That said, when I think of the atmosphere and what she was trying to write, I can see potential in the concept but at the time, she could neither write, nor sing to the standard the song would have called for. Had she drawn on some of the lyrics from the chain demo, maybe it could've worked somehow.

Her vocal on this song is excellent, but this song is bland and boring and never belonged on a Fleetwood Mac. As far as it being her worst song, she recorded more bad songs like Freedom, Paper Doll, No Questions Asked and The Second Time.

No Questons Asked and Paper Doll were on Best of Fleetwood Mac albums and that is a tragedy. However, she also put the putrid, god-awful Desert Angel and Loves a Hard Game to Play on a Best of Stevie Nicks album.

Sometimes she is not dealing with a full deck. Best of albums are important because they sale for the long run and she should not put bad songs on them.
