To reference that song, that's the pain that I think this couple is getting ready to feel, that real pain. It's just raw, from-the-heart words, and it just fits together so perfectly. It's so simple and there's no real tricks in it. It's so painful and it just rips my heart out every time. "That's one of my, and I know it's one of Brad's, all-time favorite songs. "I Can't Make You Love Me" ( Bonnie Raitt) That's one that's such an emotional and sad song that we had to throw it in there." We wanted to pick songs that people would definitely know and feel, and they're definitely emotional songs, especially in the verse. It's this amazing relationship, but it's over, but I'm happy it happened, but I'm sad it's ending." It's poignant for the story that we were telling because it's got that happy and sad mix.
It's an iconic George Strait song that, if you're a fan of country music like we are, that's a big one. I think that's the first song that he ever learned to play on piano. Ramsey breaks down the 20 song titles name-checked in the song: And tell it using song titles.' The band, along with co-writer Matt Jenkins, had the song written that night. "We wound up thinking, 'What if we could tell a story about a couple that is losing each other, but they're still trying to hold on and hold onto this moment. The initial idea for "Song For Another Time," first came to Ramsey from hearing people say the phrase, "Well, that's a story for another time." We were on the back of the bus and I said, 'I have this title called 'Song For Another Time,' and I need some help figuring out what that means," says Ramsay. We're so happy that it's getting a shot." A lot of the background vocals and things like that were recorded in dressing rooms and hotel rooms and things like that on the road, because we had to get it done. It just sounded so big, and we all just looked at each other and said, 'Man, we are making a mistake if we don't get back home and record this song!' We called our producer and the record label and said, 'Please let us book a flight home and assemble this team for one more song,' and we did. "We were in I think Gillette Stadium and it was massive sounding. "Then we played it at a sound check one day," Ramsey, 38, says. It was written on their tour bus one evening last summer on the Kenny Chesney tour, just days before the album was finished. What makes it so special? The lyrics are actually made up of 20 other song titles – and the song almost didn't make the album. "This song means so much to me and I'm so proud of how it came out," frontman Matt Ramsey tells PEOPLE of the band's follow-up to their big hits "Break Up with Him" and "Snapback." For Old Dominion, their third single – "Song For Another Time" – might just be their most charming, and certainly their most unique, yet.
