On The Highway Desperado Tour With Jason Aldean But I think this record, as far as I can tell and what I’m seeing already, I’m just going back to really catchy grooves and vibes and lyrics that just tell a story about life more than just talking about the breaking up with somebody and the pain that comes with that.” Sometimes I like to reminisce I like to be nostalgic and I like to talk about stuff makes people feel, which a lot of breakups do. I think about future I think about life I think about what you love, but I’m always going to give pieces of what I love to do too. And it’s just what I think about more now. “I think I’ve just lived a lot more life, and I’ve been married almost a year now, coming up on that. Tenpenny’s life experiences have led to more diverse topics in his music. But I think I have one love song on this record,” he shares. I know I do, but that’s what works for us and that’s what people keep wanting from us and asking. “We’ve already done nine songs and I feel like they’re just all so different. “Bigger Mistakes” is part of a new collection of songs that Tenpenny is recording for an upcoming project, which he says span a wide variety of themes. And I don’t know necessarily if that’s a mistake, but when you think about it in the grand scheme of everything, it’s stuff that means a little bit more than a breakup that didn’t mean anything to you.”Ī post shared by Mitchell Tenpenny The Song Will Be Part Of A Bigger Project There are definitely a lot of things in life when friends pass or family pass, you wish you could’ve said that you didn’t.

And I’ll never forget that.” When Tenpenny was thinking of his own bigger mistakes in life, that memory came to mind. He continues, “He was so nice and so kind, just going out of his way to make us, we were absolutely nothing, no reason to even care, just make us feel special. But I never got to drink it with him,” Tenpenny mournfully recalls. And after the show, he came up to me and he gave me this bottle of whiskey, and we talked and we just kept up ever since then. The sound that night, the speakers, everything in the place, everything went wrong. It was my first real experience getting to know him and talk to him. “When we were just kind of starting out, we had a show in Alabama with him where I kind of got to know him.
