Christine Suggests Bandmates To Write For Each Other

pauls90 · #1 07-24-2015, 01:14 PM

So I tried to see if anyone posted this, but thought it was interesting she would suggest this so publicly.

Quote:

christinemcvieofficial: It might be an interesting thing to do for the next Fleetwood Mac record... to write a song for Lindsey to sing or vice versa... or for Stevie to write a song for me and see what would happen... That would be an interesting direction to go in.

I wonder how hard Lindsey and Christine are pushing for this idea behind the scenes. Do you think they could get Stevie down for it at this point?

That is interesting. It reminds me of the Hold Me conversation in the limo. Clearly, Christine could hear Lindsey on those verses she'd written.

I mean, Christine could sing Say You Will. I think it was written as an imitation of her writing.

And I've always said that Miranda sounded like something Stevie could sing.

And of course, we've had that time Stevie talked about Lindsey on WISYA.

Is there a video or a transcript of this conversation? What do we know about it exactly?

I saw this post. I think it's a wonderful idea. The more a band is a band.. the better they are. The power of this 5 group of people is incredible.

Agreed, I'd definitely be more interested in a project with that kind of angle.

Christine will make it happen. The woman can moves mountains.
If there was ever a person to get Lindsey and Stevie in a mutual space, it's Christine McVie.

Yes .Christine reminds me of my late sister.She was the family referee,Holiday get together organizer and family moderator.She got my divorced mother and father along with my stepfather under the same roof for the holidays.

In time Chris will make it happen.Shockingly she's back with the band.

I love this idea. As someone said in the comments on FB, "Angel" from "Tusk" which was sung by Stevie sounds like it could have been written by Christine.

There's just a bad audio tape. It's one of the "limo" conversation tapes. She's not saying anything other than that she asked Lindsey to sing on Hold Me and Stevie objected.

Huh? This was just posted on FB. I can't see this being pulled from an old interview.

I'm not talking about this quote from Christine that was just on Facebook.

All I said is that what she said NOW reminds me of the old (more than 30 years old now) limo tape thing about Hold Me.

All i meant is that I think she has written with Lindsey's voice in mind before, probably because she liked the result on Don't Stop.

And also reminds me that the Macsters sound like each other on Say You Will (the song) and Miranda. And of course we have Lindsey on Crystal, as well.

Social media lackey dug deep for this 'new' quote!!!

SONGWRITER CONNECTION, 1984

http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.ph..._v2&id=780&c=2

You’ve done a lot of co-writing for your solo album, but there hasn’t been a lot of co-writing among the members of Fleetwood Mac.

CM: It might be an interesting thing to do for the next Fleetwood Mac record…to write a song for Lindsey to sing or vice versa…or for Stevie to write a song for me and see what would happen. Or as you say to co-write a bit more. That would be an interesting direction to go in. We’re going to try and do something different this time, and away from even what we expect to do. We haven’t really formed any concrete plan at the moment, but whatever it is, it’s going to have a twist.
