About The Song
Keith, known for his rough-around-the-edges persona and his songs that celebrate small-town life and American values, takes a more introspective turn here. This song isn’t about chasing sunsets with a starry-eyed sweetheart. It’s about the man who’s seen his share of relationships, maybe even had his heart broken a time or two. Now, he finds himself wanting to fall in love again, but something feels different.
“Tryin’ to Fall in Love” resonates with folks who’ve built a life, maybe even a family, and now wonder if they’re still capable of experiencing that all-encompassing love they felt when they were younger. Perhaps they’ve become a bit jaded, a bit cautious. Maybe they worry they’ve missed their chance at true love, or that putting their heart on the line again might just lead to disappointment.
This song is an honest look at the challenges of finding love later in life. It’s a sentiment many folks can relate to, especially those who’ve experienced the ups and downs of relationships. Keith doesn’t shy away from the realities – the fear of vulnerability, the uncertainty of putting yourself out there again. But there’s also a quiet hopefulness that runs through the lyrics, a yearning for connection and companionship.
So, if you’re someone who’s ever felt a little lost in the game of love, or if you’re wondering if it’s too late to find something special, then “Tryin’ to Fall in Love” might just strike a chord. It’s a song for those who believe in love’s enduring power, even when the path to getting there isn’t always smooth.
