The Appreciation of Life: Tim Sings About 'Waking Up to Smell the Roses'

Tim McGraw sings Live Like You Were Dying -- which is a song about being thankful for the beauty of life, and living in-the-moment during the precious time that we all have here, because it can be taken away, without us fully appreciating it. He sings about taking what may obviously seem like a tragedy, turns it around, to remind us that (if you look deeper) and accept the things that you can't change, and appreciate the time given to us, there is so much in life to explore and cherish. We (simply) sometimes need to be woken-up to smell the roses.

A Song About Infidelity Times-Two, and the Lady In-Between

Kristen Kelly sings of the circumstance of having lost her (used to be) man, to a (used to be) female friend of hers. The song that she sings is: Ex-Old Man, and it is a very catchy tune, about a female who experiences a pair of cheaters (male and female), mutually cheating on her (with each other).

Typically, if an individual loses a lover because of someone that he or she does not know, comes into the picture, then heartbreak is typically difficult to bear. However, if an individual loses a lover because a close friend demonstrates infidelity, then you may imagine the grief.

However; in listening to the song that Kristen Kelly sings, it looks like someone may have made 'minced-meat' out of probable grief; and may she be awarded 'great kudos' for that achievement!

If this song is about a true personal experience of the singer, it certainly turns adversity and loss, into an upbeat triumphing anthem for her (personally), as well as connecting others by (the song) being one of universal relativeness, for listeners who personally know of the 'double-wammy' heartbreak, of losing (two individuals) ~ a lover and a friend, because of 'double-infidelity'.

May the song be a spring-board for losing the grief, and gaining insight and freedom from relationships of infidelity.
