Wow! I expected to be let down from high expectations but this did not. Way more impressive then that movie soundtrack song. This is probably second only to Midnight Wind where I think Stevie's presence as "the guest" takes the song into anther orbit. If anything that was always the coolest thing about young Stevie. Her ability to have her bg vocals take over and dominate a song. Even something as minor as her singing loudly on the over my head live versions of the 70s was common back then. This past Fleetwood Mac tour I thought Stevie would put a little of that magic on world turning with Christine back to sing the lead vocals. But this was not the case. While Stevie has added some serious fire to her own songs live recently ( GDW and Moonlight in particular) I had given up that a song "featuring Stevie nicks" would ever be significant again beyond "well I guess it's sort of cool to hear Stevie's pleasantly nasal vocals making Santa clause is coming to town a bit more Erie" and always prepared myself not to get let down like Sheryl crows cmon cmon where basically if you during the volume up to 11 at the chorus you can kind of hear Stevie shouting this chord terribly both incredibly loud and yet sounding like a whisper.

But after all that rambling this new song gives me hope she may get back to her song stealing ways. BBBP (am I first to alliterate? I like it) in the tail end of her career. Second to midnight wind for me personally. Better then gold. Better then whenever I call you friend. Even better then anther favorite, ebony eyes .
