Brad Paisley - "I’m Gonna Miss Her"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   "I'm Gonna Miss Her" by Brad Paisley is one of those 

country songs that made the Top 40 of the Hot 100 (after 

Billboard started incorporating country airplay 

into its Hot 100 methodology) and are not listed in the 

database.

The only single format in which this song was 

commercially released was as a 7-inch single. The 

commercial single version differs significantly from the 

album version. There are 'nature' sounds on the single 

version as well as people 'whooping it up' in places and 

joining in on the chorus towards the end of the song, 

none of which are on the album version. The 45 states the 

run time as 3:23, which is accurate to within a second or 

two. The LP version runs about 3:13.

The the best of my knowledge, the 7-inch single remains 

the only place this version has ever been commercially 

released.

Discogs lists a promo CD single (which I don't have) 

described as the 'Radio Edit' for which it states the run 

time as 3:17, but I don't know if that is accurate.

I do have the song on the promo CD CDX Volume 286 

February 2002, on which it is described as the 'Radio 

Version' and the time is incorrectly stated as 3:17. This 

is in fact the commercial single version.

(My apologies. After sixteen years on the board I still 

haven't figured out how to properly post a link.)

	I was subscribing to RPM Top Hits when this song came out. They list it as a 'radio version' which includes the nature sounds and crowd efx. My copy runs 3:13 and appears to match the commercial single. RPM is known for fading songs early or ending them early. Edited by eriejwg

	I also have a file from PrimeCuts that runs a few seconds longer at 3:20.

	Those must be listed times as the Prime Cuts file I have runs longer than the Top Hits file. Top Hits runs 3:15 and Prime Cuts runs 3:20.

	The mix described in the original post with nature sounds and crowd reactions (whoops and sing-alongs a'la "Friends In Low Places") is the ONLY mix I ever heard played over the air. The summer that this song was making it's way up to number one on the Hot Country Singles charts, I was taking a road trip from Oklahoma to Massachusetts with my grandfather. Country music was all he liked so when we weren't listening to the tapes he had in his car, I was in charge of finding the country station on the radio dial as we made our way through the various states. I lost count of how many times I heard the crickets and frogs croaking over the opening strains of the acoustic guitar introduction. That's failing to mention the many following times I got to hear it when we finally got to my grandfather's place in Massachusetts. This song and Joe Nichols' "The Impossible" will always remind me of that summer. I actually had no idea the LP version was different.
