individual songs don't do a lot for me on their own, especially lyrically, they sound great together.

[AmbrFireflie]

Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band of all time, but I can't say I love this song :( If you talk production, harmonies, guitars, or whatever that's all great.. but these lyrics? People get on Stevie for being trite lately but good lord these aren't the most inspired either. Lindsey's song to me was better, it was just a shame he didn't have Christine showcased more. Just my initial thoughts, Im sure I'll enjoy most of this collaboration.

[24karatstevie]

I get the Paul McCartney vibe some people are getting. Interestingly I feel like the vocal "bum bum bums" during the chorus of Feel About You kind of sound like the music for Sherry by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Does anyone else hear this or is it just me lol?

Yeah.. Feel About You is almost down there with Cheaper than Free lyrically.

[secondhandchain]

Yeah.. Feel About You is almost down there with Cheaper than Free lyrically.

Chris is not known for her lyrics. This is not news. But there's something about her and Lindsey together.

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
and I don't know what to say.
Come on baby
We better make a start
We better make it soon
Before you break my heart.

Trite lyrics? Yes but a top ten song.

[Frankenstein]

I'm not really sure how I feel about the song. I don't think it's necessarily bad, but it's also not my cup of tea personally. Too sugary. That being said, after one listen I have it stuck in my head... so it's definitely catchy.

[Ench]

I much prefer this to Oh! Diane. I really like this song.

I like 'In My World' even more. I'm really looking forward to the album.

[James89]

Just sounds like it's from a musical. It's not for me.

haha, yeah that's it! i was thinking when people said how it sounds and i couldn't quite place it - but exactly, sounds like it's from a musical.

[lennonfan]

This new song is getting a lot of love in the polling so far...I love it and have played it probably 6 times and enjoy it more each time:)

[Stormwind]

I guess IMW and this song are labeled under the label "Let's over produce a weak song to save it from its misery". Not impressed so far by these two singles. When Lindsey goes for a "sound" before the song, well we know what happens: hit or miss.

[NotonRodeo]

Weak songs? Atrocious lyrics? Admittedly Fleetwood Mac has had its share of those.

1. She is a girly girl living in man's world. (She forgot to sign some papers too or something.)

2. Rulers make bad lovers, you better put your kingdom up for sale, you better sell it sell it sell it.

3. And if I was a child and the child was in love you know for me to love enough to love.

4. Whazza mada baybeh? 4 x

5. Welcome to the Room Sara for Scarlett welcome to the choir sir.

6. They ride a limousine because everything else is taken care of.

7. She rules her life like a fine skylark and when the sky is starless.

8. It hurts my self esteem, it hurts my everything
I am reeling... oh, it hurts my feelings ....

I prefer honey and jam, thank you.

Heck, Christine had BTM and Time songs better than this. Save Me, BTM, Hollywood, some other kind of town, Nights in Estoril, Heart of Stone. All much better. Michele

Yeah I cancelled my pre-order. Not too excited any longer. I'll stream it on Google play when the album is released.

[jwd]

I like this song, and better than IMW. Probably because Chris is more prominent on it.

Christine's voice is as good as ever, the harmonies of Lindsey and Chris are out of this world, and it sounds like FM! It makes me feel good and has a positive vibe to it.

Thumbs up, but not a home run.

[michelej1]

I wish they'd stop streaming stuff. No more singles.

I am buying several copies of this album, no matter how horrible it is. Gauntlet thrown Lindsey and Christine. There's nothing you can do to make me not buy this album. If I find out you murdered a few engineers in the process of making it, wouldn't matter.

Ha, we should do a thread for worst song lyrics, for all of them combined, not just for one of them. Lindsey would get the Popeye song, for sure.

Someone mentioned Oh Daddy being a sign of Christine's greatness. If Oh Daddy was one of the songs on the new album, I'd cut off my ears and abandon all hope.

[ricohv]

This song puts me in the mind of the Tango b-side "Ricky". It's sort of quirky & catchy; slightly awkward lyrically; something I don't mind as an "added bonus" or "rarity" song, but definitely more B-SIDE than A-SIDE.
I'm feeling disappointed & don't assume they're saving the best for last: these first 2 singles are what should be making a buzz & generating interest :shocked:. Still crossing my fingers though!

That line in GDW is, as the kids say, a "sick burn"

[SisterNightroad]

3. And if I was a child and the child was in love you know for me to love enough to love.
Actually the line is And if I was a child/And the child was enough/Enough for me to love/Enough to love.
Personally I've always loved that line, the way it's delivered in the Mirage concert video it's very poignant to me especially since the song is also partly about Robin and the performance was just a few weeks after her death.

