Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter Lyrics

Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter Lyrics

Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head,
He can’t see past that mountain of dealines
On his desk,
Five o’clock, he’s the last one
Out of the gate,
And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off,
Out on the interstate
And he wonders why this world won’t leave him alone,
Till he hears that little voice holler,
Daddy’s home

Things that matter,
Things that don’t.

She’s held on to that grudge,
All her life,
And thirty years of anger,
Since her dad walked out that night,
She thinks of all the moments that he’s missed,
All the birthdays, ballets, first dates,
It seems too much to forget,
She gets that call that said he don’t have long,
She walks in, he starts crying,
The past is gone.

Things that matter,
Things that don’t.

Time ain’t on our side,
Don’t wanna leave this world,
With why didn’t I,
Why didn’t I,
Yeah, why didn’t I?

Sometimes I take on this world by myself,
Thinkin’ I got all the answers,
Don’t need anybody’s help,
When God was right there waiting for me all along,
To fall down on my knees,
Surrender all

Things that matter,
Things that don’t,
Things that matter,
Things that don’t.

Rascal Flatts - Love Who You Love

Rascal Flatts - Love Who You Love - It’s a decent track, but I feel like ‘Forever’ is going to be the third single. This track still has a good shot at being released as a single. 7/10

Rascal Flatts - Unstoppable

“The three members of Rascal Flatts sit like reigning kings—in high-backed, throne-like chairs with a red velvet curtain behind them—on the cover of their sixth album. And why not? After 10 years and just as many No. 1 country singles, the trio has long ruled the country world and may well be the “Unstoppable” force the title posits (although the song itself is about love, not career). The 11-track set is unlikely to slow the group’s momentum, since it’s as polished as a diner countertop. It has the requisite array of country-pop straddling sonics, starting with the soaring choruses and fiddle hooks of “Love Who You Love” through to the chugging rock tempo of “Close” and the arena-sized beat of “Summer Nights,” whose power chords and well-worn lyrical images of beach party celebration sound like Kenny Chesney’s “Summertime” as played by the Dave Matthews Band. Rascal Flatts and its assorted songwriting cohorts also bring out such heart-wringing, earnest lost love paeans as “Here Comes Goodbye,” “Why” and “Forever.” —Gary Graff”

Rascal Flatts adds dimensions to music with age

Rascal Flatts adds dimensions to music with age

One of the reasons Rascal Flatts has sold millions over the decade is their deft blend of rock and pop in anthematic crossover hits, from the cover of “Life Is a Highway” to the heart-tugging ballad “What Hurts the Most.”

Fans will find those familiar touches on their latest record, including their first single, the soaring top 10 Billboard country hit “Here Comes Goodbye.” But bassist and songwriter Jay DeMarcus says Flatts fans may be surprised by what else they hear on the trio’s latest CD, “Unstoppable,” released this week.

“In an odd way, this album is a bit more country than even ‘Me and My Gang’ and even ‘Still Feels Good’ was,” DeMarcus says.

“We love pop too and we’ve had so much success there,” he adds. “(But) we were at a place where we said, ‘You know what? There are some times where good old-fashioned country music is still the best thing in the world.’”

Putting old-fashioned country and Rascal Flatts in the same sentence may seem oxymoronic, especially since they were seen early on as a slick, boy band-type act. But the group — which includes DeMarcus’ cousin, lead singer (and sometime songwriter) Gary Levox and guitarist Joe Don Rooney — has dominated country music with enduring hits spanning nearly 20 million albums sold since its 1999 debut.

The band won its seventh straight trophy for best vocal group Sunday at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

“It’s fun to go on this journey with these guys,” says Dann Huff, the group’s longtime producer. “They’re totally living this dream. They came to Nashville just to see if they could make a living in music. I don’t think they ever dreamt of this. But they’re there.”

They’ve remained together not only by maintaining a strong friendship — they good-naturedly poke fun, finish each other’s sentences and dole out compliments during an hour-long interview — but also by crafting albums with mainstream songs. While members of the group have had a hand in writing some of Rascal Flatts’ hits, they’ve also been smart enough to solicit other songwriters who seem to have a knack for writing hits.

“A lot of these artists get to a place where they want to write their entire album and they feel like it makes them less of an artist if they do a song penned by someone else because it’s not coming from within their songs, but at the end of the day I just want to hear a great song,” says DeMarcus. “We did write some on this record but we’ve always stood by the mantra: ‘The best song wins.’”

Rooney says one of the most emotional tunes on the record for him is “Things That Matter,” co-written by Levox, which talks about family and love trumping some of the other things that threaten to get in the way.

“It definitely hit me right in the heart having a baby,” says Rooney, whose wife gave birth to a son almost a year ago. “We try to look for songs like that that speak to us, because if they can speak to us we know they’ll speak to a lot of other people too.”

The album closes with another emotional song written by outside writers, titled “Why,” about suicide.

“It’s written in a very delicate way to where it deals with the subject matter,” says DeMarcus. “Gary and I had an uncle who shot himself eight years ago, so we’ve experienced it firsthand in our own family.”

Huff says the inclusion of “Why” and other tracks shows a maturation for the guys, all of whom are in their 30s and married (Levox and his wife also have children).

Levox calls “Unstoppable” their best album yet. He says while the band is high on the perch of country’s elite, they want to make sure they don’t get complacent in their position.

“You dream about this position as a kid, and I think we work harder every day just to continue to grow, and do what we love to do,” he says. “We always keep striving to do better and be the best, because at the end of the day, it’s all about the careers that we’ve made for ourselves. We’ve got the greatest jobs in the world — we get to touch people’s lives through music.”

Rascal Flatts - Here Comes Goodbye

Excellent pick for the first single from Rascal Flatts upcoming album “Unstoppable”. The track hits radio on January 26th 2009 so you can look for it then (You can listen to the complete song below, however there is a Rascal Flatts voiceover talking about their upcoming album). The track is also written by former American Idol contestant and Nashville resident Chris Sligh. Should be a huge hit on country radio. 10/10

Rascal Flatts - Here

I can’t seem to find this song on any review or mix of the month, which is bothering me because i’ve been listening to this track forever it seems like. Somehow just starting to get action. Fantastic track. 10/10

Side Note - After doing some more research, obviously this work computer sucks. The track was featured on the October 2007 Mix of the Month and was #1 on my Top 20 from September 30th 2007. I’m trying to figure out why this track was on one of my promo cd’s, as this track has been huge on Country Radio for quite some time.
