You have a wise friend, indeed. It's one of the best songs on the album and one of Christine's best, period, though for some bizarre reason a lot of fans think it stinks.
My thoughts re: her songs on the white album.
1. They all have a bright disposition, which is kind of unusual for a grouping of Christine songs. (At least one is usually dour.)
2. She sings them beautifully as her voice is in top form here. In many ways her voice from the Heroes-to-Rumours period represents her at her best.
3. Over My Head is one of those simple songs that actually benefits from its simplicity, a very straightforward, unadorned verse, with an emotionally-shaded, bittersweet chorus. I love her humming in the middle of it!
4. Say You Love Me is a masterpiece of pop. It never sounds dated or tired. This moment is beautifully performed and conceived by every member of the band. Great guitar solo--and check out those bass lines in the coda at the end!
5. World Turning is a reworking of a Peter Green song that, I think, is equal parts Buckingham-McVie. His guitar work is certainly brilliant, but it's the vocal interchanges that continue to stun me. Man can she belt the blues! Their timbre of their voices is so alike in this song that when they sing the second half of if together I can't tell who is who.
