![]() We’re not sure why the video for this track is set on an abandoned farm, but we’ll try and put that in the past. Opening with a chanted “Why don’t you ask him if he’s going to stay?” before moving into a shriek of “Just tell me that you want me”, it’s paranoid, aggressive, and totally brilliant. The track set the record for the highest number of musicians performing on a single, and considering that it came in the wake of ‘Rumours’, still went to #6 in the UK. That drum tattoo you hear at the start of ‘Tusk’? It’s actually the University of Southern California’s Trojan Marching Band. “I’m not a child any more, I’m tall enough to reach for the stars.” It’s not easy, it’s always complicated, but that’s how life is sometimes, they sing. ![]() Melancholic harmonies between Nicks and McVie lament the loss of innocence, but also look forward to change and growth. Out of kilter with ‘Tusk’s mainly new-wave vibe, ‘Beautiful Child’ is a sweet respite towards the end of the album.
