Original Title: TIL: That Christine McVie wrote the song "Songbird" in just half an hour at around midnight, but didn't have anyone around to record it. To ensure she did not forget the chord structure and melody, McVie remained awake the entire night and played the song for producer Ken Caillat the next morning.
