"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" was released 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".[citation needed] An alternate mix of "Only Over You" was included on the 2016 deluxe reissue of Mirage.[3]
Influence[]
In 2009, musician Daniel Lopatin (credited as "sunsetcorp") reworked "Only Over You" as a hypnagogic pop music video titled "angel".[4][5]
