    Every time I think I've found my favorite Chris Stapleton song... I hear the next one. 😂

    Anyone who has been through a divorce or has experienced a dead-end relationship can really relate to this song. Chris expresses the emotional state of being past crying and past caring so beautifully in this song. My heart goes out to you, if you too know exactly how this feels. Chris's music pierces right through to the heart.

    There has never been an artist that makes me as emotional as Chris. Something, some how, just breaks that barrier between feeling emotional and showing emotion. I've cried more tears to his music than I could ever explain by words. Sort of a blessing and a curse. I love his music, his voice, his words... but be damned if I can't just hold back the tears.

    Chris is the most complete well rounded talent in any genre of music. Amazing songwriter, exceptional musician, and unbelievable vocalist. He sounds just as good live as his studio recordings. It has to seem unfair to many artist that the good Lord blessed him with such outstanding musical genius. I have been a huge fan since his Steeldriver then Jompson Brothers days and he continues to get better with every project. And I'll be a faithful fan for the rest of my days.

      LeKa C-Lo----While Lee Ann Womack covered this song years ago since it was written by Chris Stapleton this is the original version. Lee Ann's was the cover version (even though this wasn't released yet). If that makes sense? Whenever songwriters release their original material (even after the release of another artist covering it) you are getting the original and relegating the earlier release to a cover (at least in my mind)

    • @mrmwest09
      @mrmwest09 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      LeKa C-LO Lee Ann Womack did cut it a few years ago but Chris is the original writer of the song. On his new album he wrote or co-wrote all but 1 song, Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning, originally cut by Willie Nelson.

    We pass in the hall
    On our way to separate rooms
    The only time we ever talk
    Is when the monthly bills are due
    We go to work, we go to church
    We fake the perfect life
    I'm past the point of give-a-damn
    And all my tears are cried
    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way
    It's been so long since I've felt
    Anything inside these walls
    You can't hate and you can't hurt
    When you don't feel at all
    I used to cry and stay up nights
    And wonder what went wrong
    And it's been hard
    But hearts can only do that for so long
    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way
    We can just go on like this
    Say the word, we'll call it quits
    Baby, you can go or you can stay
    But I won't love you either way

    Chris is a powerhouse. He is by far one of the best musicians. The industry should count their blessings for an artist like this. Not only is he a vocal powerhouse, a gifted lyricist, and a brilliant songwriter, but he has a gift that not many musicians do nowadays-he reaches/touches people. I prefer to listen to live, acoustic music versus the band, bells, and whistles, all day long. When an artist sounds just as good acoustic/a cappella as he does recorded, if not better, you can't get much better than that.
