Everybody Finds Out by Fleetwood Mac in The Song Remembers When

I was reading an entry from someone who had mentioned that a significant other had found this person's collection of entries here on Prosebox. I've had that happen to me. In my case it was a literal catastrophe that involved lots of legal issues and ruined a lot of good things that were happening in my life. Being discovered in that way literally changed the course of my life, and it's made me write a little differently now. Before that had happened I had little care about how I perceived people in writing, but now I see that even when I'm expressing myself, I have an obligation to remain clear and true to my vision... otherwise these words can become twisted and corrupted by hatred not just of me but of the way I see them

This song came out shortly afterward and it's about how someone lives with that fear of being found out. I think it's a very good description and I used to sit and cry constantly to this song. I especially love the string vamp at the very, very end. It's such a great build-up.
