What song would you choose for the SYW album title?
 
Can't remember if this was already asked.

Say you will is a cool single, though it's the less mystic Stevie song I have hear. Mystic, dark, mistrerious is usually a Stevie style (Sisters of the moon, Sara, GDW..).

Does anybody know why they choose this song for the album title?

And.. what song from the album would you have chosen for the album title?
My choice could be between Destiny Rules and Running Through the Garden.

By the way, does anybody know why they choose Tango in the night for that album title?

I think I might choose Steal Your Heart Away :) Although in my mind that would be a hard choice.

Hmm...I would tend to guess SYW was chosen as the title because it was seen as a "strong song" and/or because of the subject matter: "It always seems to heal the wounds if I can get you to dance". The song has a feel of optimism in the future of FM to me. If another song were to be the title, it would HAVE to be Destiny Rules. Though I "get" why SYW was chosen based on the song, I think DR is a much better title standing alone, and very appropriate for FM. I think someone before has suggested a good title would have been Twist Of Fate, and I think that is excellent, especially with Stevie and Lindsey returning to their B/N dynamic.

I've never heard a specific account of why TITN was named so. I think it's a good album title and sticks with that "mysticism" that we expect from the band.

I was just thining about this yesterday.... I was wondering if there was a few songs put up as contenders and a band vote!

I like Say You Will.. Althou Destiny Rules is good too.. They should have or could have done "What's the World Coming To" and that would have been kind of funny in a way.

"Destiny Rules" seems most fitting to me.

Come

Destiny Rules is too hokey, IMO.

It seems to me that "Destiny Rules" makes the most sense, because it's the whole 'holy crap they still managed to get back together and record an album' notion. The idea of endurance, that destiny does rule and that this band lives on.

...sounds like a VH1 promo...

All I know for sure is that "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" is probably the worst choice out of them all :-) What a weird album title that would have been.

For the same reason I suggested "What's The World Coming To"... In a tongue in cheek kind of way :laugh:

What's The World Coming To is a good title. Little too long to put in that little box in the corner during music videos. Oh wait, they don't make videos.

Running Through the Garden sounds mystical and beautiful if you ask me!
Ummm, Destiny Rules sounds sort of cheesy if you haven't heard how beautiful and catchy the song is...

They made a music video for Peacekeeper, don't you remember how great that was?

'Destiny Rules' is, to me, the best choice. The title says it all. 'What's The World Coming To' wouldn't have been a bad choice either.

I didn't like 'Say You Will' as an album title at first, but it's since grown on me... because I think it has a nice amount of ambiguity to it.

'Come' as a Fleetwood Mac album title? No thanks.
They've already named an album after a penis euphemism, so let's skip the orgasm euphemism. They're not Mötley Crüe, thank you very much. :)

Cristian 08-19-2004 09:03 PM

Come
 
Oh come on...

Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Fleetwood Mac - Mirage
Fleetwood Mac - Live
Fleetwood Mac - Mirage
......
Fleetwood Mac - Come

It just flows too well... :woohoo:
