Rolling Stone pointed out that the song sounded like “quintessential Stevie.” Nicks replied, “Me and Tom and Mike Campbell, we’re like quintessentially three parts of one person.” All I remembered was that distant enchanted melody.” I wrote ‘Oooh My Love’ on the piano: ‘In the shadow of the castle walls…’ Of course, I don’t know near as many chords as Mike Campbell does. Then way later, years down the road, I sat down at the piano and tried to recall it. “These are the ups and downs of being friends with other songwriters. I’m realizing, ‘How stupid are you, Stevie?’ So I had to go in the next day and tell Fleetwood Mac, ‘Guess what, we can’t do this song.’ ‘Why can’t we do it?’ ‘Because I stole it from Tom Petty, and I’m absolutely a total criminal and a thief.’ “Tom just starts screaming at me on the other end of the phone.
I loved it so much, I called Tom and said, ‘Listen to this!’ What an idiot, right? Let’s play him the song you stole over the phone!

I took it into Fleetwood Mac and sang my lyrics over it. “It just said, ’24 Demos from Mike Campbell.’ It had the song that inspired ‘Ooh My Love,’ which became ‘Runaway Train’ for Tom. I accidentally arrived home one night with a cassette - I thought it was mine, but it was Tom’s. Tom would get them first, and then the ones he didn’t want, Mike sent them to me. “I picked up the wrong cassette at Tom’s one night, a tape of Mike Campbell’s instrumental demos. “I stole that from Tom Petty - accidentally!” Nicks explained. Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty | Larry Hulst/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Stevie Nicks accidentally took home a mixtape that belonged to Petty and his bandĭuring a 2019 interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks admitted she accidentally stole her song “Ooh My Love” on 1989’s The Other Side of the Mirror from Petty. So, it was only a matter of time before either of them stole a song from each other-accidentally or not. When Nicks or Petty weren’t recording, they hung out. Since she’d integrated herself into Petty’s life, they shared a producer and a recording studio. After those strange beginnings, Nicks and Petty worked on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Separately, Nicks worked on her solo debut, Bella Donna, and Petty continued work with his band The Heartbreakers. She refused to go away, and Petty gave up trying to make her. Stevie Nicks essentially begged Tom Petty to be friends with her.
