We make it harder than it has to be
And I can’t tell you why
We rank this song not only for the mass popularity but for what it means to the band. Timothy B. Schmit joined the band and the band wanted Timothy to be the lead singer on a song. This is that song that promoted Timothy as an Eagles band member and a music star.
