An amazing tribute to an amazing song. You just nailed it.
It is said that we don't get to choose our memories. One of mine is sitting on a huge leather couch in 1975 as this song poured through a Yamaha stereo as the green glow from the meters filled the darkened room. It was then, that I discovered the power of music to change reality.
I'm grateful for those that chose that memory for me...and for you for taking me back once again.
That album was one of the mainstays at the time, when I did college radio. Indelibly Stamped - Supertramp was another, and not just because of the album cover 😎. Good post.
Great writing about one of my favorite Mac songs. Also, this is the second time I've seen Bob Welch's name mentioned in a Substack in the last two days — all while I'm in the midst of writing something about Bare Trees. Are we entering the Welchmania phase of the coming apocalypse?

Horrible album cover but a fabulous hypnotic song that should have been huge. Agree, Rastro.

We definitely saw the same Gary Trujillo post. :-) I wrote a note about that but didn’t put it with the post, maybe I should have.
Bare Trees is my favorite Fleetwood Mac album. I became a fan of the band because of Mystery to Me and was underwhelmed by their later incarnation.
It's a truly wonderful LP.
