Текст песни Grave (Commentary) - Thomas Rhett

Man, what an incredible time I've been having talking to Thomas Rhett
As we go through his "Life Changes" album, which is available now
I am Becca and we've got Thomas in the studio with us
We're celebrating "Life Changes" and we've finally come to the last track, and man!
This is such an amazing, powerful, almost spiritual love song
It's so beautiful and when people finally do get a hold of it and really live with this song
I think it's gonna become probably one of the biggest wedding songs
Talk to me about "Grave" because the title could be very misleading
You're thinking maybe it's more morbid or sad song but it's beautiful

Yeah, "Grave" is one of the few songs that I did not write on this record that just
It was one of the songs that like sat in my inbox for so long before I listened to it
And when I finally did, I got to listen to it in the car with Lauren
And I remember getting physical chills down my body by the time the third chorus piped in
And I think what I love about this song is like
This could've been a song that I recorded on the first record
Or it could have been a song that I record in 15 years from now
And it would still have the same effect on my soul

I just love the idea of knowing that you really can't take anything with you when you go
Except for our spirits, will hopefully be together when we both die
So it's like a spiritual song, has like gospel choir in the background
But also like Southern rootsy as well
And uhm, this song was definitely a sleeper, uh
There was a lot of people, I think, that didn't give it a lot of chance
And then when everybody started to give it a chance
Everybody was like, "How did we not know that this song was this amazing?"

And I think good songs will always do that to you
They will always keep reminding, "Hey, play me again"
Well, and you know the thing is, not sonically but lyrically
I mean it's almost your modern day version of "He Stopped Loving Her Today" (totally, yeah)
It's a phenomenal song and I can't wait for people to fall in love with "Grave"
And here it is now from Thomas Rhett on Big Machine Radio
