There’s a song I heard on the radio the other day that I’m pretty sure was done by Stevie Nicks. It was a break-up song of sorts where she (as the singer) asks something like, “will you ever get over her?”. Sorry to be so vague. Anybody have any ideas? I tried looking through Fleetwood mac & Stevie Nicks lyrics but I couldn’t find anything. ---

Actually, that sounds more like “Thrown Down,” off of _Say You Will._ Was it minimally orchestrated? With a melody on a plucked guitar? \*Oh, thrown down… like a barricade Maybe now he could prove to her That he could be good for her And they should be together About just how much he never really told her… Thrown down… About how difficult it had been to be without her… Thrown down… \* ---

Rhiannon was my first thought, too. But the closest any line comes in the [lyrics](http://www.lyricsdomain.com/6/fleetwood_mac/rhiannon.html) is “will you ever win.” And the song is about not getting the woman, not about getting over her.
