Tim McGraw Knows How To Pick Emotional Songs

Tim McGraw has always had a knack for picking emotional songs that really strike a chord with people, like “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Don’t Take the Girl” and “Humble and Kind.”

When it comes to his song selection process and how he’s able to consistently find those types of songs.

“Everybody find emotions in different ways. I mean, there are a lot of great artists who had great lives growin’ up and they can make you feel anything you wanna feel. They’re fantastic,. For me, it all comes from, I guess, a piece of my soul. Every time I sing a song I feel like I’m tearing out a piece of my soul, and I want it to feel that way. I don’t try to over-sing anything because I’m just not that kind of singer. I just try to tell you how I feel. And I’ll tell you the most important thing I’ve learned through loving music and listening to the radio a lot is, you can tell somebody how you feel, but when you can tell somebody how they feel, and they didn’t know they felt that way until they heard it in a song or they felt it, I think that’s when there’s something really special. And I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve had some really great songs in my career that have allowed me to find that emotional well.”

Tim will kick off McGraw Tour 2022 at the end of next month with special guests Russell Dickerson, Brandon Davis and Alexandra Kay.
