He’s a living musical legend and quite an actor, too. Tim McGraw will always be synonymous with iconic country music and even to this very day, decades after his career started, he’s releasing new music. That’s quite an incredible accomplishment only achieved by few. Unfortunately, though, his latest single is as boring as watching a sloth do a marathon. Brace yourself and check out the video, then scroll down for more…
The Song. The word toxic comes to mind as I review the lyrics of the song. He’s bad. She’s addicted. Not really the recipe for a healthy relationship, right? The whole premise of the poorly-executed song is perfectly dissected in a post on Kyle’s Korner blog, I literally couldn’t have said it better so I’ll move right along to the video.
The Video. The video features Tim McGraw and guitarist Adam Shoenfeld in a backstage hallway complete with a few equipment cases, a mic, and a mic stand. I’ll take “Phoning It In” for $500, Alex. I’ve always thought a music video should only exist if it makes the song better. In this case, it definitely does not. I will never understand the point of spending thousands and thousands of dollars for a video people will forget, or even worse, dislike.
Maybe it would’ve been best for the McGraw team to leave this song alone so fans can interpret it in their own way, recalling images of their own love story. But now the track is linked with a video that is very, and I mean very, boring. Decades from now this will be one we can’t remember hearing or watching. So to end this on a positive note, here’s a better nod to Tim and Faith’s relationship… “I Need You.”
