Miranda Lambert Gets Somber In "Over You"

Miranda Lambert pays tribute to her husband Blake Shelton's late brother with a lovely music video to her emotional new single "Over You," the second single from her 2011 album "Four the Record." Lambert looks positively regal in her first music video in more than a year. Donning a vintage dress and a riding coat that look to be from the 1920s, the country star to let nature help tell the story and bring to life the lyrics of her tearjerking new single, "Over You," is her most personal yet.
The Genesis of the country ballad song was when Lambert and Shelton were flipping through TV channels on a tour bus, and listened to his father talking about his older brother Richie's fatal crash, and was killed instantly in 1990. Lambert penned this poignant cut with Shelton. Though Shelton knew the song would be too hard for him to sing every night in an arena, Lambert adopted it as her own and beautifully tells her husband's story with the lyrically raw tune.
"That's the only time I've ever gotten that emotional writing a song, and him, too," said Lambert. "So, I think the initial emotion came out right that day, and I think you hear it in the lyrics." Lambert's emotions run the gamut from choking back tears to smiling at a new friend who used to be in the circus! "You know I cry every time I listen to it," Lambert said. "I think that's the most personal song that as a couple we’ve ever put out. 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."
Shoot on location among the Cedars of Lebanon in Tennessee, the clip, directed by Trey Fanjoy, is a very emotional piece fitting of the song's deep meaning. The video, fittingly, is somber, a stroll through memory and shows Lambert walking through a wooded area during a light snow, before coming to a set of gravestones, where she proceeds to grieve over the loss of her loved one. Two little boys are playing together around her, likely symbolic of Blake and Richie, when one disappears. A beautiful white horse then joins Lambert on her walk which ends in an old cemetery where she grieves her loss. Pay close attention to the tombstones at the end for a special tribute to the Shelton family.
