Trace Adkins' Song Is Reminder To Be Grateful For Every Moment

Aug 15, 2020 by apost team

We often take things in our lives for granted, no matter what stage we are at in our journey. Sometimes a reminder is all we need to remember than nothing in life is permanent. We all live, accomplish great things, and then we die. However, when we are older, can we look back at our past and say that we are truly satisfied with all that we had done? Maybe we wish that we had spent more time with our parents before their demise. Or maybe we wish that we had taken more time out from our busy lives to have fun, rather than dedicate our lives to work. Regardless of any regrets, we can start changing our lives from this moment on, appreciating each and every aspect of our lives. The song, "You're Gonna Miss This," by Trace Adkins perfectly gives us this advice.

No matter what stage of life you are at, whether it be recently married, or a new parent, the lyrics of this wonderful classic can be applied to your life. This song was written by Lee Thomas Miller and Ashley Gorley, famous songwriters in the country music industry. Both have written popular hits, such as "If the Whole World Was a Honky Tonk" by George Strait and "People Loving People" by Garth Brooks. While these two songwriters have immense talent all on their own, when combined, they created a song that resonates in the hearts of everyone.

"You're Gonna Miss This," was one of the Adkins' most popular songs, and reached the #1 slot on the chart of Billboard Hot Country Songs. It was released as a part of his album, "American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II."

Even today, this song is still played on the most memorable occasions of our lives. You may hear this lovely tune being played at a graduation ceremony as high school students walk across the stage or even at a wedding as the blushing bride glides down the aisle.

This song encourages us to look back into our past and acknowledge all that we have done and experienced. If we have any regrets, it encourages us to work towards correcting them and live our lives to the fullest.

The idea for the song came from one of Gorley's personal experiences with his children. His song is ultimately about the life of a young girl. She goes to school, gets married, and eventually has her own children. At each stage of her life, her parents tell her to savor each moment because she will miss the experiences once they are gone.

Being a father, it is no wonder Gorley was able to connect with the lyrics of the song and express such emotion and heartfelt words into them. The elegant music also adds to the effect.

In the music video, we can see the girl going through the various stages of her life. Adkins also plays a role in the video as he drives around the town singing along to the lyrics. Even after such a long time since its release, "You're Gonna Miss This" remains a favorite among country music lovers everywhere.
