Music reviews of Live Like You Were Dying
Music Review: Way to Go, Tim
Rating: 5 Stars
I've always liked Tim's songs and have collected his albums over the years. But this album really hit me with the title track, "Live Like You Were Dying". Four years ago I was diagnosed with an incurable disease which takes 20% of us who have it. So after hearing this song, I looked at this illness a little differently.
It took me these past 4 years to come out of the depression from the bad news. This summer I finally felt up to doing things again, so we used this song as our summer theme. I'd been skydiving before, and this illness already seems like 8 seconds of bull riding, so we didn't have to do those. But we went Rocky Mountain climbing. And went Hood and Rainier climbing, and we went Alaska Mountain climbing. I had to prove to myself that I can still do stuff like that again. And we did it for a good cause, for charity, "Summitting for the Bipolar Cure - 2007".
You know, I look back to when I was younger. When I was perfect. When I thought that ill people should just, "get over it, work a little harder, and achieve what everybody else was achieving." But I've learned a lesson the hard way that sometimes it ain't always that easy.
Thanks for recognizing all of us with chronic deadly diseases and giving us a more positive way of looking at it. You got a good heart, man.
Description of Live Like You Were Dying
Grammy award winning superstar Tim McGraw will release his ninth album on August 24 2004, Live Like You Were Dying. The album is one of the most anticipated releases due this year and will feature his touring band, the Dancehall Doctors, for their second consecutive project. The album's title track, written by Craig Wiseman and Tim Nichols, has become the fastest rising chart single of McGraw's career, breaking into the top 5 in just 4 weeks and # 1 in six weeks.On the back cover of his ninth album Tim McGraw sits atop a horse, which just happens to be standing in the foyer of an elegant home. McGraw sits backwards in the saddle, looking not at where he's going, but where he's been. The image tips off the theme of this solid, 16-song album--for a singer who doesn't write, it's as close to autobiography as it gets. "How Bad Do You Want It," for example references not only bluesman Robert Johnson's crossroads chat with ol' Lucifer, but also the kind of relentless drive that got McGraw to the top of the Nashville heap. The dryly funny "Back When" finds the man who recently bought a $6.4 million Beverly Hills mansion yearning for a simpler time. "Walk Like a Man" talks about the kind of abusive father McGraw himself had before he discovered he was the son of baseball legend Tug McGraw. The late pitcher is surely the subject of three songs here about death, loss, and carrying on, especially the title track, a big, uplifting affirmation of life. If it's also a little sappy, so be it--singing about the most painful thing he's ever endured, he gives it a dignified, understated reading (and only a week or so after his father's passing). It takes an artist to do that, and while McGraw may not be the greatest of warblers, nobody in country can touch him at conveying emotions too deep to express in words. Look for this to be the album of his career. --Alanna Nash
