It's about foot in the door and at least he did that... but I completely agree that they should have left the song alone. it was a great wedding ballad / waltz with knockout lyrics.
In general I totally understand that the musicians on this show are writing songs for other artists and stuff, but if I wrote this particular song? You would have to pry it from my cold dead fingers before I let anybody else get their hands on it. That's a once-in-a-lifetime hook, you can't give that away to someone else
@@chrishill9715 No doubt, I agree. It just pisses me off a little bit that the things about the songs I love the most, as thеy are, always end up changed.
@@bilyanapetkova5920 I wish they kept it more in this direction, for sure. The real song is good but hopefully he makes more of an acoustic version for a wedding song
I really liked the "I'm confessing" line and wished they didn't cut it out from the lyrics. It's a big display of vulnerability and boldness, and it's such an intimate moment to fully confess something out loud to the person you love (and maybe even the whole world).
Umm does anyone else hear absolute gold in this song, also sounds so much like a bob Dylan sort of song. Man I tell you what that's a real song right there. Just a man and his guitar. Pure genius, it's going to be hard to beat this song
[Verse] The first time you walked in the room was like fire and ice I wasn't lonely, was just tired of hopin' I'd find somethin' right [Pre-Chorus] I thought I had enough of fallin' in love Just to lose it, but, baby, the truth is [Chorus] That since I met you, I I ain't spent one second guessin' Lord knows I've tried 'Cause I've had my heart broken in every direction Too many times But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes I'm confessing That I ain't spent one second guessin' [Outro] But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes I'm confessing That I ain't spend one second guessing One second guessing
@@marianmarlin7724 I'm excited to know this song was picked. And agree with you. FGL version is good but I don't know why with Griffen singing, it was like more soulful.. like it's more romantic...
I agree! This song was perfect and should not have been changed. Griffen should record it himself. He has a beautiful voice that is so refreshing to listen to. Too many singers today all sound the same. He is unique and sounds like no one else! Perfect song. Want to buy his original version with him singing it.
Listen to this kind of song when you are sitting on your bench in front of your house, enjoying the sunset and hoping this whole pandemic will end soon..
I feel like the message that the songwriter wanted to convey changed when they made revisions to his lyrics. I mean the new version is good but somehow it made me sad that the meaning of the song changes. Especially loved “i saw the rest of my life with one look in you eyes”
I think the most frustrating part of this for me is Ester saying "I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes" was the best part (it was) and then they removed that line in the end product lol. I love this version, this is my single favorite song from this show. His version of it.
I like this tender version...Makes a reallly romantic slow dance song. I figure FGL is more of that straight-singing, no BS, sincere type of style, after listening to the released version and seeing that he preferred to match the note in the second verse to the verse instead of falling down a note. The falling down makes it more tender and introspective. Another kind of sincere and heart-warming. Personally, I like the softer approach.
All you people complaining about the changes - the whole purpose of the show is to change the submitted song so that it is appropriate for the performer. If a songwriter’s lyrics are too personal, they won’t work for many artists. Or the tempo is not right. Stuff like that. This is true songwriting collaboration that you are seeing here. This is how you make hit records which is what they are trying to do. Pretty sure he’ll be able to still have the rights to perform it himself acoustically.
I get what you are saying but honestly, originals are a lot better. Over producing has become an issue in today's music. I have seen countless bands lose "their sound" to appease studios, and they become generic and lose the uniqueness that makes them and their songs a hit. Even on this show you see it. I have seen multiple originals that were way better than the remakes. Like "Sway" that was better as an original.
Yes! Space Cowboy is really Space, Cowboy and Second-Guessing is Second Guessing. Very Waltz-able dance too. Love this melody. Keep em coming, Griffen, you insanely handsome young lad with perfect teeth 💗
I can't wait to see how they would change this up. Shane is spot on with the Space Cowboy reference, which is my fave Kacey song btw. Griffen also looks like a really nice guy so I hope he does well.
