The lyrics describe a man who let love get away from him, and now he bitterly regrets it.
His voice really makes the lyrics of the song shine. I know that “Statue of a Fool” is a cover, but this is my absolute favorite version of this song. His voice in this song is really amazing, and when combined with the lyrics, it really creates the feelings he’s trying to convey. It’s basically about how a man will leave the world loving a woman, even though she’s leaving him. The most poignant moment in the song for me, because I know it so well, is when he sings about someone saying he showed her picture to a stranger, and he sings “don’t you think I’ve got no pride?” It’s incredible, really.īecause I can’t seem to stop talking about the love songs, I’ll discuss “I’ll Leave This World Loving You”. Would she show up to help him heal? It doesn’t matter though, because it wasn’t him, just someone who looks a lot like him and loves someone like her. What would it matter if the rumors were true, would it change how she feels, he wonders. He says he got over her the day she left him, and someone is making up stories about him crying over her, and talking about her. It’s fantastic in that it tells the story of a man who gets a call from his ex. “Somebody Lied” is my favorite song on the whole album, I think. I love the steel guitar in this song too. I love this song, because it’s all about knowing that despite someone’s flaws, they still have good parts to them. It’s a love song all about how he was accepted, just as he was. This album starts off with one of my favorite songs by Ricky Van Shelton, “Just As I Am”. Standout Tracks: “Somebody Lied,” “Statue of a Fool,” “From a Jack to a King” People Who Might Like This Album: Those who love the 90s country sound, people who like love songs Since I still would like to talk about his music, though, I thought I’d talk about a collection of his biggest songs entitled Greatest Hits Plus. I will readily admit that I do not know his studio albums that well, which is something that I really need to remedy. Ricky van Shelton is an interesting artist.
