Since You've Been Gone
Over The Rainbow (Feat. J.R.Blackmore) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa

I get the same old dream, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in!

Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oh, whoa, oh
Since you've been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oh, whoa, oh
Since you've been gone

If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong

Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oh, whoa, oh
Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone, since you've been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone
You cast the spell, so break it




Oh, whoa, oh
Since you've been gone

A lot of people judge covers by the lead vocalist, but has anyone else noticed how perfect the rest of the band ever is? This is seamless for every song of their’s that I have heard so far.

@lcguitar7074

He has a very broadway musical type of voice. I personally like it alot, but I get that it isn't the same as the original.

@payres48

Have to agree there. I played the Rainbow version first then this and it's hard to tell the difference.

@arminiuszmazowszanin2670

this sounds like original song.

@ilyapukhaev

What is with official vocalist from Mexica?

@LuvBorderCollies

Oh yeh!! I like this cover better than the original. Everything is just better, tighter, crisper, cleaner. whatever else I can't think of to describe the performance.

Now THIS is what a tribute band should sound like! I’m impressed with their ability to replicate the sound we are used to hearing from the original recording. Vocal harmonies were spot-on, instruments were as well. Nicely done!

@@JupiterThunder Try listening to it a minute earlier. It will be fine - Clothears!

@georgebarnes8163

A tribute band should take note of the original song and songwriters which in this case was not the band called Rainbow who only did a cover of the original.
