Default Instead of Temporary One.

This is just for fun, cause I don't even know when she wrote those songs. But if instead of Temporary One, she had played in The Dance show a song that actually appeared in In the Meantime, or in BuckVie, what song would you choose?

I like Game of Pretend, I wish I had listened that song as another piece of the Fleetwood Mac sound. But it would be interesting also Red Sun or Liar, with a Lindsey's touch.

Wasn’t “Easy Come, Easy Go” considered?

As much as Christine is my momma, Game of Pretend is my second least favorite song on BuckVie. Lay Down For Free is #1 on the sh1t list.

Agree. Don't like either of those tunes.

I'd love to hear Forgiveness. It's far superior to boring Temporary One.

I love Forgiveness—one of her best tunes ever. So yes!

But Temporary One isn’t boring to me at all.

Nothing hits on a nail! But when she do, I think about you.

Game of Pretend — it should have been Christine on the piano, no back up voices. The first verse sounds great to my ears. The moment Lindsey enters with those breathy harmonies, the song is ruined.

Yes. Those pitch-altered chipmunk harmonies he slathered on the chorus turn what could’ve been a beautiful song into a joke.

Christine must have felt pressured to bring a new song to the project but Temporary One was just bland and sounded as if it might have been written by an early AI package. It almost dies of boredom part way through; the applause after it was almost embarrassed. Of the three new songs, I only really liked Stevie's.

At the risk of my being a bore, they should have resurrected Why instead, with those beautiful Lindsey/Stevie harmonies. It wouldn't have eclipsed Silver Springs but it wouldn't have been far off.

Wow, my 500th post. I never thought I would reach that.

I'm glad someone has some taste. I thought Sweet Girl was a great song. There's really nothing compelling about the music in Temporary One. I like the lyrics, but it just sort of dies on the vine.

She has gone on record saying she brought a few songs, but the band chose TO because of its tempo.

She hinted she thought some of the other songs may have been stronger, in her view.

But I love TO. The band chose well…

Lay Down For Free... could have been so much better. Love the lyrics.. but the arrangement is NOT "out there" or exciting in any way shape or form.

LDFF has one of the best power pop grooves on the entire album. Reminds me of the Shins song Phantom Limb.
