Then Stevie heard the song and was like, "Wow, this is really harsh," so she wrote the two verses to "soften the blow."

From a bootleg audio copy of POTU in Atlanta, 2001 TISL tour....
"A little note on this coming-up song. I wrote this song in like, 1977 right at the end of the first two months of recording rumours in Sausilito we stayed there for two months then we went back to LA. So I wrote this song at the end of that and it was really when Lindsey and I were breaking up and It was really... not a nice song and he's been listening to this song on my demos for the last 30 years you know he's always like, passed on that. So, uh, a couple of months ago, i mean not that long ago I decided that I..I just had to write another part to make this song be not such a ..not such a like, the thing about I would never dream because people have asked me like, like you, I can't believe you wrote the words I would never dream and it was just that I was so angry at that moment when I wrote those words and I didn't want to change them because then it would change what I was saying as a writer so anyway, this song is called, and it has it's new part which is the first two verses and it's old part which is just like, a hundred years old and it's called Planets of the Universe."