Griffen’s version was a true love song.being vulnerable, not wanting to be hurt again. Love walks in the room. Then he tells her I aint spent one second guessing. Brilliant, a classic that will be a great song in any decade.
This version of the song speaks right to me! ❤❤❤❤ I hear it and think of the moment I saw my husband for the first time. Everyone before him had me "second guessing" the relationship.. identifying red flags, but with my husband there were no red flags - "Lord knows I tried..." finding them. Just wow, great song!
Palmer Griffin, your original version is solid gold. Your voice is mellow with a slight whispery rasp to it like a summer wind wrestling leaves. It is sooooo good. Absolutely refreshing. The second version didn’t have it. Your voice is different, tighter, actually losing the radical individual distinction of your unique style. Tight, too tight, so typical of so many singers, almost a loss of the pure raw innocence of the first version. I can guarantee you, if you get others in a room & let them listen to both versions, the first one slays everybody every time. Sure, use the other writer’s advice but sing it your way, the exact way you sang it the first time. I will definitely buy a copy! Great song! Absolutely gold.
underrated show...
Chelyz Marx Isn’t that just the story of everything Ryan Tedder is involved with. This show and everything they do should get more recognition!
Yeah!! Sooo underrated.
Best show.
This guy needs to record this himself....the way HE wrote it!!!
yup agreed
Amen
It's about foot in the door and at least he did that... but I completely agree that they should have left the song alone. it was a great wedding ballad / waltz with knockout lyrics.
Totally agree!!!!!!!
In general I totally understand that the musicians on this show are writing songs for other artists and stuff, but if I wrote this particular song? You would have to pry it from my cold dead fingers before I let anybody else get their hands on it. That's a once-in-a-lifetime hook, you can't give that away to someone else
They shouldn’t have changed anything. Great song.
I concur
I CONFORME
I agree. I really like this version. When I heard the newer one, I was a little disappointed.
@@ricardoicaraballo7182 I think the writer had the right voice, lyrics, and feel. I'm sure he'll release a version one day.
Dayle Arceneaux agreed. The changes made sense for Florida Georgia Line but the original had something magical.
Please tv gods bring this show back already!
I agree with you 100% it beats The Voice, …Got talent and all other shows. Its the first show that truly focuses on song writing and production.
It’s crazy I love the original version better than the flip. Nonetheless, amazing song!
💯
I felt that it was overhauled a lot. Hehe
Not crazy. I agree. Slower, simpler, more attention paid to the lyrics
The opening images alone are perfect.
I agree I love those version as I’m on a train right now with my fiancé I want to sing this song at our wedding
Am I the only one that likes the original songs more than the produced ones...
I generally do too, but Shane and FGL did a really nice job refining this song into its final version.
@@chrishill9715 No doubt, I agree. It just pisses me off a little bit that the things about the songs I love the most, as thеy are, always end up changed.
Yes!
@@bilyanapetkova5920 I wish they kept it more in this direction, for sure. The real song is good but hopefully he makes more of an acoustic version for a wedding song
Love the original, sometimes less is more!
I really liked the "I'm confessing" line and wished they didn't cut it out from the lyrics. It's a big display of vulnerability and boldness, and it's such an intimate moment to fully confess something out loud to the person you love (and maybe even the whole world).
YES! 100% agree.
That smile on Ester at 1:17 is the one that we all want (men and women ) 😊
I thought she was going to start crying or trying to stop herself from doing so.
💗
Prob my favorite original song on this show!!
Esters reaction to this song is priceless. It brought out a beautiful glow in her. Great song.
I could picture Dan and Shay rocking this
I wish they’d come on here😭😍
i say same mite sound better with dan and shay sound like there kind music
I could really hear Tim McGraw singing this.
@@sharpton2008 ooh yess..
I could hear Brett Eldridge or Brett Young singing this too
the way he switched up what's expected of "second guessing" made me say "oh" out loud too haha
I want this song played during my wedding ❤️😍💖
Umm does anyone else hear absolute gold in this song, also sounds so much like a bob Dylan sort of song. Man I tell you what that's a real song right there. Just a man and his guitar. Pure genius, it's going to be hard to beat this song
Absolutely!!!
