Only Over You

"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. The record sleeve states, "With thanks to Dennis Wilson for inspiration." Biographer Jon Stebbins characterized the song as McVie's "last declaration of love" toward Wilson.



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". An alternate mix of "Only Over You" was included on the 2016 deluxe reissue of Mirage. The Guardian and Paste ranked the song number 26 and number 24 respectively on their lists of the 30 greatest Fleetwood Mac songs.

Influence
In 2009, musician Daniel Lopatin (credited as "sunsetcorp") reworked "Only Over You" as a hypnagogic pop music video titled "angel". 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. 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.
