Since she has passed, I "literally" hear her Everywhere.

About 5 min after I typed this last post ^^^^

Sirius XM was advertising downloading their APP, and Everywhere was the last song during the ad. Then it faded out.

Oh IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

That added Stevie bit from the Tango tour is AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet, it's so bad I love to sing it out loud.

A funny story about the Tango Everywhere "I wanna be with you" howl."
Picture it. 1988. I am playing the Tango concert VHS tape loudly in my house. After several howls, my sister comes in the room and says OMG, "I thought that was mom" . She thought it was my mother making that howling sound. My sister was shocked how bad the howl was and actually thought it was someone else doing a parody :lol:

I wonder if she tried to do that in 1997 with LB. And he might have said, "Um, Stevie, let's sing harmonies with straight tones. Less vibrato. :]

Since we are discussing Everywhere, this video always warms my heart recorded in Dublin in 2015. Everywhere was a huge hit in Ireland peaking at #2. The entire arena is singing and you can see Chris smiling and feeding off the energy.

How fun to hear everyone jamming and singing along to Everywhere. I will forever be grateful to Chris, her therapist, Mick, whoever helped her overcome her fear of flying and bringing her back to the stage in 2014-15. That concert was magical. I’ll never forget the crowd erupting when she started singing You Make Loving Fun. It was truly magical.

I never did believe in miracles, but her return was truly a miracle. I'd have wagered 1000s against it ever happening.

[jbrownsjr]

When you look back at it all now, Christine McVie's return was one of the most amazing occurrences that's happened in my life. As I'm sure it's the same for most of you.

I just never saw that happening. It truly was profound and prophetic.

I remember when Elle, Homer and I (maybe others too) were battling the shipper crowd that kept saying Christine ruined those two getting back together. :lol:

Me too. I never thought it could actually happen. I used to dream about it, an impossible dream of course. However, since it was that, the dream included her return with a huge successful album. I think I longed too much. :lol:

Agreed! I never saw this video. I love the audience participation. I’ve been told many times there is no audience as amazing as the crowds in Dublin.

Must say, however, when Stevie entered 2.5 minutes in, she was noticeably off key.

[aleuzzi]

I was there, watching it all and shaking my head. Among the shippers were those who claimed Stevie was the musical architect of the band. So, there’s that...

Just watched this clip about Everywhere by this Youtuber. I quite like this guy.
Though it’s about Everywhere he gives an overview of Tango in the Night in general and the context of the album. It serves as a good tribute to Christine.

I watch that guy all the time but he gets on my nerves because what he can say in 10 minutes takes him 25 minutes. His Edge of 17 video a few months ago was great though.
This sort of opens up the Stevie on backing vocals on Everywhere controversy again. Personally I dont hear her. We were told many moons ago that Lindsey layered his voice to sound like Stevie. But where? I always thought it was Stevie on Family Man and then I heard it was not. Then in that 1987 Lindsey interview before he left he says Stevie is on Family Man. If Stevie is on Everywhere then where did Lindsey layer Stevie sounding vocals? Or maybe that entire premise is false and Lindsey never did that. We know he tinkered with tracks i.e. speeding up Seven Wonders and finishing the last verse of WISYA. Maybe we have all been down a false rabbit hole. Would love a Lindsey book someday but I know he wont do it.
Tango was a huge success globally which is something Mirage and Tusk never was. However its surprising with its MTV videos, radio friendly pop hits that it did not do better in the states. It only hit #7 and then fell swiftly. I know it sold a few million in the states but an album with 4 top 20 hits and regular MTV play, you would think the album would have sold much more and charted higher. IMHO if Little Lies was the first single before Big Love would have promoted the album better.

[FuzzyPlum]

Yeah….I like him too….he has a very diverse musical knowledge.
I hadn’t realised Everywhere wasn’t top 10 in the US. In the UK it hit #4 and was their highest charting song since Peter Green.
It’s interesting what he said about it gathering more streams than any of the 13 songs above it that week. It really is a song that’s culturally more significant than its chart placing.

On another note, he gave a brief mention to Richard Dashut. Does anyone know whether Dashut went to the service for Christine? I presume he did, but he must be in very poor health, so I don’t know whether he could travel.

Everywhere is unique for many reasons. It was huge internationally hitting #1 in Belgium and #2 in Ireland and charted high all across Europe. It did not have the same success in the states and those low budget videos were never played on MTV. I think releasing their live 1987 Tango concert version on MTV would have made the song chart higher in the states. It was used in that UK commercial which made it go silver and then the car commercials made it sell again. It went against the grain a bit. Usually Mac singles always chart higher in the states. When Chris needed to pick a song from Tango for the Dance, it was Everywhere instead of Little Lies.

I wish they did Little Lies on The Dance. Sara too. Little Lies and Sara would have been amazing on The Dance.

“Everywhere” hit #14 in the United States, so it wasn’t exactly small potatoes. “Rhiannon” and “Say You Love Me” both peaked at #11 for perspective.

If anything, it was more difficult to climb the charts in the 80's. So kudos to Christine for nailing it.

Exactly. That was my point. And they were fresh in 1975. And approaching dinosaur status in 1987.

Yes and no. I smell what you are cooking but in the 80s, you could be the crappiest band with a cool video and you would have a hit. At least in the 70s it was all audio and if the song was good, most times it got air play.
Everywhere is that grey area. While there apparently were videos made, they were not shown on MTV. If it was not Fleetwood Mac would the song still have charted without a video? During the early promo days of Tango, they made 3 videos, one for each singer. They did not think much beyond 3 singles and then were on tour with Everywhere was released. It sort of hurt the song IMHO. You can count on one hand the songs not played on MTV that were still big hits.
Everywhere is so whimsical. It would be a tough video challenge. A live version of the song would have been a good video.

Well… this is kinda random…
I’m not a big fan of Watch Mojo, but it was a kinda weird but pleasant surprise to see Everywhere on this list….
Watch Mojo: Top 20 Songs Everyone Has To Hear At Least Once

Everywhere is a lovely song. But….Im very surprised to see it gain a place at number 8 on this list

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThmMU4Lz_8s

[Villavic]

Good list. Of course it's not definitive and not to take it so serious. But I strongly agree with
Fast Car
Like a Rolling Stone
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Stairway to Heaven
Billy Jean
Respect
Stand By Me
Let It Be
What's Going On
Bohemian Rhapsody

Of course those bands/singers have lot of songs to choose instead, including Everywhere, which is a song everyone has to hear at least a dozen times. Does it mean Watch Mojo considers Everywhere as Christine's signature song?

[HomerMcvie]

I would say that YMLF is her signature song.

[BLY]

I would say that YMLF is her signature song.

I would choose Say You Love Me before You Make Lovin Fun. It gets more overall air play. That’s why I would pick Edge of Seventeen over Stand Back for the same reason for Stevie solo.

[FuzzyPlum]

I guess it’s probably different in different countries. I’d say in the UK Everywhere is definitely her signature song.

[jbrownsjr]

I used to think it was SYLM. However, I hear YMLF literally "everywhere". :lol:

I think the masses mostly know Everywhere. Although, on a gay cruise I heard Little Lies a few times.
