I dont know what it is, but I've never really listrened to this song much. Maybe cause its on the box set, I'm not sure. But I'm really getting into it lately alot. WHo else likes it?

I have always loved this song, not hurt by the fact that it contains one of my all time favorite lyrics:

If I had known this was only a dream, I would have waken from this sleep

Then again, I love just about everything Buckingham has ever recorded, so I'm just a little biased.

I'm guessing he just decided to leave it off of OOTC and throw it onto he box set?

I like it quite a lot. The music of it is unusual. The vocal grates fey like in some parts, and sometimes it's a little plinky plink for my mood, but overall I think it's exceptional.

Not sure.

My Buckingham obsession is waning, so I'm a bit rusty on my trivia.

Fair enough. I kinda figured that since they both came out in 1992. But I could be wrong.

Strange song, but then again - its totally something Lindsey would do

I love the guitar riff in this song - one of his best!

I hardly ever listen to it ... it's a little strange to me. I do love Goodbye Angel on the boxest, though.

I like it a lot - one of his better songs to my non-Buckingham-Nicks-obsessed mind. It reminds me of old Steve Miller songs

I thought it was a Mirage cut?

I believe Peter Lewry listed it as a 'Mirage' outtake in his book, 'Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Recording Sessions, 1967-1997,' but that's incorrect.

Sounds more like an 1987-ish era track that didnt make the Tango album perhaps?

This song would have to be post-1990, since it is (at least, seems to ME, anyway) a dig at Fleetwood Mac & Behind The Mask.

And, Lindsey is playing a sitar on this one...at least, the main riff of the song is played on it.

Make Me A Mask was recorded during the Out of the Cradle era. Probably Lindsey decided not to put it on the album because it didn't really "fit" with the other songs, I suppose.

Thank you for that information.
