When I bought Mirage in 1983 it was my least favorite song. I almost hated it and was one of the few songs I would skip on Mirage. One day while the album was playing my mother (who was never really into my music) told me what a beautiful song it was. It was then I gave it a second chance but still no. I could never get over how the vocal started the song. It was not until many years later that the song grew on me. Its such a warm lullaby song, written and sung from the heart. But the jam at the end just is so good. Its in my top list of Mirage songs. Its just so dreamy. Its sort of like Warm Ways that its so mushy. The overdubs are over the top too.
Its sister song is Ask Anybody. Both inspired by the same person with the same dilemma. "They say, I'm a silly girl but I' not a fool" "He's a devil and an angel. They say I should walk out, but that's not what I want"
Its typical McVie falling madly in love with a guy who is not all that great to her.
The ending is one of my favorite jams the Mac has ever done.
