About the song
Here’s a draft introduction that blends elements of country music tradition, contemporary pop influences, and thoughtful analysis, tailored for a more mature audience:
*”In the realm of country music, where heartfelt storytelling and poignant lyrics often take center stage, two giants of the genre, Dwight Yoakam and Willie Nelson, have left an enduring legacy. Their ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and weave them into unforgettable melodies has earned them a devoted following across generations.
When we delve into the tracks ‘I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)’ and ‘Something You Get Through,’ we’re presented with a fascinating juxtaposition of classic country sensibilities and contemporary pop influences. Yoakam, known for his traditional country sound, teams up with the genre-bending Post Malone to create a track that bridges the gap between past and present. The result is a poignant exploration of loss and the challenges of letting go.
Meanwhile, Willie Nelson’s ‘Something You Get Through’ offers a more contemplative and introspective journey. Nelson, a true country legend, has always possessed a unique ability to distill complex emotions into simple, yet profound lyrics. In this particular song, he invites us to reflect on life’s challenges and the resilience of the human spirit.
Comparing these two tracks reveals interesting parallels and contrasts. Both songs delve into themes of loss and change, but they do so from distinct perspectives. Yoakam and Malone’s collaboration offers a more youthful and energetic take on these themes, while Nelson’s approach is more mature and reflective.
Ultimately, what unites these two songs is their ability to connect with listeners on a deep emotional level. Whether you’re a lifelong country music fan or simply someone who appreciates well-crafted songwriting, there’s something to be found in these tracks. They remind us of the enduring power of music to comfort, inspire, and heal.”*

Lyrics
When you lose the one you love
You think your world has ended
You think your world will be a waste of life
Without them in it
You feel there’s no way to go on
Life is just a sad, sad song
But love is bigger than us all
The end is not the end at all
It’s not somethin’ you get over
But it’s somethin’ you get through
It’s not ours to be taken
It’s just a thing we get to do
Life goes on and on
And when it’s gone
It lives in someone new
It’s not somethin’ you get over
But it’s somethin’ you get through
It’s not somethin’ you get over
But it’s somethin’ you get through
It’s not ours to be taken
It’s a thing we get to do
Life goes on and on
And when it’s gone
It lives in someone new
It’s not somethin’ you get over
But it’s somethin’ you get through
It’s not somethin’ you get over
But it’s somethin’ you get through
