Yes Mick was in charge as long as Stevie, LB and Chris let him. (in that order)

I love this song too! I'm always switching back and forth between Fireflies and Gypsy as my favorite Stevie FM song. I think of this song as a better reflection of FM rather than The Chain.

Good point! I never thought of it that way.

I don't know... I think quiet, unassuming Christine had more influence in that band than we may think.

The only line that is odd to me is the "like a sailing ship, not one of us runs." Who knew ships could get up and run.

For years I thought she sang: "Like a sailing ship, tossed upon the rocks"
I think I finally found the lyrics in a music book and was surprised.

"some call it my Nightmare, my 5 fireflies"