Exactly yes. I can see James Taylor
A song that Mr Dylan would love to have written!
I just saw this episode and I honestly loved his original version. It felt more raw and honest.
Same same 😭😭
Totally agree!
Miss this show!
[Verse]
The first time you walked in the room was like fire and ice
I wasn't lonely, was just tired of hopin' I'd find somethin' right
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I had enough of fallin' in love
Just to lose it, but, baby, the truth is
[Chorus]
That since I met you, I
I ain't spent one second guessin'
Lord knows I've tried
'Cause I've had my heart broken in every direction
Too many times
But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes
I'm confessing
That I ain't spent one second guessin'
[Outro]
But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes
I'm confessing
That I ain't spend one second guessing
One second guessing
This song sounds so soothing. In case if this song isn't picked, can he release it? Love the lyric.. it's so romantic ❤.
@spice tea most of them, yes, agree with you.
Oh yeah its a romantic song
It was picked. But his original is better imo
@@marianmarlin7724 I'm excited to know this song was picked. And agree with you. FGL version is good but I don't know why with Griffen singing, it was like more soulful.. like it's more romantic...
@@VinaVerde any version you found of this on the internet you like?
This version is the best out of all 3 renditions
By far. It’s beautiful
Month later still obsessed with this song/this version.... one of those songs where you get upset that it ends.
Makes me want to cry!!! I will have to dance to this song at my wedding
I wasn’t looking for love, but it found me that night I- yo chill I love lyrics man
From the first line, I was already hooked. It sounds magical
One of the best show ever . Unique
I agree! This song was perfect and should not have been changed. Griffen should record it himself. He has a beautiful voice that is so refreshing to listen to. Too many singers today all sound the same. He is unique and sounds like no one else! Perfect song. Want to buy his original version with him singing it.
This guy, like so many on this show, deserves a contract and a stage to play on.
This song is going to be the #1 first dance song of 2020 ❤️
Samantha Anderson 2020 has been canceled. It’ll be #1 in 2021 :)
Of all the great songs that have been presented on this show this one is the most complete from beginning to end.
100%. The moment he began I knew it was a hit.
This is going number 1. This is an amazing song
I agree
Listen to this kind of song when you are sitting on your bench in front of your house, enjoying the sunset and hoping this whole pandemic will end soon..
Are you spying on me that’s exactly what I was doing while listening to this song. 😂
@@melanieg3045 i thinks everyone does melanie!! cheers to corona hahhaha
Yes!! This song is soo heartfelt I'm feeling it down in my soul You did this Palmer Griffin 🎤🎼❤❤❤
Romantic song... simple...easy listening... and so beautifull... and then why i love when someone sing a song with guitar
Favourite song this season
This song will be number 1
I LOVE THIS SHOW< PLEASE BRING IT BACK ALL ARTIST ORIGINAL SONGS ARE AMAZING
Sooo happy they chose this! Couldn't stop smiling as I listened to this.
I fell in love with the original version so much, I came here hoping to find this uploaded
I feel like the message that the songwriter wanted to convey changed when they made revisions to his lyrics. I mean the new version is good but somehow it made me sad that the meaning of the song changes. Especially loved “i saw the rest of my life with one look in you eyes”
i need more of him and this show
I think the most frustrating part of this for me is Ester saying "I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes" was the best part (it was) and then they removed that line in the end product lol.
I love this version, this is my single favorite song from this show. His version of it.
Oh my! I’m in love ...
I want this at my wedding man dang. Also that mans style with the hat. I want that outfit
I really love the lyrics on this more than the song they released.
What an adorable humble young man, so refreshing!
I like this tender version...Makes a reallly romantic slow dance song. I figure FGL is more of that straight-singing, no BS, sincere type of style, after listening to the released version and seeing that he preferred to match the note in the second verse to the verse instead of falling down a note. The falling down makes it more tender and introspective. Another kind of sincere and heart-warming. Personally, I like the softer approach.
