"Thousand Days"

[David]

"Thousand Days was written about my non-relationship with Prince," says Nicks, who had earlier composed Stand Back with him--although she notes he's never called her back "to set up his payment on 50 percent" of the latter. Days recounts an abortive, all-night '80s recording session with him at his Minneapolis home during a Fleetwood Mac tour, climaxing with Nicks "smoking my pot--he didn't agree with my lifestyle--and going to sleep on Prince's floor in his kitchen. I like him, but we were just so different there was no possible meeting ground."
