I wish, however, it had had better production a la "As Long as You Follow." At times in NQA, it seems as if Stevie is singing through a pillow

I totally agree"strand". I also thought that the entire song was recorded in a garbage can. It had a "tinny" sound to it and the vocals always seemed to be buried in the mix.

That all being said, I have always loved this song. It's very upbeat and rocking and anytime Miss Stevie is rocking and letting loose in a song I love it!!

"Not now.
I need you now.
I'm broken hearted --
I broke down
Like a little girl"

That part moves me for some reason.

Also to add about this song - I've always thought that it has such a tremendous build-up. I get excited when I hear the first guitar strains, because it just keeps building up from there with the percussion and bass, and finally the first verse even has a huge build-up about it too, the way she sings "when I see him... I feel him..." I always thought it would make a good concert opener because of the way it builds up, but I doubt we shall ever hear it live

I love this song. It's a song I can relate to.

Why do so many people hate this song?

Maybe this is a misconception?!

Now start the same type of thread about "When I See You Again" and you may get a little different reaction. But I daresay that there will be a few supporters of that one too....cause you see Stevie does really work magic on just about everything she does!

LOL maybe it actually is a misconception. The reason I thought so is because a lot of people in the Rumours forum were saying they wish it had been left off of VBOFM and such. And also the phrase "recorded in a garbage can" is often associated with this song

But judging from this thread, it seems like the majority like the song (at least the majority in this section).

I wouldn't even think of starting a thread for "When I See You Again." *shudders*

Well things are a little more, lets say "objective" in there with more Lindsey fans in the mix. And I say if Lindsey can sing while he's kneeling down on the bathroom floor I think stevie should be able to sing in a garbage can.

Hey speaking of shuddering...is that really you in your avatar?

No problem, Nancy! (It took me a while to realize that you were "the girl behind Buckinhgamnicks.net" which is a site that I visit every so often and find very interesting, well built and informative, too

).

I forgot to say I love the way the guitars are blended to eachother. Lindsey's absence made possible to hear two different guitarists, a very 'marked' rhyhtm guitarist, and over the mix, the lead guitar, which is just great: Fleetwood Mac sounding like a real rock band, even with those synth keyboards, again. Of course at the time I heard that song I was so uninformed about Fleetwood Mac that I couldn't even know that a guy named "Lindsey" wasn't there. What I did know, though, was that the guitars were quite different from what I've been hearing through the rest of the album. Yes, even in "As Long As You Follow".

Song of the moment - Freedom

Whew.....I know Stevie attracts a lot of "weird" people, but vampires

Actually Dan I thought it was a cool avatar, even if it was you.

I'll leave you alone now.

Nice thread!

I think the mix is muddy & has no dynamics, but I like the song, too! It's one of those nice narrow tunes Stevie has written by the bundle. I think it would be nice to have just Stevie's vocal & Mick's drumming on the track & maybe the bass line.
