The Fleetwood Mac song Christine McVie was most proud of writing
by Joe Taysom for Far Out –
The late Christine McVie was a crucial component to the success of Fleetwood Mac despite not being a founding member of the group. She contributed immensely to their unique sound, crafting some of their most beloved tracks, but additionally, McVie was a peacekeeper who was integral in keeping band dynamics harmonious.
With different songwriting approaches, artists can often spend countless hours over months trying to complete a song in an attempt to strive for perfection. Alternatively, they can also stumble upon a piece of musical gold from nowhere, and in the case of McVie, the song which many recognise as her magnum opus was inexplicable.
McVie consistently wore her heart on her sleeve with her lyrics, which dealt with the trials and tribulations of her life. Whether this was dealing with her divorce from John McVie on ‘Don’t Stop’ or paying tribute to her bandmate Mick Fleetwood on ‘Oh Daddy’, McVie was always best equipped at saying how she felt through song.
