“Everywhere” Production
This past week, following a viewing of a brief documentary on how 10cc’s “I’m Not In Love” got made, I listened to “Everywhere” in one of my more cavernous rooms and realized how incredible the production really is. The lush, angelic choir of voices popping out of the speaker, the arresting introductory camp underpinned by an earthy yet spacey backing track—the whole thing is exquisite, and very 10cc’s-like.
I still prefer Little Lies (and SYLM, YMLF, and HM to “Everywhere”—not including about a dozen other non-hits) but I now have a renewed enthusiasm and appreciation for it. It’s exciting to rediscover this. |

Everywhere on my 2 Home Pods (left channel/right channel) sounds so crisp and not dated at all. It's fresh and invigorates the palette and stuns the senses. The production is genius. And, it's still very much Fweeetwood Mac (as Christine calls it).

^^^ I was broken for a bit when he left. I wanted to hear him perform this album. AND SEE THIS TOUR WITH HIM.
I did love the BTM show. It was fantastic. Shakin the Cage was a bit generic.

I was confused by this picture- had to look it up. It is indeed from the set of the LL video. The TITN deluxe set includes a similar pic taken of him in the same outfit and other LL images of the other band members. btw, what's not to like about the LL video? I agree its bitter-sweet due to Lindsey's leaving...but its a lovely video all the same.

In a way, I feel it completes the mythical identity that had been part of their appeal since Stevie and Lindsey joined. I remember Rolling Stone's review saying it sounded like the band members were 'calling out to each other from the turrets of a castle through the mist,' (or something). I was thrilled to see Richard on the recent BBC documentary about Christine, demonstrating that the iconic tinkly opening to Everywhere was actually Lindsey playing a half-speed guitar that had been sped up, rather than a Fairlight as everyone had assumed. There's a lot more about Lindsey's incredible production in this great Salon article: https://www.salon.com/2017/04/02/he-...-in-the-night/ |

Anyway, over the years, the album became irresistible. Only Stevie’s two duds on side two ruin the flow. Still, there’s a heart to “Gypsy” and a warm optimism to “Hold Me” and “Love In Store” that is absent on TANGO. It’s a smart record that expertly—and cohesively—documents estrangement. One hears in it a distance that undermines the band’s trademark chemistry. But that estrangement is its own aesthetic, and it’s compelling. Last edited by aleuzzi; 05-11-2021 at 09:00 AM.. |

Oh I do like it, but not that much. Maybe because of the fuzzy images by moments, but most of all I think it's because they hardly smile (I think the only smile I saw was at 1:12 minute). Chris looks gorgeous (Stevie too). But her eyes are a bit sad. I actually enjoy more the Seven Wonders video.

One might argue that Mirage is the same, but I'd disagree. Mirage had an organic sound. It sounded like a band playing. No one can say that about Tango. And live, Mirage was the last time they were a BAND, not carrying a backup orchestra.

Everywhere is a cute song (album version) but the brilliance of it is lost in the programmed synth sound. Its fine in an elevator and it ran out of gas in the mid teens without being a bigger hit. The band took it to new levels live in concert. I can only imagine a studio version of this. The song has an incredible melody and the faster tempo live really makes you dive into the song that makes you sing along. Its also more organic (to use a Lindsey term). The album version is fine and cute but I will take the live version any day. Its brilliant. It could have been the biggest hit of the album IMHO.

Everywhere is one of those FM songs like Rhiannon and Landslide where i dislike the studio version but love most of the various live versions.
I do agree that Mirage does feel like a band actually playing vs Tango which feels heavily produced and very 80's with some of the production. When I met Mick in 2009 he said the reason why they added all the back up players was because they wanted the songs to sound as close to the records as possible. The worst tours in my opinion for the back up band was 2003-2004, and 2018-2019. Far too many people on the stage. I find SN can't hit the big notes much these days so the backup singers do most of the heavy lifting. I wonder if they would ever have the guts to drop the backup members and do some shows like the old days. |

Maybe 25 years ago. Not now. Hell, NONE of them have much of a voice these days.
