The Day You Stop Lookin’ Back - Commentary

This is Big Machine Radio and we're celebrating Thomas Rhett's Tangled Up deluxe
Which is out now
And if you got the original version of the album
You definitely wanna check out the deluxe because
There are five additional tracks on there
We're gonna be playing all those here shortly
But first we are up to "The Day You Stop Lookin' Back"
And I love this song, I know you do too Thomas
'Cause it has such a great sort of life message and lesson

"The Day You Stop Lookin' Back" is one of the few outside songs that we cut
By Jaren Johnston and the Cadillac Three, and
And from the first time I heard it, I just loved the lyric
I love the imagery of this girl and he's telling her to, you know, to quit looking in the rear view
And she keeps going back to this terrible relationship

And uh, this guy is just saying, you know, once you start actually moving forward
Your life is more than likely going to get better
When you kind of just forget about the past and uh, move on with your life
And find new people, find better people
And I love the message of that song just in the, in the sheer sense
That I think there's a lot of people whether you are a guy or girl that are currently in that situation
And and I love the positive attitude it has towards the situation

I think we've all been there at one point or another
Where it's just kind of hard to let go and move forward
Maybe you are in an on-again and off-again relationship
Listen to the words of this song, it's powerful
It's called "The Day You Stop Lookin' Back" from Thomas Rhett on Big Machine Radio
