"You May Be The One"

Clearly this song is about Fleetwood Mac ~ verse three is about Lindsey, while the fourth is about Mick ~ but who are the first two about??? John in the first (But what "kiss?!?") and Christine in the second???

I'm confused...why is it clearly about Fleetwood Mac? It may well be about one member, but I don't think she wrote a verse per bandmate. What makes you think so?

Hmmmmm......you could be right.....maybe she's alternating the verses between two people. Maybe verses one and three are about Lindsey and two and four are about Mick (I don't think verse two could be about Lindsey, what with the "mystery to me" lyric...that's classic Stevie refering to early Fleetwood Mac!)

I still think, though, that this could be about the band ~ "We were magic" ~ it just has that kind of vibe, sort of like the "five fireflies!"

One of my favorite Stevie tracks ever

that song just explodes with emotion. Man oh man, I remember on my first listen of IYD, I did not get past that song for a long while..i played it again and again.

Mick

TOTALLY agree.....it did something for me that a Stevie Nicks track hasn't done in a long time, and that's surprise me!
This cut bodes very well for the standards album Stevie's long said she wants to do!
Maybe a mix of originals and covers?!?

I agree......and I think Stevie was always thinking of a mix of stuff...."At Last". etc.

Would still love to see her do it, particularly after this track....but I'd also like to see the country album,,,,,and the Christmas album....and the duet album......and the "songs written by guys" album....and.....!!!!!

You Might Be the One?? Isn't it You May Be the One?

I love the blues flavor of this song! This is a slooooooow dancing type song, and a feel good one too! What can I say, LOVE IT!

Maybe it's not about Fleetwood Mac at all. It could be about someone else. How can we know? personally I think it's about Buckingham, but that's just moi

Ha. Yes, if Stevie had sat down and done anything that structured, I think she'd talk about it. "Let's see: I'll write a line for each band member in order of their age . . . "

I like use of the phrase "mystery to me" just like I like "it's not enough that you say you love me," but in my heart of hearts, I'm pretty sure they weren't nods to Christine. I doubt that Stevie even knows Chris has a song called MTM. She might have known that in 1975, but I doubt she remembers it today.

But I would like to know what songs are about John. I know Chris has some, but if Lindsey and Stevie have any lyrics that are specifically about him, I wish they would tell us. Heck, why am I stopping with John??

I imagine that Stevie and Lindsey write about Chris (in addition to Think About It) and that Chris writes about them (in addition to Little Lies), but if any of them want to talk about their songs to each other, I'm all ears for that too!

I love this song, she has a voice that is made to sing the blues. She should embrace it. It sounds like she wrote it about events that may have taken place during and after the Say Your Will album and tour, IMO. It screams Lindsey to me. I think that John, Mick and Stevie could and should make a blues album, not sure if Lindsey would be into that though.
