I'll Get Over You (But Not Too Soon)


I'll Get Over You - 05/06/2012
Chapman Jones
Capo 2 In G

G.......................
I'll ride into the sunset
G.......................
I won't dare to look back
G................................C
I don't think I could stand the view

Am.............................
Your message said we're done for
C..........................
And girl it'd be a real chore
......G...................................D (walk down to G)
If I turned my head for one last look at you

I'll just say so long
I sure would hate to prolong
The shattering of love break apart

I think a drink or two will offset
The protracted time to forget
Every memory you left inside my heart

[Chorus]
Am/C............G
I'll, get over you
Am/C...........G
I'll get over you
Am/C.................G....D....(Walk down to G)
I guess it won't be soon

I'll ride into the sunset
Even though I know I'll regret
Falling for a love that came unglued

[Chorus]
I'll, get over you
I'll get over you
But I guess it won't be soon


Thanks

I like this, it's really catchy. At first I didn't like the 2 guitars on top of each other in the beginning, but once the words came in, it worked. I love how the mood of the song actually contrasts the upbeat music behind it.

Thank you very much yanigurl.

I have since rewritten a couple of lines. After listening I believe I want to speed it up just a tad. The guitar was was mostly just noodling around but I do like the overlay. Although, I think next recorded I'll use a Strat on one side.

Thanks again.

Good sound. i like the melody. The drums sound like they are at half the tempo of everything else.

Hey Colin,

Thanks a ton for stopping in. The percussion was done on purpose. After doing it at speed, I felt the 1/2 tempo gives the whole song a lot more bounce.

Appreciate it

Hi Chapman,

I like really like this. I wish I could make those chords sounds as good as you did! You have a very nice voice too I don't think I've ever heard you sing before.

Dottie

thanks Dottie


Here's the re-write .....


I'll ride into the sunset
I won't dare to look back
I don't think I could stand the view


Your message said we're done for
And girl it'd be a real chore
If I turned my head for one last look at you

I'll just say so long
I sure would hate to prolong
The agony of a love that breaks apart

I think a drink or two will offset
The enormous time to forget
Every memory you left inside my heart


I'll, get over you
I'll get over you
I guess it won't be soon

I'll saddle up my pony
So I wont be so lonely
At least I know his heart is true

I'll ride into the sunset
Even though I know I'll regret
The moment I turn away from you

I'll, get over you
I'll get over you
I guess it won't be soon

I like the half-time feel, there is a slight tempo glitch in the Am stanza of each verse area, I think. The ending would be a good place for a touch of sadness...too happy of an out-tro.

Thanks Neil. Appreciate it!

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I'm going to slow it back down and give back the melancholy sound. I was free wheeling without a click track... Need to get the steel slide out...

Chapman,

I really like this song!

I felt like you could cut one of the lines in the chorus (I'll get over you), it's just my opinion but feel it would be effective to just do the two lines I love the harmonies in the chorus.

You sound great in this too, really enjoyed the listen!!

Tammy

Tams,

Thanks for listening.... I do have to agree with you. After listening to the tune for a couple days, that chorus does drag just a tad too long. I think I will try it with the dropped line as you suggest. And the bonus is, that will give me a few more seconds to build the "interlude" guitar/slide riff. A Twofer!

Thanks,

Chap

Chapman,

It's a very catchy tune. I enjoyed it a lot! The production sounded a bit rough but it could be my computer connection too. Nice write!

Thanks Jen..... no that indeed was a corncob session.

Glad you liked it. We'll be working out the composition over the next couple of weeks.

Hi Chap,

VERY COOL SONG.
I agree with Tammys sug about the chorus

I'm jealous that I didn't write something THIS cool...

I'll saddle up my pony
So I wont be so lonely
At least I know his heart is true

Thanks for the entertainment.

Hi Chapman,

I love it, too. Lines like "I don't think I can stand the view" feel pretty fresh.

You didn't fall into a trap that you set here:

I'll ride into the sunset
Even though I know I'll regret

which would have been to have mispronounced "regret" by accenting the first syllable, like you do in all the other verses, but more importantly, in the preceding line. You show enough song-sense, there, to simply rephrase that line in a natural way, so the accent on "regret" falls where it should, on the second syllable. Many would wrongly go REgret, so...THAT made me happy!

A pretty nice song, a cleaner demo now...

cheers,

Mike

Hey Calvin, Hey Michael,

Thank you for your thoughts. We're working on a new cut including a number suggestions offered.

Appreciate it.

HiDee Chapman & Co...

Liked what I heard, nice Harmonies in da Chorus.

I'll sug Chorus lines be re-Stacked...with Hook, Last-Line, then back to your Hook Again, to end on it. KOS, & Good Luck with a Good'n', Amigo!

Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
