Tim McGraw On Asking Faith Hill For Opinion On Songs
Tim McGraw has been married to fellow musician Faith Hill for 25 years, so she is definitely someone whose opinion means a lot to him when it comes to his music and the songs he chooses to record.
“Faith is certainly my best set of ears that I have. I mean, I’m gonna play songs for her all the time, but we don’t always agree. Even when she’s doing a project or when I’m doing a project we don’t always agree on songs. But I think ultimately for me, I have to sort of have a vision or a sound in my head of what I want the song to sound like and the way I’m gonna sing it, and how I’m gonna interpret it. And sometimes it’s hard for anybody else, even sometimes my producers, to sort of feel or understand how I interpret the song or what it’s gonna be like when it comes time to record the song for me.
In those moments when Tim really believes in a song but other people can’t necessarily imagine the end result.
“It really has to come down to the bottom line of how I feel about the song. Ultimately, I just have to love it.”
