"Over" is the third single of the album Portishead by the trip hop duo of the same name. It was #25 in the UK Charts at the time of its release. It is probably one of the darkest tracks of that record, with an eerie atmosphere and troubled lyrics. It has been used in numerous[citation needed] TV shows and movies.

The promotional black and white video by Chris Cunningham featured lead singer Beth Gibbons singing to the camera in the middle of the darkness and occasionally running from one spotlight to another.
