Not even a great favourite of mine, Not even the right lyrics but it’s just hanging in there all day..
Makes me smile.

Same here! I liked that we ended up with 2 remixed versions (Chris Lord-Alge?) - a fade version and an edit that ends with "Say You Will, Say You Will Give Me One More Chance".

I recently listened to SYW after a long break and was shocked how bad her vocals are on it. The songs that I thought I liked (Thrown Down & Not Make Believe) sounded so nasally that I couldn't even listen to them.

Upon watching the Destiny Rules, I also arrived at that same realization. It's quite shocking how fast her voice deteriorated between The Dance and Say You Will. The band missed a massive opportunity to immediately follow up The Dance with another studio album. Had that been the case, perhaps Stevie's vocals would have been more serviceable.

I just noticed my mistake. I meant SYW, not DR because that's a good song. SYW is bubblegum garbage.

I really wish Christine had stayed after a 40 date tour.
Then a new FM album, and then another tour.

Skip the whole SYW.

I was really sad when Chris left after the Dance tour also. imo they had such momentum to go ahead and make a great album together.

But I heard from a source around that time, that a big reason why she left was because her marriage was becoming a reeeaaal sh*tshow. She was still hoping it could be salvaged, but she knew it couldn't be saved by staying on the road or focusing on a new album etc. She wanted to completely change her life and BE THERE. Turned out it couldn't be salvaged anyway.

makes me angry that she wasted what might have been terrific years for Fleetwood Mac on someone who wasn't worth it, to a person who really had no intention of fixing anything. I hope she at least found some happiness in those years fixing up her house and finally living near her amazing brother.
