Over You

Miranda Lambert penned this poignant cut with her husband, the Country superstar Blake Shelton. It was inspired by the memory of Blake's older brother Richie Shelton, who died in a car accident in 1990. Miranda told Ladies Home Journal: "Blake's brother was killed instantly in a car accident at 24, when Blake was 14. One day he just opened up and was talking to me about it. And then he was playing this pretty little melody and we started adding words ... Later he said, 'I think it's better if you record it. Honestly, I don't think I can get through singing it every night onstage, so what's the point?'"

She added: "I love that song, and I feel like it's time for me to show I have that side of me that's vulnerable and hurting for someone else."

The Genesis of the song was when Lambert and Shelton were flipping through TV channels on a tour bus. They came across Shelton's Backstory on GAC, and listened to his father talking about his brother's fatal crash. The couple switched the TV off and started talking, the first time that Shelton had really opened up to Lambert about the tragedy. "Miranda never had a chance to meet my brother," Shelton told the Associated Press. "I was just a teenager when that happened. So I was telling her about him, what he was like, and we just ended up like we do sometimes, writing a song."

Both Shelton and Lambert cried while writing the song. "That's the only time I've ever gotten that emotional writing a song, and him, too," said Lambert to Associated Press. "So, I think the initial emotion came out right that day, and I think you hear it in the lyrics."
