"You're Gone" is a song written by Paul Williams and Jon Vezner, and recorded by American country music group Diamond Rio.
[1]Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Jon Vezner and Paul Williams have written a song that grabs the listeners by the ears immediately with the opening lines "I said hello I think I'm broken/And though I was only jokin'/It took me by surprise when you agreed/I was trying to be clever/For the life of me I never/Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead."
This is an incredible song, and Diamond Rio lead vocalist Marty Roe delivers the powerful poetry in a voice that perfectly conveys the complex emotions in the lyric.
The production by the talented Mike Clute and the Rio boys is clean and uncluttered, letting the vocal and piano drive home the impact of the lyric.
This is just the first single from a great new album that shows these guys plan to hang on to that Country Music Assn.
