Miranda Lambert‘s song, “Over You,” is one that she wrote with her husband, Blake Shelton — and  hearing Miranda tell the story of how the song came about, very naturally — in memory of Blake’s brother, Richie, who died in an auto accident in 1990 — is in many ways as touching as the song itself. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• “Over You” is from Miranda’s acclaimed album, Four the Record.
• Look for Miranda in concert, currently headlining her “On Fire” Tour with guests Chris Young and Jerrod Niemann.

“We started writin’ this song on the bus. I don’t even know why really. I think maybe we had been talkin’ about Richie and talkin’ about the wedding, you know, sayin’, ‘Wish Richie could be there at the wedding,’ and it just kinda came to us. He was playin’ this melody and kinda said (singing), ‘Weatherman says it’s gonna snow,’ and I was like, ‘That’s kinda cool,’ and then it just started kinda becoming about that subject, and I said, ‘You went away,’ and he said, ‘How dare you,’ for the line, and we both just broke down cryin’. And I’ve never cried writin’ a song before, and I don’t know that I ever will again.”
