In 1984, American singer Stevie Nicks wrote and sang lyrics over Knopfler's instrumental and recorded a demo version of the song, called "She Loves Him Still," which was never released, but made its way into circulation among fans for many years. In 2014, Nicks re-recorded the song for her album 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault. The song is rumoured to be about Lindsey Buckingham, who she considers to be the love of her life.[2] Despite breaking up in 1977 Nicks has admitted she never stopped loving Buckingham[3] and this song is about that element of not being able to move on. The song contains lyrics that reference other songs Nicks has written such as Crystal and Goodbye Baby with the lyrics 'Straight back to the sea' and 'And the sands of time like shattered glass go past her' respectively.
