4:24
single, 1982
Written by Stevie Nicks
An upbeat song of nostalgia, buoyed by some charming, chiming guitar lines. It evokes Nicks' past in a rosy rearview, living with Lindsey Buckingham, where they slept on a mattress on the floor because they couldn't afford a bed. "So I'm back to the velvet underground / Back to the floor that I love." The "velvet underground" here apparently refers to a clothes store in the famous Haight-Ashbury district where some famous singers shopped for their leather and lace and so on. They were rich and famous when this song came out, but the grass is always greener.
