Текст песни Heaven Right Now - Commentary - Thomas Rhett

This is Big Machine Radio
And we have the ultimate tour guide
To take us through Thomas Rhett's new album
"Country Again: Side A"

It's Thomas Rhett
He's given us the inside stories for all of these songs
And this next one is gonna warn you
If you've lost somebody close to you
Or maybe if you haven't
If you got a heart that is easily tagged on
You probably get to want a tissue
Before you listen to "Heaven Right Now"

But Thomas, I know this has a very personal sentiment
And background to it
So tell people about "Heaven Right Now"

So "Heaven Right Now" probably
Is one of the hardest songs that I've written
Because I've never written a song so blatantly about my buddy
Me and Lauren's friend that passed away about nine years ago
And I-, Lauren and I, both still wear this bracelet
That I'm sure a lot of people singin', photos
Or whatever-, a lot of people asks what it stands for
And this reason that show
Em passed away about nine years ago

And-, and this song would kind of we're shaped around this idea
Of like, I wonder what people are doing in heaven right now
And just like while we're living life down here
Like what is happening elsewhere like our people
Or are they really driving out streets to go older?
Are they really bungee jumping off clouds?
Are they-, are they really doing all these things?
And-, and it kinda more often to this idea of like
Every time I do certain things in my life
That remind me of my friend that passed

I sort of to have this conversation myself like
"Hey man," like, "Things are still pretty normal down here"
"Got kids now, what are you doing up there?"
You know, and-, and this whole concept of like
I just wonder while I'm living this life down here like
"What are you doing up there?"
I'm so curious to know

And uh, like I said, one of the hardest songs that I've been a part of writing
Just on the sheer fact of like bringin' up you know
Old winds and you know every time you talk about loss
I mean there's definitely comes a point where you
I don't wanna say you get over it, but you learn how to live with it
And you know, especially watching my wife deal with that
Well it was a tough time for sure
But sometimes when I don't know how to say things just in conversation
Somehow they come out in a song
And that's one-, that's ones that came out in a song

Again, it's called "Heaven Right Now"
And man I just love this song
It's on Big Machine Radio
And you'll find it on Thomas' new album
"Country Again: Side A"
