Looking at the writing credits on IYD, Stevie wrote the lyrics to everything. Dave is credited with a co-writing credit for writing or co-writing the music on "In Your Dreams", "Wide Sargasso Sea", "Moonlight" (chorus only), "Everybody Loves You", "Ghosts Are Gone", "You May Be The One", "Italian Summer" and "Cheaper Than Free".

That means that 8 out of the 13 tracks (14 if you include "My Heart") were created during or specifically for IYD.

We already know that WSS, Moonlight, You May Be The One and Italian Summer were already written as poems before Dave's involvement. Everybody Loves You was a 4 line chorus that Stevie wrote verses to accompany. IYD came out of Jam session and was very much a group effort.

Sorry, but I fail to see how Elle could possibly have any point when making a claim like "Stevie doesn't have any songs" since well over half her last album was already done by the time Dave Stewart touched it, and the majority of her songs on the last Fleetwood Mac album were new. She may be older and have slowed down the amount that she writes, but that hardly means she has nothing.

Agreed - IYD (and to a similar extent, TISL), was such a refreshing return to form, particularly given that Stevie basically had nothing new to bring to the table for SA.
