definitive pop song by Buckingham featured on definitive Lp of exceptionally cool songs...our homage to him and his band.
fleetwood mac guitar ramsey
some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
think back to when Gary Numan wrote and recorded 'Cars' in 1979 and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools... can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll..

Story behind the song
we have several versions of this song of which we did two years ago, this being the latest mix as I wanted to strip back all of the band (exception being Gary's original acoustic guitar) leaving just myself and Gary - this song by Buckingham is a bitter sweet pop masterpiece and had FM radio clamouring over it (still does) - have tried to present the sadness, melancholy and gravitas of the original sentiment, which surely must have been in the ether in some form at some stage during the writing and recording process all those years ago.
Lyrics
...you can call it another lonely day another lonely day you can go your own way

Certainly a very different version to the original, so much so I feel its an emotional story you have told so well friend.

This version has tons of emotion in it. What a really great interpretation. It truly benefits from being stripped down to the bone in this way. Very inventive...I like it.

Definitely went your own way. A very original take of this great song. Good work Guess Stevie never did get over it since she had Lyndsey kicked out of band in 2018.

That’s a great alternative version ! Great guitar and sorrowful vocals which adds what you are trying to portray which is the sadness of the situation between Nicks and Buckingham . As you say at the time of writing and recording there must have been a lot of sadness and you have portrayed that brilliant. The sadness then turned to anger between them and you can see the tension and angst towards each other in their later live performances, which made their performance of the song very believable! Can you imagine the tension that must have been going on throughout that ! Must have been a nightmare for the other members of the band ! Brilliant work Greg !

You've made this song your own! You have definitely captured the more emotional side to this song & highlighted the intensity of the feelings behind the lyrics. Excellent job!
