Chris's singing seems so heartfelt with so much stripped away. You can feel her emotion. At first listen on the album version it seems like such a happy love song if you dont pay attention to the lyrics so much. But this acoustic version breaks your heart.

"please don't leave me all alone cause I cant make it on my own"

"when you held me in your arms. I might be wrong but that's where I belong"

"Why are you such a sweet memory"


Its almost like this is the Why of Heroes Are Hard to find.
It does sound more emotional with all those strings stripped away.

1974 was a pretty bad year for the McVies...
