Over My Head

[Villavic]

I was always curious about the song being written about Lindsey. I mean, it was the first album and the song was recorded in february 1975, Christine hadn't known him for long and was already writing a song about her friendship with him. Something to think about it.

I read about it here in many threads, but here's an article about the song.

The Christine McVie song was a bellwether and blueprint for everything that would follow. The band's first Top 40 hit in America, it fades in, like an unveiling of something new. Pedaling on a single chord, it has the gauzy feel of one of those spring-winter fulcrum days, all blue sky and possibility, with a hint of a chill. “You can take me to paradise, then again you can be cold as ice,” McVie sings, matching the mood. “I'm over my head, but it sure feels nice.”

She would later reveal to the BBC that the song was written about her fascination with new bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. “He was that kind of guy, he could be cold as ice, and then he could be great. So I took that feeling I was feeling, and I turned it into a song.”

I agree with the article that, though Lindsey said in the Classic Album Rumours video, that it was when Rhiannon was played on radios, people started to ask Fleetwood Mac with hits??, that it was Over My Head the turning point that changed the future of the band.
