Toto - I'll Be Over You (Official Music Video)

Nice music share, hope the back is better!!

Thanks for the music share. Hope your back gets bettet!

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Toto performing "I'll Be Over You"
Interesting that swinging the golf club helped ease your upper back pain. Yet that activity did not ease your wife's upper back pain. In any event I am glad you visited the Golf Course clubhouse and had an enjoyable lunch.

I'll Be over You written by Randy Goodrum / Steven Lee Lukather
Lyrics
"Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by
There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you
Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you"


2. Background on the song from songfacts.com/facts/toto/ill-be-over-you
"Toto guitarist Steve Lukather wrote this with Randy Goodrum, a popular Nashville songwriter who co-wrote "Oh Sherrie" and "If She Would Have Been Faithful..."

According to Goodrum, they came up with this after being asked to write a song for Julio Iglesias. He told us: "Neither one of us were fans of Julio Iglesias at all. And we could not imagine writing something… we thought we would offend both of our muses and they would never come back. We weren't snobs, it just wasn't us. We said, 'Look, we're going to be writing today. We'll keep that in mind.' So we sat down and we tried to think of something kind of Julio-ish. Steve was messing around with piano, and I was sitting over there with a note pad, and maybe in a petulant way, just purposely wrote this non-Julio lyric. And right away we started messing with it. I played Luke the lyrics that I had, (singing) 'Some people live their dreams...' And he just was floored. And he said, 'We gotta stay with this.' I said, 'Well, you realize we have left Julio land, we are no longer writing a song for Julio.' He said, 'No, that's okay.' So we went on and we wrote what ended up being 'I'll Be Over You.'

I went ahead and made a demo. I was a big fan of Jeff Porcaro's and all the guys in Toto, so I programmed the drums to sound as if Jeff played them. Luke sang the deal, I finished it up, and we didn't even pitch it. Luke was at David Paich's studio doing rehearsals with Toto at that time, and David Paich and I both had a particular kind of hybrid Yamaha NS10 speaker. It has a different crossover and they had different cabinets, so I wasn't sure how my stuff was sounding studio to studio. So I said, 'Do me a favor, take a rough mix here, and on your break can you go into David's, because he's got the same monitors, and tell me how the demo sounds in there?' So then apparently one of the Toto guys, either David or Jeff Porcaro, ran in and said, 'Hey, what is that? We need to cut that.' And Luke says, 'Well, Randy's not in the band.' He said, 'That's okay. That's all right.' He called me back, and I was almost apologetic about it. I said, 'Hey, wait a minute, I'm not in the band, you guys don't need outside writers.' And then I thought, Well, okay."
This song is notable for its cold vocal intro, which is rare in a hit pop song. Says Goodrum, "Apparently Jeff (Porcaro) had the demo in his earphones, and I think he put the drums down listening to the demo, and then they built it around that, which is interesting, because in the demo there are two bars out front of the drum pattern: (singing) 'tum tum ta ta ta ta, some people…' And so if he was using that as a count-in there wouldn't be a way to play an intro. So that may be why there's a cold start on the record. Even though I think the cold start is one of the coolest things about the Toto record." (Read more in our interview with Randy Goodrum.)"
