I too love this song.

I just wish we had any idea about what or who it is really about! I've heard most of the speculations, but what do you guys really think?

I believe this song had the potential to climb up the charts. Unfortunately it was never performed live. RTTG and DR were performed on the opening night in Columbus, and were instantly dropped, which was also a mistake in my opinion. RTTG was great live, and of all the new songs from SYW it got the best reactions from the crowd.

Ah I completely agree! RTTG and DR should have def stayed on the setlist. And I know in the Destiny Rules documentary they do Everybody Finds Out during rehearsal, so it seems like they thought about putting it in the set but decided not to. Mistake 3 FM! Damn them! Their SYW setlist could have been mind blowing.

I could see why they didn't do the song in concert. It's full of instances where the next line of the song starts before the current line ends, .e.g, "...she's done it a thousand times/When love starts out in the darkness..." I'll bet it sounds sloppy when you try to recreate it on stage- you either have to drop the last word of the sentence or start the next sentence midstream.

That's what the back up singers are for.

Absolutely. Good point. Plus, I get the feeling that Big Mama would be huffing & puffing trying to keep up with the tempo.

Yeah in rehearsal she had to skip over words. I can see why they didn't do it, but I still wish they had!

I even went as far as going to Stevie's website and printing off the lyrics to read along (so as not to miss a word..lol).

What are my fellow Ledgies opinions of this tune? Do any of you have any info on the origin of it? Any articles or interviews of Stevie talking about the song?

I don't want to be too bold yet, but, this is pretty close to becoming my favorite song on the Say You Will album!! I LOVE it!!

i have nothing to say but i freaking LOVE this song
it's the best track on SYW....
and i think it would be #$*@ing FIERCE live!!!!!!

i dont know what this song is about
except a woman having an affair with a man she shouldnt
that's enough to leave me happy

Just like everybody else, I think this song is amazing, one of the Say You Will stand outs. And the end builds up with this manic energy from the synths that is nearly unmatched anywhere else on the album. The ONLY problem I have is the fact that it fades out at then end. Practically every Fleetwood Mac song does and sure they're much more comfortable with that type of ending, but the aforementioned manic energy shouldn't just peter out. It should continue building to an even more incredible climax! Which I'm sure is how it would have been done live, one of the many reasons it should have been done live.

^I love the song and don't have a problem with the way it ends at all, but you've just reminded me of the first time I heard it...there was this really intense build up at the end with

"When nobody sees them
At least, not together
She rarely goes out
She spends every day
Waiting for the day...
When everybody finds out"

I don't think it ruined the song at all by continuing on with that last bit, but I clearly remember being surprised that it went on after that climax. I don't know if those particular lyrics should have ended the song or not, but it would be fun to hear and alternate version where it ends with that same kind of intensity.
