Back to Christine before I receive the wrath of Homie.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of "One More Night," though I listen to it when it comes on. It's pleasant enough, but the two sections--verse and chorus--never pick up or innovate past the first minute. So, by the end, the song is repetitious. I sense this was a missed opportunity for a well-placed Lindsey solo or a much-needed bridge to change up the monotony.

With re: to the third person, these lyrics, unlike any of Stevie's, appear to have some relationship to a blues song--many of which feature the voice of a wiser, third person narrator commenting on someone's love-gone-wrong with a sort of seasoned knowledge.

Mind you, the song's music is anything but a blues. but the rhetorical set up is there. You see it, in another form, on "One in a Million," too.

Oh my god.

this song is AMAZINGLY good. I love this song -- probably more than anything else on the LIVE album.

"One More Night" is probably one of my top songs of all FM time, & I love playing & singing it on my little organ. The Rhodes suitcase patch, throw on a little chorus & just a touch of overdrive, & it's just the tastiest, funnest thing to get into.

You guys are all stupid. "One More Night" is about as cool as it gets.

Always liked this one. It's got a great feel to it.

Whatever dude. You just stick to playing and singing it, on your little organ!

Don't worry, dave! One of these days, you, too, will truly understand Christine's magical vibe thoroughly enough to be able to "get" the wondrous "One More Night"!

Don't rush it, dave -- it'll come! Let it happen naturally. That special something is waiting for your Christine appreciation & love to mature & ripen, like the rich, red, lustrous apple on the tree, or the golden summer squash on the vine!

Mmmmmmm, squash(drool).
It's soooo slow......Honestly, I've not heard it for years. I burned my own live disc recently, and it had to go, in order to fit it all on one disc.
I'll give it a listen now. Or not.

My sentiments exactly.
Don't exactly hate it, but don't really like it either.

Basically, it commits the ultimate musical sin... it tends to bore me.

See, Landslide bores me. This song is anything but boring to me. But maybe that is because One More Night is not extremely overplayed. I really love the line "You'll come home one night to find she's not sleeping alone". Pretty interesting lyrics...

That's what makes Fleetwood Mac's music especially interesting to me... there's really something for just about everyone.
It's also why our favorite songs (and band members), and the reasons why they're our favorites, all vary so wildly.

I basically love and adore about 98% of Christine's songs... this one has just never knocked my socks off.
I'm really glad that it speaks to you though. I always say that no song is rubbish, as long as it has meaning to someone.
