"And then the passing of Christine McVie only days to follow. This song of hers has been in my head for days now. Fleetwood Mac has always been my favorite band for the woman who lead it.

"Our most accurate perception of one’s truest qualities are only seen in light of their departure. Only in our memory are the ones we have lost perfect. All the negative qualities fade away and way we can 'love them like never before'…

"I love this song because it is for everyone. It can be sung in mourning, in celebration of life and in falling in love. Whichever state you’re in its sung for you in that moment.

"Sending love to those who have loved and lost recently. The deeper the grief the greater the love… but aren’t we lucky to have known it…"
