"I'll never get over you getting over me"

"I'll never get over you getting over me" was released in early 1993 , written by Dianne Warren and performed by Expos'e. Expos'e was a female pop trio and this was their last top 40 hit.

I was introduced to this song by one of my oldest best friends who I've known since I was 8. She always had impeccable taste in music ( just like me hehe).I would always serenade this to my karaoke machine and was yet another song I would try to hit the high notes with. I recall trying to go as high as the lead singer with the line "As long as the river runs to the sea" thinking I was Whitney Houston. I almost got that high note if it's any consolation.

This is one of those songs that once you hear it you just can't stop listening to it. It's a song with soul and put together simply brilliantly. The lead singer, Jeanette Jurado has an extraordinary voice, she is just brilliant and yet she just disappeared,seems like such a waste of such talent that she didn't seem to have continued! The saxophonist Euge Groove was also incredible as he performed his sax solo.

I never really took the lyrics into consideration when I first heard this song. I was too young to understand relationships and too young to be able to relate. However watching the video now and reading the lyrics makes me understand and feel her pain. I project myself and imagine and how it would feel for my relationship to end. It's just like a knife through the heart. Obviously in the song she is singing about a break up and how her ex has probably moved on and how she feels like she'll never move on and get over him. I guess it's like most of the songs which sing about breakups and love. But to me this one's different , it somehow seems to hit differently evoking a great deal of emotion.

Here are the lyrics and video..

I hear you're taking the town again.
Havin' a good time
With all your good-time friends.
I don't think that you think of me.
You're on your own now
And I'm alone and free.

I know that I should get on with my life,
But a life lived without you could never be right.

As long as the stars shine down from the heavens,
Long as the rivers run to the sea,
I'll never get over you getting over me.

I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody that I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away (Won't go away)
Loneliness found me
Looks like it's here to stay

I know that I oughta find someone new
But all I find is myself always thinkin' of you

As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me.

Oh! No matter what I do
Each night's a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this
I need your touch
You're the only one I'll ever love

Oh, oh.. ah....

And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me.

I'll never get over you getting over

Never get over you getting over

I'll never get over you getting over me
