Instead of Temporary One.

[Villavic]

This is just for fun, cause I don't even know when she wrote those songs. But if instead of Temporary One, she had played in The Dance show a song that actually appeared in In the Meantime, or in BuckVie, what song would you choose?

I like Game of Pretend, I wish I had listened that song as another piece of the Fleetwood Mac sound. But it would be interesting also Red Sun or Liar, with a Lindsey's touch.

[SteveMacD]

Wasn’t “Easy Come, Easy Go” considered?

As much as Christine is my momma, Game of Pretend is my second least favorite song on BuckVie. Lay Down For Free is #1 on the sh1t list.

Agree. Don't like either of those tunes.

[jbrownsjr]

I'd love to hear Forgiveness. It's far superior to boring Temporary One.

I love Forgiveness—one of her best tunes ever. So yes!

But Temporary One isn’t boring to me at all.

Game of Pretend — it should have been Christine on the piano, no back up voices. The first verse sounds great to my ears. The moment Lindsey enters with those breathy harmonies, the song is ruined.

Nothing hits on a nail! But when she do, I think about you.

Lay Down For Free... could have been so much better. Love the lyrics.. but the arrangement is NOT "out there" or exciting in any way shape or form.

[BigAl84]

LDFF has one of the best power pop grooves on the entire album. Reminds me of the Shins song Phantom Limb.

It reminds me of “Hold Me.” At least the chorus.

That's ~dirty wh0re mouth~ to you!!!:lol:

LDFF sucks, because it's too repetitive, and I find that lick that runs through the song annoying af.

ANNNDDDDDDD, it sounds like a drum machine, not Old Dick.

So you were born with all types of genitalia, right? So when someone says "go F*** yourself!", you actually can?

LDFF is a good song played blandly. The drums I think are automated. Some organ and harmony vocals by Christine would have helped tremendously.

Makes me want to exactly that, Lay down for free. :mad:

[FuzzyPlum]

Nothing wrong with Temporary One….lovely little upbeat song with some meaningful lyrics. Not her best but still good.
Certainly not to be replaced by Liar. I couldn’t envisage that as a FM song.
IMHO LDFF is okay. Kinda bland but it’s okay. Was it played on tour? I think it could be tons better live.

It was and it was slightly better. But, my mind was made up. haha

If I have to list the new Dance in order of favorites:

Bleed to love her
Sweet girl
Temporary one

[aleuzzi]

To my way of thinking, Temporary One is the best of the new songs. And I enjoy all four of them.

But if we’re playing a “what if” game, “Anything Is Possible” might have sounded great, too. The tune would have to be “up” in order for the set pacing to work.

[jmn3]

Just going to totally forget about My Little Demon eh?

This Temporary One slander is blasphemy. It’s as solid of a Christine number as anything she had released in the prior 10 years. I think it fits perfect with The Dance era in so many ways!

Lay Down for Free is not bad IMO but it’s very forgettable.

[BigAl84]

I like Temporary One a lot, but who is Suzy!?

Unnfortunately it was written long before The Dance, but don't worry I'll look for an interesting chapter

Bleed to Love Her (one of Lindsey’s best ever FM songs)

Temporary One (Solid)

Sweet Girl (Nope)

Sweet Girl

It’s such a dud of a song and I hate its location on the album. But then you fast forward 6 years and compare to Silver Girl which makes Sweet Girl sound like a freaking masterpiece.

They are two totally different girls.

[WalkAThinLine.]

Imagine Slow Down during The Dance!

That would have been great, but "Temporary One" was still a satisfactory new offering from McVie

[Villavic]

They are two totally different girls.

But are Greta and Sara the same girl?

What about Rhiannon an Annabel Lee?

[jbrownsjr]

That would have been great, but "Temporary One" was still a satisfactory new offering from McVie

Maybe so, but I think she could have offered better. Got A Hold On Me would have been a great marketing choice for her in that show as well.

Well if we’re just getting weird with the alternative Dance choices - Hold Me, Little Lies, As Long as You Follow, Hollywood, or Nights in Estoril. As for Got a Hold On Me, she should have never just dropped her solo hit from the world. It should have been as much of a Fleetwood Mac staple as Stand Back became starting in 1987.

Yep, agree completely. It is such a great tune.

Except she lacked the ego of Old Goatsy. But I agree.

I think Love Will Show Us How would've been a better choice.

[jbrownsjr]

Change out My LIttle Demon for Got A Hold On Me
Change out Temporary One for Slow Down!

Yes. Those pitch-altered chipmunk harmonies he slathered on the chorus turn what could’ve been a beautiful song into a joke.

[Mr Scarrott]

Christine must have felt pressured to bring a new song to the project but Temporary One was just bland and sounded as if it might have been written by an early AI package. It almost dies of boredom part way through; the applause after it was almost embarrassed. Of the three new songs, I only really liked Stevie's.

At the risk of my being a bore, they should have resurrected Why instead, with those beautiful Lindsey/Stevie harmonies. It wouldn't have eclipsed Silver Springs but it wouldn't have been far off.

Wow, my 500th post. I never thought I would reach that.

I'm glad someone has some taste. I thought Sweet Girl was a great song. There's really nothing compelling about the music in Temporary One. I like the lyrics, but it just sort of dies on the vine.

Exactly, it just feels like a rare mis-step from Chris, which is a shame. Oh yeah, and I forgot BTLH! I do like that one, especially the studio version as it's the one post-Tango song with just the five 75-87 members on it.

I used to not care for this one. I've grown to really like it. I like the live version the best.

She has gone on record saying she brought a few songs, but the band chose TO because of its tempo.

She hinted she thought some of the other songs may have been stronger, in her view.

But I love TO. The band chose well…

Christine chose it FOR YOU.

Temp One doesn't do it for me, much like One More Night doesn't either. It never really gets off of the ground. I do like it better than Sweet Girl.

I would LOVE to hear Love Shines with that '97s live sound. And with new backing vocals!!

But I'm totally sure that they needed to leave very very behind that 1990-1995 past, so well buried, send it flowers and forget it :D
