And I think on this particular session, they're doing a lot of love songs.
I love you so much and [Gb] faded love and those kind of things.
[Ab] And I had a lunch break, so I went up to the studio.
And when you came into the back of the studio, you came [Eb] by the control room
before the artist actually seen you.
And I stopped and said hello to [Bb] Owen or something.
And he told me he wanted me [Eb] to leave.
And I just walked in, and I didn't know I'd done anything wrong yet.
And he said, Did you and Patsy have an argument or something before you got here tonight,
before she got here?
And I said, No, [Fm] I don't think so.
He [Bb] said, Well, every song she's crying.
I said, I don't want you to break the mood.
He said, Get out of [Eb] here.
As I [Bb] look [Eb] at the letters [Ab]
that you wrote to me,
[Eb]
it's you that I [C] am [Dm]
thinking [F] of.
She [Bb] falls into that category of [Eb]
[Bb] genius [Eb] or near genius.
When Patsy Cline sang a [Ab] song that had been completely sung,
and there's no way to improve on it, [Eb] no way to do it different,
[Gm] she could take a [Fm] song like Faded [Bb] Love that had been done [Eb] forever by Bob Wills.
Well, you thought of the song as a Bob Wills song.
Bob wrote it.
He recorded it.
[Bb] When Patsy Cline [G] recorded it, it became a Patsy Cline song.
[Ab] Patsy had the talent.
She had the voice.
Oh, my goodness.
[Eb] All she had to do was just sing anybody's song,
and their records would quit selling and hers would start [Bbm] selling.
You know, she just had that type of voice.
She [Bb] sang completely from [Eb]
within her [Bb] heart, out through [Bbm] her vocal cords, [Db] to the people.
[Ab]
And there was no [Cm] translation in there.
It [A] was Patsy coming out.
And [Gm] that's why she put that stamp, that Patsy [Fm] Cline stamp, on everything that she did.
[Eb]
After the session, [Cm] we all went up to Owen Bradley's office to listen [Bb] to the [G] recording, to the playbacks.
And [Ab]
we were all sitting around totally enthralled.
And I remember, oh, when it came to that [Eb] first certain part in Faded Love
where she just went down and her voice just kind of [Bbm] quivered and went back.
The emotion, gosh.
And she'd [Eb] say, play that one again, play that one [Bb] again, and play that part [Db] again.
And they'd keep running back to that part.
And she was so [Ab] happy and so thrilled with it.
You listen to [F] some of those records and you get to the end [Gm] of Faded Love
[F] where she does that [Bb] little [Eb] sigh like that, you know.
And you could tell it was really for real.
