 MIRANDA LAMBERT: Sharing the Hurt  Miranda Lambert talks about the very personal side of her new song, “Over You.” (:34)
“I’ve never written a song or even sang a song about a death, really. I don’t know. Just never one has hit me that way, maybe because I haven’t had a real hard personal experience with someone close to me passin’ away. But now that I’m married to Blake, and I’m so close to him and his family. His brother passed away when Blake was 14 in a car accident, and his brother was 24. His name was Richie. And over time, he’s sort of opened up to me a few times and actually told me the story one day of exactly what had happened. And you know, bein’ that close to him now almost feels like it happened to me, and I wasn’t even there.”
