About the Song

There are few musical pairings as enduring and beloved as Daniel O’Donnell and Mary Duff. For decades, the two have shared the stage with a gentle elegance that feels more like family than show business.

Originally made famous by Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, the song finds new emotional depth when sung by Daniel and Mary, whose voices wrap around each other with quiet tenderness and grace. Their version slows things down—not to reinvent the song, but to soften it, warm it, and turn it into a shared moment between two voices that know exactly how to listen to one another.

Daniel’s voice, steady and sincere, brings his usual calm strength to the melody, while Mary Duff—with her crystal-clear tone and natural warmth—adds just the right touch of vulnerability.
