"Only Over You" is a song by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their 1982 album Mirage. It was written by Christine McVie for her boyfriend at the time, the Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson.[1] The record sleeve states, "With thanks to Dennis Wilson for inspiration."[2] Biographer Jon Stebbins characterized the song as McVie's "last declaration of love" toward Wilson.[2]
Release
"Only Over You" appeared as the sixth track on their 1982 album Mirage. In the UK, the song was issued as the B-side to their single "Oh Diane".[3] An alternate mix of "Only Over You" was included on the 2016 deluxe reissue of Mirage.[4] The Guardian and Paste ranked the song number 26 and number 24 respectively on their lists of the 30 greatest Fleetwood Mac songs.[5][6]
Influence
In 2009, musician Daniel Lopatin (credited as "sunsetcorp") reworked "Only Over You" as a hypnagogic pop music video titled "angel".[7] The lyrics "Angel please don't go, I miss you when you go" were slowed down and looped with a phaser effect applied to certain phrases.[8] A year later in 2010, he would release the track as "Untitled A2" under the pseudonym "Chuck Person" of Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1.
