Songfacts®:

  • Speaking to My Rockworld, frontman Glenn Hughes said he wrote this song, "about my travels and always returning home, always safe... to get back home to a safe place."
  • Hughes told Blues Rock Review how he created the song with guitarist Joe Bonamassa.

    "We're always jamming, Joe and I, and I may have been tuning my bass up and he starts playing [hums riff] and I'm going, 'Don't stop! Carry on. What key is this?' I found out we were in B and I'm, like, 'This is great.' And then I started to sing, 'Oh, when I come around.' I know what's coming. I know when there's going to be a pre-chorus and when the chorus hit I started to play these Beatles kind of chords in a rock version and we just knew this was a song.

    Of course, the Fleetwood Mac part is Joe being Joe, but, as you know, Joe will say to you he's just borrowing from somebody else as I borrow from X, Y or Z. Trust me, we all borrow from each other."

    Aside from being able to clearly hear the "L's" in "hollow," watch the video and you'll see his tongue pronounce them.