Favorite show on TV man....I love this process and thank god the talent behind the talent id finally getting center stage!
I like this version much better than the one with changes they made.
Agreed!! His original is beautiful
And his voice is better than FGL’s version. I would love to get this version!!! Loved it!
Haha these comments are becoming typical on this channel.
This song was a steal for Florida Georgia Line
I LOVE IT!!!
This song is JUST PERFECT as it is!
Don’t mess it up!
This song just tore me up.
AMAZING!!!
As much as I like the final version, I feel this one more
I like both versions but I'd still want to hear a longer version of this.
I keep coming back her to hear this original version over the new recorded version!!
Shout out from ridgeway Ontatio!
This is amazing. !!!
Gave me chills first time I heard it. Teary eyed. Amazing.!! All the best
This song is perfect!!!! Omg please record this version!!!

Literally I got chills when I heard this today for the first time. Chills.
Yes! Space Cowboy is really Space, Cowboy and Second-Guessing is Second Guessing. Very Waltz-able dance too. Love this melody. Keep em coming, Griffen, you insanely handsome young lad with perfect teeth 💗
If it gets chosen, I'd like to hear both versions.
This song and this show and all of talent people in there. I need them, we need them.
So many great singer songwriters on this show ! Like Geez !
I can't wait to see how they would change this up. Shane is spot on with the Space Cowboy reference, which is my fave Kacey song btw. Griffen also looks like a really nice guy so I hope he does well.
my cheeks literally hurt for smiling throughout the whole song. ❤️
I want the full version by griffin himself!!
Ok that song right there is fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥.
I got constant goosebumps the whole time watching this video
Damn! people can ✍️write. 👏👏🔥
i'm honestly so glad you guys were able to finish recording way before the pandemic started
Sooooo good! I expect this to be heard in future weddings
1969 "Empty sky" ..."Your Song"(I adore so much ) I will listen to empty sky now
Wow! I can’t stop rewinding this. And as much as I love FLG... this songwriters version is so beautiful in its simplicity.
I’m in love with this song 🥰🥰
I love the way his voice slowly swings during the beginning of the chorus. Great song!
So beautiful. This has to be a hit
loved this show wish it was still on
I love this version of the song! Wish they used this version with the fire and ice lyrics.
Please release this version as well!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I connect with this one so much more.
Love, Love, LOVE this!!! Congratulations, Griffen, WELL DONE!!!! We're looking forward to more of this from you.
The original is so good why mess with it, ugh!
The lyrics is so sweet! 💕
Esther's reaction is everythiiing!!
Love it. Perfect as is !
So beautiful!!!
I love Griffen Palmer singing these lyrics!!!! 🔥❄
Beautiful performance! Nice job Griffen!!
What a song !!! Amazing ❤️
Griffen’s version was a true love song.being vulnerable, not wanting to be hurt again. Love walks in the room. Then he tells her I aint spent one second guessing. Brilliant, a classic that will be a great song in any decade.
IM SO IN LOVE
I cry 😢
Beautiful song 🎶
Watched this a thousand times already. So good ❤️❤️❤️
I love this version sooo much.. 😭😭😭
Beautiful song & voice. The melody & message is breathtaking. Literally.
Why can't this be on Spotify?
This song is absolutely everything, love love love
Im inlove with his voice and also his eyes.😘😘😘😘😘
Still come back to this song !
This song will turn into hit one 💛
I love this lyrics more than the released one... First line 😍😍😍
I loved this original version the best. From the very first words...."fire & ice..."
I my opinion...BEST Songland episode, EVER! I'm not country, but the winning song by FGL/Shaun/Shane is timeless.
Superb! I swear I love nearly every original song in every episode! But this is really above most 😊
This was perfect!!
This version of the song speaks right to me! ❤❤❤❤ I hear it and think of the moment I saw my husband for the first time. Everyone before him had me "second guessing" the relationship.. identifying red flags, but with my husband there were no red flags - "Lord knows I tried..." finding them. Just wow, great song!
