About this song
Santana's version is a cover of Fleetwood Mac's song of the same title, and it became the more famous recording, reaching #4 on the Hot 100. The original by Fleetwood Mac only reached #37 on the UK Singles chart. The version released on most singles shortens the intro and removes the rest of the cover of Gábor Szabo's "Gypsy Queen" after the third verse.
What it's about
The song portrays a man who is nearly in a trance, overtaken by the passionate spell a woman holds over him.
