Chris Stapleton On Hearing His Songs In The Real World
In a recent interview for Today’s Sunday Sitdown With Willie Geist, Chris Stapleton talked about how he feels after releasing his songs out to the world.
“Songs gain meaning over time, or the meanings change over time based on, you know, where you’re at in your own life. Those things can hit us different ways over time, you know? And so I don’t know exactly how that’s gonna hit me when I hear it out in the world or see how people respond to it. I think I’ll have different feelings. That’s when the songs get meaning to me, is when people assign the meaning to ’em. You know, I can think a song means one thing, and I can write it and I can sing it, and then it goes out into the world. Or you see people singing it back and you see that it means something to them. That’s probably not what you intended. Or maybe it’s exactly what you intended, but it, you see it in real time. And that, that’s when, that’s when those things will start, you know, being I, I’ll have to reflect on that, I think at that moment.”
