Only Over You is an amazing song. I think it gets forgotten because its the last song on the first side of Mirage - an album that is usually not the favorite of Mac fans.
Its a full orchestra with deeply sentimental lyrics most likely written about Dennis Wilson. Lindsey plays an amazing guitar and I love the entrancing musical melody towards the end. I think because the song starts out immediately with vocals its easy to discard it as cheese. I was like that when I first heard it. But its probably one of Christine's most beautiful songs ever. To call it filler is crazy. The music and the lyrics are so good.
