Fleetwood Mac Forum

Have you guys heard this new song by Colbie Caillat called "Falling for You?" It sounds like a 1977-1982 Fleetwood Mac updated for 2009. The guitar licks are straight out of Gypsy and Hold Me, especially the solo at the end of the song, and the feel and tempo are very much like something Christine would have written.

I wonder if Lindsey played on it?

Have not heard it yet and i'm at the office so i cannot download it to listen, but you got me dreaming Pedro : Colbie Caillat is performing here in Antwerp on july 20th. LB has time off now, so if only .....

You can hear the song at her myspace site:

Notice the Hold Me-like guitar licks after the choruses and the Gypsy-like flowery solo at the end of the song.

Interestingly, apparently it's co-written by Rick Nowels (who has worked with Stevie) and produced by Nowels, John Shanks (who worked on Trouble In Shangri-La) and her dad Ken Caillat.

She was interviewed on Belgian TV but she did not mention Lindsey.
After listening to the song a few times i do hear a bit of Hold Me at the beginning, but to be honest .. if you had not pointed it out Pedro, i would never have noticed
Guess the guitar player must have been influenced by LB.

i can totally hear it as well. like suzy, i probably would have never picked up on it, had it not been pointed out.

i hear a lot of the "hold me" feel it has going on

To me it sounds like whoever the guitarist is was listening to the Mirage album and got some ideas from it.

well, I think the hold me and gypsy fragments are totally ripped off. This song could have done better though, with some more powerful drums, (Come on Mick, you're good at puttin' life into such quite simple and boring radiosongs. Call Ken!) And Lindsey: write a nice bridge for this song, because this one ruins everything!