Lol, as opposed to, say, these clunkers:

1. When the road gets rough, I fall down. I get up. I am what I am what I am what I am what I am... a FAMILY MAN! Actually, all the lyrics of this song would fall in this category.

2. She's so cagey, she's so stagey.

3. What are you doing, going down into Soho as I take my rest tonight.

4. Ooh, uh, ooh, uh, ooh, uh, ooh, uh ,ooh, uh, ooh, uh.

I can understand why people are having this reaction. It's a clunker. I wanted to love these songs and do like In My World but Feel About You when considering the talent involved and the past accomplishments of these musicians is an embarrassment.

Sounds like a second cousin to Eyes of the World.

My guess is if you really enjoy Mirage you like this song.

I do enjoy Mirage which is probably why I like this. At first I thought it sounded like a Tango song, but the more I listen the more I hear Mirage instead.

They are Mirage songs without the guitar solos.

What's up with that? Why no guitar solos?

It kills me. I can hear a beautiful solo at the end of FAY.

Why thank you :woohoo: I was about to include something about a phony pony overspeeding on a highway because it is getting ready to sail out of the darkness to fight for Polaris, but that's for another list and forum...

It's and endless list.....

Can't say the same with Lindsey and Christine, especially Chrisitine. :)

Mirage is my least favorite album, but I like this song. I also heard Tango in there but now I kinda hear Mirage too.

I want to change my vote! I picked "It's OK" before reading that there was also an option for "Love the harmonies, song is just OK." The latter is my vote.

The vocal harmonies are nice. I like the retro feel. I don't hold the lyrics against them. There's nothing wrong with a light, breezy song (although I could have done without the magnet/steel line - that one has been claimed).

However, I am not into the electric-xylophone-kiddie keyboard-whatever the heck that plink-plonk is that we hear for the first 15 seconds and throughout the song. It really kills it for me.

Nevertheless, I am most certainly buying this album. It's LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM and CHRISTINE MCVIE. Even at their worst, they're better than most.

ETA: I just read in another thread that the xylophone-sounding thing is properly called a "marimba" - thanks fellow Ledgies!

Oh I thought it was steel drum, but marimba makes more sense.

Was Mick playing?

In the new Mojo article Christine says that she thinks Mirage is a strange album and did not seem happy with it .Why would she agree to have their new album produced in that syle:shrug: Not that is strange.

I agree with you. At least on "Feel About You." It could be wedged in between "That's Alright" and "Book of Love" and not be really out of context.

I think like Stevie, she has no idea what album she is talking about half the time.

I'm not big on these songs at all. Last night I was hanging with my best friends. Their play list was on shuffle. Say Goodbye came on. It reminded that Buck McVie don't have that kind of magic. I will likely buy the CD because that is what a fan does. But I don't see this is as anywhere near their best.

I LOOOOVE "Say Goodbye."
Especially the version on the "Live in Boston" DVD

[StevieNicksfann]

In My World is absolute drivel. But this one I can stomach and I may foresee getting into after repeated listens.

That's how it happened for me. I didn't like it, at first.

Say Goodbye - Live in Vegas 12/30 where LB dedicated it to SN and made her cry. So incredible.

see to me, when i heard Say Goodbye live version for the first time, i actually thought Lindsey has lost it! :lol: i was soooooooooo dissapointed he would go to that Enrique Iglesias / Charles Aznavour land. the guitar part is pretty but the song and the melody? i can't stand it!

just goes to show you how someone's idea of kitsch or dreck is another's idea of perfection, apparently.

I ADORE the melody in that song, especially the LIVE version.:blob1:
Music is subjective. Nobody is right or wrong.
It all comes down to what you enjoy:woohoo:

Although I never could understand how anybody could love "Docklands.":shrug:
But some do, I suppose. :eek:

That is amazing!!!!
I got a hug from her during the Edge walk.

AT the "Timepace" tour at Irvine Meadows, I was dead center front row, and I was the one she handed the bouquet of roses to at the beginning of the show.
Streamers hanging from it and you could even smell her prefume on it a few days after.
I remember when we were walking back to the parking lot after the show, some girl yelled "I'll sleep with you if you give those to me!" LOL!
Being gay, I politely declined LOL

She was out of it sometimes... and then all of the sudden.. something would kick in.. and she was on fire... I was never so close to her.. I was shocked at how big she'd gotten.. but she was still very beautiful. And that's not a knock on her weight.. I now realize what getting old means.. lol
