Tell Me When It’s Over - Commentary

Have you had a chance to sit down and listen to Threads yet? It's the

Brand new album from Sheryl Crow. It features her and some of her

Favorite people that she's ever had a chance to work with

People that have left an indelible mark on her and her music

And this next song, I would say it's one of my favorites

On the album because I love Chris Stapleton. The two of

You sound incredible together. So, talk about "Tell Me When

It's Over" and tell me about singing this one with Chris

"Tell Me When It's Over" is a song, actually, I wrote with Chris

Stapleton for this record and I wrote it with him. I begged him

I didn't beg him, but I called him and said, "You have to be on this

Record." I've written so many songs with Chris that I have loved

I wrote a song a couple of records ago called "Homesick," and it was

One of my favorite songs on the record. I wrote a couple of songs

For that record that we didn't put on there that we still have, and

One of those actually was a song called "Flying Blind" that's on this

Record that I just loved, and James Taylor's on that. So, I called

Him and said, "Will you please come write with me? I know we'll write

Something amazing," and it's a cool song. It's really a throwback

To like The O'Jays. I mean, it has a little bit of everything and

It's definitely something he could just totally sink his teeth into

And, and fun to do. I mean, we wrote it in an afternoon, we recorded

It in a day and it was just easy and fun, which is how it should be

Well, the recording process might have been easy and fun, but when

You listen to the lyrics to this one, man, it is a heartbreak

And when you hear Chris and Sheryl's voice together, it'll just

Blow your mind. This is "Tell Me When It's Over." You'll find

It on Sheryl Crow's new album Threads, which you can stream
