"You're Gone" is a song written by Paul Williams and Jon Vezner, and recorded by American country music group Diamond Rio. It was released in June 1998, by Arista Nashville, as the lead-off single from their fifth studio album, Unbelievable (1998). It peaked at number four in the United States and number five in Canada, on the Country charts of both territories. The accompanying music video was directed by Peter Zavadil, and premiered in mid-1998.
According to co-writer Paul Williams, the song came about when he and Vezner were discussing the death of one of Williams' old friends, Tom Jans, as well as other people who influenced their lives.
It just seemed like what we should write about are the people who are no longer in our lives who had a positive effect on us. And it just poured out of us. The people that pass through our lives-we remember what they say to us, and we remember how they touch us. ~Paul Williams, 1998.[1]
