I SERIOUSLY doubt Donovan had Stevie in mind when he wrote "Try For The Sun", nor even knew of her existence. Lindsey just covered it somewhere along the lines during the "Gift Of Screws" sessions, along with covering four relatively obscure Rolling Stones tunes ("She Smiled Sweetly", "Blue Turns To Grey", "Gotta Get Away" & "The Singer Not The Song"). I also seriously doubt that EVERYTHING Lindsey writes is about Stevie and vice versa...no matter HOW it may seem like it in our fantasies.

LOL....I know he didn't write it...but, he did change some of the words...and like Nancy said...lol...he HAD to have known what ppl would think. I mean, "his gypsy girl"??? The song just has Buckingham/Nicks written all over it. He HAD to have been thinking of himself and Stevie when he heard/decided to cover this song. No, I don't think Donovan had Stevie in mind...but Lindsey sure as heck did...LOL.
And, you're right...as much as I would love for ALL of their songs to be about each other...I know that that is not so...but, lol...this one is...I'm just sure.
