Did Christine ever write about Stevie?

I know that all the members wrote constantly about eachother, and Stevie wrote a few songs about Christine, but everyone focuses on Buckingham Nicks and what songs they wrote to eachother, but did Christine ever write any songs about Stevie and their friendship?

She has sometimes said that Songbird was for all of them, but she never said any song was specifically about Stevie, as far as I know.

The only one I ever knew was for Chris was Think About It

I don't really think any of Christines songs were about Stevie though. I couldn't make the connection at least.

A friend and I once discussed the possibility that the lyrics of Say You Will could apply to Christine and how she wouldn't get involved with a new album. "If I can't get you to Dance...." etc.

But as for Christine writing about Stevie, there's nothing I can think of.

Everything about SYW reminds me of Christine, from the lyrics to the title (which makes me think of Say You Love Me) and I also like to grasp onto the words "dance" and "got a hold" because I'm a little desperate.

But I guess it's just wishful thinking. If Stevie was consciously thinking of Chris I think she would have mentioned it, like when she talked about Arturo Sandoval, I think she would have thrown Chris in there too.

Though probably not specifically about Stevie, I always thought it was pretty clear that "All Over Again" was about Christine's feelings toward the band as a whole and the experiences that came along with being a part of it for all those years. She does address a "you" in the song, but I think it's just as much all of the band members as any specific one.

The lyric is "if I can get you to dance". I've also thought about Christine on that but as Stevie does, it also about the lurve relationship. I thought it was interesting that in the SYW shows, she and LB did a little dance....

I think Songbird may have references to all of them for sure. I always think of SnL when I hear "and the songbirds are singing like they know the score". It makes me think of Christine referring to she and John's breakup and how SnL can relate because of their own issues. But, that's just a guess.

I suppose "You Make Loving Fun" was a little bit about Stevie ...?

I like to believe that an unknown Stevie haunted the dreams of Christine McVie, who wrote "Remember Me" in the hopes of this enchanted mystery woman visiting her again in a more reality-based world. To me, just about all of Christine's songs sound like they're about current or former love interests. Why did Stevie write "Think About It"? Is it just about the McVie marriage disintegration or did Chris want to leave the band?

Seriously? *doublechecks* Oh wow, I've had it wrong all this time... But "can" doesn't make that much sense! Oh, hang on. This is Stevie Nicks we're talkng about.

LOL! I sing it "can't" all the time and then try to correct myself. I like the word "can" instead of "can't" - it's more positive, it just sounds funny. Obviously, she likes to dance and thinks it "heals the wounds"....that's why I thought it was cute they did the whole Tusk dance on the tour.

And Chris said that Little Lies might have been a message to Lindsey, because she sensed he was about to leave the band. Michele

I believe that I read somewhere that "Friend" on Christine's lastest album was about Stevie. It does fit the situation.

I've always thought it was more specifically for Mick and John (considering they pretty much kept that band going for 25 years). It was her notice that she was leaving the band, but that she still loved them (Mick and John).

Yes, if I think it's about any member of FM I think it's John.
