Not to be confused with the Shania Twain hit, Come on Over is a tale of romancing the girl and regretting missed chances. Opening with drums and a very Country electric guitar riff, Kyle has a gruff Southern accent telling us about the pretty girl he is longing for – in fact he’s made a real effort by arranging “a bottle of wine and candlelight”.
Whatever went wrong, he
admits to being “same old me, same old fool” but he’s hopeful, almost pleading,
that she will come on over, particularly as he drives by her house. There aren’t
many alternatives in a small town.
It’s not just about the
romance though, as Kyle reminds us that you can’t turn back the hands on the clock,
and in fact he’s thinking back to the past and wishing he could have a second
chance. We aren’t told what went wrong,
but “the old bottle of wine’s empty and the candles burned down too”.
It’s an all too recognisable tale and maybe you are rooting for him – Kyle says:
Come On Over’ describes a scenario that I think a lot of us can put ourselves in. Wishing we could go back and get a second chance. This was an easy song to write and I must admit that songs that are true and come from within are typically the ones that write themselves like ‘Come On Over’ did.
Kyle is influenced from the
likes of Randy Travis, Chris Stapleton & Eric Church, but this song reminds
me of Jake Owen – The One That Got Away
It is smoother than Love
hangover released earlier this year but on the same topic.
Despite the regret and loss,
the song has a strong beat, drive for driving along to bit also worth a spin on
the dance floor.
Truth, lost love and an old
Ford; sure sounds like a winning Country song!
Can he come on over to the
UK soon please?
Come On Over, the new single from Kyle Elliott is available on all major platforms from Friday 7 August
