Don Was - Stephen Bruton - "Getting Over You"

[SteelerMan123]

What an awesome song, so beautiful.

[MorganHillChristine]

I first heard him on KPIG (Watsonville, California) about 18 years ago. Fell in love with him then.

RIP, Stephen.

[byzantium39]

saw Stephen in Dublin in 1970 with Kris Kristofferson on the 'Border Lord' tour, great sound & playing.rip

[crwheat]

Some great songwriters like Dylan, Kristofferson, and Stephen couldn't carry a tune across a shallow creek vocally. But, my goodness, they surely knew how to rip at the soul with their lyrics. This is a beautiful piece of music.

[mollburn3]

I Miss You GFS... Tears still come whenever I hear your voice, or when all the years of memories visit me. There will never be a time that I will NOT be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL for you being in my life.

Your Loving Goddaughter,

Molls

[Shabebe]

....tears on the kyboard as I listen to him again....makes me cry..everytime..I miss you

[Shabebe]

....tears on the kyboard as I listen to him again....makes me cry..everytime..I miss you

[3partharmony]

GOD, I have been living through this for so long... gotta say, what a beautiful song that tells my story. Thank you Stephen!

[Greyskymorning395]

who came here cos of the david guetta song?

[Bluesbabesrv]

Mesmerizing... can't stop listening to this one.

[MorganHillChristine]

I first heard this song in a Bonnie Raitt and WIllie Nelson duet.. Gorgeous.

[whalestail1955]

I was blessed to call him friend. Nights in Malibu, sitting, talking and playing guitar. The kinds of things you do with friends. He was a gentle soul and easy to to get to know and to talk with. Bless you Stephen, I cried all night when I heard that you were gone. This world is not as beautiful, without you in it.

[jilly912]

Wow, this song is deep............. I have heard it about 20 times in the past half hour and it continues to hit right at the heart, if your feelings are equal to what he wrote. I have never heard of Stephen Bruton until today and I can not belive I have missed out on his words. Something so real and true with no extras of anything other than his tunes and Voice. Your Soul Lives on with your music.....

[Bluesbabesrv]

@jilly912 It is getting real old finding 'new to me' music then learning the performer has left us. I learnd about Stephen from listening to Jeff Bridges.

[rafhenlow]

A voice that has lived, Cash, W. Nelson, etc had/have it. Love it.

[lkancir]

@LordLiamo92 its on a record called WHAT IT IS dos records. I think relaesed in'94 Bonnie also recorded it WHAT IT IS is a really great record

[RockGlam123]

[Edydeblonzac]

[shanna1950]

Love the hug at the end!!

[shanna1950]

if there's more video material with Stephen PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE! The Black/White videoclips in the studio are so beautiful. Great artist. It's nice to seehim perform.

[DebraPeters]

We have so many memories of Stephen. (Sure does feel odd without him in Austin anymore.) R.I.P. friend. I know you are surrounded by beautiful angels now.

[cindyshealed]

Ooee, this is so bittersweet now.

[informalmusic]

Thanks for haunting my dreams...I WILL see you soon.... that's fo' sho'!!!!

[stevespelling]

Yes a wonderful songwriter, guitarist, musician & a gentleman. He'll be missed.

What a beautiful song!

[shAdowArtist1]

Thank you for this beautiful gift.

[stacysfolly]

rest in peace, beautiful stephen. you are missed.

[cgptony11]

I know his family and met him twice (he was always on the road and he had a house in Austin and Ca.) They are all nice people. God bless!

[tsbfan]

Now the angels get to listen to, and love him

[kallejularebo]

It's with deep sadness I got the news about TSB death. Since the first time I saw him smiling threw a hole Bonnie Raitt show in Gothenburg Sweden in the early 90', I've been following Stephens music. I been lucky to catch him two times solo in Sweden and once in Austin. He's music and lyrics has made me cry, smile and laugh threw the years. I never got to know him, but he felt like a friend. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Stephen

[Brenloboy]

Goodbye, Stephen. Loved your music and was so fortunate to meet you.

[helmsbarn]

I wish I had discovered him sooner..Before he passed on..But his music will always be here...I sure like this one..

[Magicbrianwood]

A stunning performance from a a man that had a truely exquisite technique. He did real well whilst he was down here.

[drummerboy1954]

I was so very blessed to call you a friend!We made alot of great music also.

[Darius50]

Met the man twice and a gentleman he was. Beautiful song.

[kuchek]

I saw him with the Resentments at the Saxon. He closed the show with his solo stuff. Simply an amazing talent. God Speed.

[velmanewberry]

I can so relate to this song...How beautifully Stephen does this....A great voice joins those who have gone ahead...RIP

[boils2]

He is in the green fields now. RIP Stephen Bruton.

[dutchdreams831]

Sorry for your loss Sumter. Seem to remember a Christmas Eve at the Hop seeing you guys get it. Wont forget...

[TexasBlues2000]

I saw him play in Austin last year at Auditorium Shores, along with Kris Kristofferson and Bonnie Raitt. So long, Stephen.  RIP.

[dawnquixote]

We love you Stephen..Take care of Poodie..See ya on the other side..Kathy and WIldfire

[amynyc122]

We'll never get over you Stephen. You'll be missed. Rest in peace

[jamath911]

We all miss ya bud...Cowtown weeps.

[CandiceYeager]

From those who were close, it has been relayed that Stephen was in the best place mentally that he could be when he passed. He had called us a few weeks ago to say he was getting well. Now, we know that this was his way to not let us worry, and to make his stage exit gracefully. He was our friend for 40 some years. . . bless you, dearheart.

[Snit54]

Awesome post...I'm up all night playing every record he made

[Jeebusyourstupid]

RIP Stephen

[spage4]

This man changed how I view guitar playing and songwriting. I was able to see him a year ago at the Saxon Pub in Austin. Truly Amazing RIP. Another great Fort Worth musician has passed.

[Snit54]

RIP my friend..this song moves me like no other..

[Vibrolux]

RIP. A soulful musician.

[Rapsode2u]

R.I.P Stephen.....you'll be greatly missed! ! ! May you be a shining Star in Heaven now! ! !

[roughthumb]

So sad. :(

[cindyshealed]

I hope Stephen is doing well. I learned a friend he and I have in common (Stephen doesn't know me) has died in Florida on Valentine's Day, 2009.

[tsbfan]

This song is even better today than it was when I first heard it. So glad to hear that Stephen is doing well and is back on the job. Love Him and still praying for his full recovery

[Riff4hard]

I worked for Stephen in Germany. A great musician and very nice man. Best wishes to him from Bremen, Germany!

[ccfajardo]

We gotta believe there's a reason.

[bluzsteel]

Pray for Stephen

[tsbfan]

I've spent the day trying to find an update on Stephen's condition and also listening to his song on myspace WOW !! I'm usually very hard to impress but these sons are sooo beautiful.

[tsbfan]

Absolutely Love this Song

Get Well or I will have one hell of a time getting over you

[redneckg133]

this song is good. I listened to it over and over the other night

[pisces1gurl]

Beautiful sweet misery, I love this song.

[lonelyinbaku]

I have heard him for the first time. I like this kind of country ballads and the instrumental set. I am from Germany but job forces me to live in Baku/Azerbaijan. Maybe that makes me a little bit sentimentel. like to hear more.

[Anonandon]

beautiful - also the willie/bonnie raitt version

is quite fine...

[andyt76]

GO BACK TO WAINY DAYS..

All of this other crap sucks.

[river3782]

5* GOOD SONG
