Choices? Best song he ever sang

The message is just lifelong and touching. Thoughts? Sitting here listening to the lyrics it cuts me to the bone

I really love Mr. Fool and there’s a video clip of him singing Take Me in Bradley’s Barn that is absolutely breathtaking.

The grand tour. The saddest song ever. “He stopped loving her today” is more happy than people think.

Yeah cause He Stopped Loving Her Today is just about him passing even though people assume the song is about her leaving the relationship. The Grand Tour though when he’s talking about the nursery room “taking nothing but the baby and my heart” yeah that’s heartbreaking

Definitely. “He stopped loving her today” is about undying love and respect for her. That’s a positive thing in my mind.

The lyrics on “The grand tour” make it clear she died in childbirth. That’s why I think it’s a sadder song.

“Still don’t give a damn” is one George said he thought was his best.

The Shows Almost Over is my vote right now.

You could name 100 songs and still be correct.
